"The Ronald Reagan Defense Building"

If someone wants to paint it black and rename it The Vader Building, I'll support it...

Until then, it's the Pentagon to me.

But then we can't shorten it to dee-oh-dee. And you can't just say "war", cause it would confuse people. God knows I confuse enough people saying "energy".

I really don't care if they do. Considering how much we spent on the military during Reagan's administration it would certainly be fitting.

Of course you can shorten it: the DoW!

How long has the Pentagon been "The Pentagon?" Has it ever been called anything else, or was it always called the Pentagon since it's construction?

Likely a name that emerged due to the shape (duh!) and the people working in it nicknaming it that much like the new GCHQ building being named the "Doughnut" with the workers inside being called the "jam". Cute.

Bah, sucks to be them then

We usually abbreviate the rest of the departments anyways

Hell, why stop there. I mean Washington's been dead for what? 200 years? Lets change the name of the Capitol. Reagan DC. Also, i never liked New Jersey, so henceforth it will be referred to as New Reagansville.

I think we should build a new building with LAZERS and name it after regan. It would be fitting.

Well this is silly.

Do any other Ex-Presidents garner this much of a fan base?

Sadly, no. And I've been waiting quite some time for the Teddy Roosevelt "Big Fucking Stick" building (formerly State Department building)

Reagan already has an Airport named after him in Washington... just down the road from the Pentigon... what do they want to do? make it Reagan D.C?
