He’s still working hard to make the U.S. military the lethal fighting machine it is meant to be, not a social experiment breeding ground for crazy leftists
Trump signs 4 new executive orders, transforming military
President Trump signed a bevy of new executive orders Monday evening that have the potential to significantly transform the Defense Department (DOD).
The new orders prevent transgender people from openly serving in the military, greenlight the process of developing a missile defense shield to protect the U.S., and reinstate service members that voluntarily left or were forced out of the military over COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
Trump also penned an expected executive order that would “abolish” every diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) office within the DOD and Department of Homeland Security, the latter of which houses the U.S. Coast Guard. All four were signed late Monday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s first formal day in office.
The president revoked an executive order from his predecessor, former President Biden, penned in 2021 that allowed transgender people to serve in the military. He also directed Hegseth to set new military preparedness requirements.
Trump said “expressing a false ‘gender identity’ divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service.”
There might well be some transgenders who want to serve and fight and protect the U.S., but, it sure looks like most are there for free surgeries and medications, while pushing their own crazy agenda on the military and everyone. And, since they have much worse mental health than others, and suicidal thoughts, it’s not a great idea to have them around military grade weapons.
The order directs the Defense Department to begin forging sketches for “an Iron Dome for America,” a missile defense system that would protect Americans from potential “ballistic, hypersonic, cruise missiles” and other space-based attacks from “peer, near-peer and rogue adversaries.” The project was discussed during the Reagan administration but was never developed.
I just wonder how Democrats will attack this, an initiative meant to protect the U.S. as our enemies develop more and better and faster missiles.
One thing: as Trump and Hegseth get rid of DEI they need to get rid of most, if not all, of the HR managers, since they tend to create way too many issues, just like they do in the private sector. They drive policy, rather than the military leaders driving it.
From what I have seen, it is more the second thing than the first. There is a certain mental illness that goes along with people demanding that you see 5 lights. It is hard to say how many actually go through with the surgeries since signing up for unnecessary surgeries is it’s own kind of mental health issue.
Note, crossdressing is particularly absurd in the military since male and females wear uniforms that are nearly the same.
Il Douche sent hundreds of our Marine “lethal fighting machine” to Texas to string barbed wire to keep Mexicans out.
Should our “lethal warfighters” be stringing fences?
Should a coward like you who avoided service be mocking and deriding the duly elected Commander-in-Chief and our Marines?
They’re certainly better men than a whiner like you.
And you’re something else, Rimjob.
MAGA47 Motherfucker!
ShittyButt,
I volunteered for the Army, although I did not support the war. Where and when did you serve for all the wars you’ve supported?
Our Commander in Chief is a putz that I will continue to mock and deride. I have never derided our Marines.
In high-school I defended the soldiers returning from Vietnam who were brave in fighting an unjust war and being called “baby killers” on their return.
You didn’t serve no matter what you say.
Shittybutt,
Where and when did you volunteer and serve?
Where and when did Il Douche volunteer and serve?
Il Douche uses our military personnel as pawns.
“I sent the Marines to the border!!”
To stop an invasion? Of course
All this talk about “lethal”, “warfighters”, “lethal fighting machine” is just chest-thumping for their supporters.
The United States military is the strongest, most well-equipped military in history. These men and women deserve better than the mocking and derision they get from the likes of Peter Hegseth and Il Douche and their supplicants.
MAGAts: You won. It’s time to stop the campaigning and start leading.
The only people being “mocked and derided” are blowhards like you and your ilk, Rimjob.
Get used to it.

Jeff,
you keep repeating this about our military. Yet you have zero factual information. Certainly, compared to most other countries our military is good, and we have a number of good tech options. But, due to democrat administrations our military is in serious disrepair and is substantially lacking in fighters who happen to be white males. Before you condemn that statement look it up.
Hey Porter!
Do you agree that the US has the most powerful, best military on Earth?
By all means, more young white males should volunteer.
Over 80% of officers (all branches) are caucasian.
At all levels (officers + enlisted), just under 70% are white, 17% are Black. Some 15% are Hispanic (white, and non-white).
Less than 20% are female.
Would you ban Blacks, Hispanics and women from US military service?
Ellie,
I see that you are math challenged.
Around 70% of the population is white.
It follows that the majority be white.
It appears that the size is near the population size…… 70 vs 80.
The US Hispanic population is 19.5%. Given that the Hispanic population is younger than the white, it follows that the military would have an unbalance in % of population vs % in military. Plus military service smooths the path to citizenship.
You offer no explanation for not separating the number of blacks. Are they included?
Uh, no. 54% enlisted women vs 69% men is the actual numbers. Given that it is the exceptional size wise female vs “normal” it is unusual to find 54% I hope that are not lowering the standards.
It is interesting to note that black females serve 29% to black males 17%. Any ideas as to why?

Man Jeff, look at all those useless numbers. Once again you show your stupidity.
Look up the deficit in people joining the military. You will find all races meet quota except for white males. Those are off substantially . Now, why is that a problem? Look up combat mortality and morbidity. You will find a disproportionate number of white males. The reason is that white males are the fighters, not the brown folks. As to officers, the reason they are so well represented is that they are smarter than other ethnic groups, especially you. As to repair of material, sad shape.
ED: “These men and women deserve better than the mocking and derision they get from the likes of Peter Hegseth and [President Trump] and their supplicants.”
I agree. It was especially galling when Hegseth, Trump, and every Trump supporter on earth said, “Clap for that you stupid bastards” and “Man, you are a dull bunch. Must be slow here, man.”
Oh, wait. That was Biden. Oops, never mind.
Ellie,
You haven’t served so you know nothing about preparedness much less how the squad/flight crew’s interact.
