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.
