President Harry Truman pushed for different branches of service to be combined into a single Department of National Defense in 1947, telling Congress the move was necessary to "cut costs and at the same time enhance our national security."

Emphasis mine.

This is somehow the funniest part of the article for me. The bourgeois obsession of cost-cuttinf is as old as the bourgeoise themselves.