So, it would be helpful if you just shut your pie hole and let those who have experience establish the rules.
HAHAHAH. Ya. He isn’t going to shut his pie hole. Lack of understanding never stopped him before. He will just cut-paste something off the internet.
Called it.
Professor Hale should 1) demonstrate his understanding and 2) shut his pie-hole.
Tell us. Do you believe the US military is the most effective on Earth?
Again Rimjob steps in it.
The good professor actually served in the military you, Rimjob, avoided it.
What a putz!
MAGA47 Motherfucker!
More stoopid from the MAGA47 Motherfucker!
LOL
Ellie,
ou
Define effective. Given that our civil leadership is an integral part of our military it is obvious that we have been ineffective since WWII.
Choo-Choo,
Most Americans have not served in the military. Certainly, the man (Il Douche) wanting to change the system has zero experience. Peter Hegseth has combat experience but little else, although he is a drunk, philanderer, accused rapist and has right-wing tattoos.
Clearly, the United States military is by far the most effective military in history.
You should shut your pie-hole.
So Rimjob enlighten us on your military experiences.
President Trump served 4 years as Commander-in-Chief. He’s re-upped for 4 more.
Hegseth is a decorated soldier with combat and leadership experience.
So again please tell us of your military experience.
MAGA47 Motherfucker!
The MAGA47 Motherfucker! believes being president gives Il Douche wisdom about our brave troops.
Guess being a lying coward who never served in the military like Rimjob gives him the wisdom to disaparage those who do.
Such a putz!
MAGA47 Mothefucker!
Ellie,
In case you missed it… oh! wait! you did…..
We never lost a battle in Vietnam…. But we lost the war… How effective is that???
And there’s nothing going on in the ME…. Russia listen’s closely to what we say…
War is the physical extension of foreign policy.
You are too stupid to understand how bitter our military people are at our “leaders.”
You are despicable.
The US and Israel spend billions on the Iron Dome of Israel, a nation the size of New Jersey.
Iron Dome is designed to intercept short-range rockets, shells and mortars, at ranges of between 4km and 70km from the missile launcher and according to the Israel Defense Fund is 90% effective.
Obviousy, Iron Dome wouldn’t protect America. It will take something much bigger and better. Iron Dome could protect Texas from Mexican attacks, North Dakota from Canadian attacks and Mar-a-Largo from Cuban attacks, but not DC, Fort Cavazos, Fort Liberty, Joint Base San Antonio, Naval Station Norfolk etc from attacks from China, NK or Putin.
David’s Sling, developed by Israel and the US is designed to destroy longer-range rockets, cruise missiles and medium-range or long-range ballistic missiles from a distance of up to 300km.
Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 are systems developed by Israeli and US systems for defending against ICBMs!
The US also has the THAAD system, similar to David’s Sling.
The Israeli Iron Dome missles only cost about $50,000 each.
America HAS a system but there are questions about its potential effectiveness.
Jeff,
I actually went to your reference. A far left wing nut site. Please use site that are not trying to push an agenda.
Porter,
That’s a lie. As always. You lie as much as Il Douche.
Anyway dumbass, the reference supports Il Douche’s point that we need a better defense system. Try reading.
I know enough not to send our brave Marines to build fences in Texas.
You should too.
Rimjob knows enough to back a kinda President that allowed 10+ million illegals into the US.
Marines you know nothing about.
What a putz!
MAGA47 Motherfucker!
ShittyButt, aka the MAGA47 Motherfucker!,
So there are now 21+ million “illegals” in the US?
So Il Douche will deport them all by 2055?
LOL
I know enough about our Marines to know they shouldn’t be building fences.
How much do you know? You know that if Il Douche says it, you believie it, and that settles it!
Opinion: Il Douche is a greater threat to America than are migrants.
Really the only thing Rimjob knows for sure is how to try and get a faulty therapeutic cancer drug past the FDA and how to lose +$75 million of investors money doing it.
Galera Therapeutics you can GOOGLE it.
Such a putz!
MAGA47 Motherfucker
Our Minister of the Marines from Missouri wrote:
Do you know where our Marines and soldiers did build fences? They built them in Baghdad, they built them in Kandahar, they built them in Bagram, they built them around every military base we have, in every nation we’ve had them.
Those heavily controlled gates you see at every Army, Navy, Chair Force, and Marine Base you ever pass? Those are gates in fences, the fences around the bases!
Yeah, some of those fences were built by civilian contractors, but they were built to secure the base. Well, if the Marines are building fences in the Lone Star State to protect the United States against the invasion of foreigners, they are doing their number one job: defending our country.
Oor Kuntrarian from Kentucky equates installing fences in Texas with our Marines building fences in war zones.
Ellie,
You seem to want our Marines to be engaged in combat. Trust me. No real military man or woman wants to engage in combat.
Constructing fences is such a routine task for military units that almost all units in the Army and USMC have the tools to construct fences and most military unit have on hand small stocks of “barrier materials” just for that purpose. Tools include heavy gloves for wire handling, cutters, and picket drivers as well as shovels axes and saws. Barrier materials include rolls of concertina wire (what the vids are showing being used at the border), rolls of barbed wire, and steel pickets. Most military posts have truckloads of this stuff just sitting out in the parking lots and it is considered disposable. Mechanized units also have special trained people who can do welding to fabricate gates and fences to cross ditches. Engineer units have massive amounts of heavy equipment like bulldozers and excavators to do earthmoving, emplace culverts, and improve drainage.
That is all part of their NORMAL operating conditions. If they were not doing this at the border, they would be doing it at 29 Palms and Fort Irwin, just for practice.
How long has Peter Hegseth been Secretary of Defense? How’s he doing so far?
