“The aggressor always pretends to be peace-loving because he would like to achieve his conquests without bloodshed . . . Therefore, aggression must be presented as a defensive reaction by the aggressor nation”.
Karl von Clausewitz, War, Politics, and Power.

This news article has a fatal flaw, it equates the U.S., with the Department of Defense. The DoD is not a part of the U.S. Government, this entity is a chartered corporation.
The Federal Register, entry reproduced below confirms the Department of Defense is chartered.

The Rockefeller Committee prompted the creation of the Department of Defense, not Congress.

The Department of Defense was created by President Eisenhower who issued an executive order, Reorganization Plan No. 6,to provide a quick fix” that avoided the need for legislation. Implemented in April 1953, the reorganization eliminated the Munitions Board and the Research and Development Board, transferring their functions to the Secretary of Defense. It also created six additional assistant secretaries of defense and a general counsel, and empowered the chairman of the Joint Chiefs to manage the Joint Staff (the JCS bureaucracy). The Reorganization Plan was prompted by the Rockefeller Committee.
The plan is reproduced below, with the statute listed as 67 Stat. 638

Munitions Board, together with office of Chairman, abolished by section 2 of Reorg. Plan No. 6 of 1953, eff. June 30, 1953, 18 F.R. 3743, 67 Stat. 638, set out in the Appendix to *Title 5, Government Organization and Employees. All functions vested in Munitions Board transferred to Secretary of Defense by section 1(a) of Reorg. Plan No. 6 of 1953
