President Trump Signs Two Executive Orders Banning DEI and Transgender Indoctrination in Military

The military then vs. Biden-Harris military

President Trump has signed executive orders to root leftist ideology out of the military and prioritize lethality.

The President signed four executive orders last night, including “Reinstating Service Members Discharged Under the Military’s COVID-19 Vaccination Mandate,” which reinstates all members of the military who were fired for refusing the COVID vaccine and entitles them to “receive full back pay, benefits, bonus payments, or compensation.”

He also signed “Iron Dome for America,” initiating the development of a “state-of-the-art Iron Dome missile defense shield” to protect the United States from various aerial threats modeled after Israel’s renowned Iron Dome. 

Additionally, Trump signed the “Restoring America’s Fighting Force” executive order and the “Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness” executive orders, which direct every element of the U.S. military to “operate free from any preference based on race or sex” and root out gender insanity and made up pronoun usage, respectively.

Under “Restoring America’s Fighting Force,” it is now the policy of the United States that “the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security with regard to the United States Coast Guard (USCG), and every element of the Armed Forces should operate free from any preference based on race or sex.”

The order further directs the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of Homeland Security to “abolish every DEI office within the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security with regard to the USCG, respectively, including any vestiges of DEI offices, such as sub-offices, programs, elements, or initiatives established to promote a race-based preferences system that subverts meritocracy, perpetuates unconstitutional discrimination, and promotes divisive concepts or gender ideology.”

“As Chief Executive and as Commander in Chief, I am committed to meritocracy and to the elimination of race-based and sex-based discrimination within the Armed Forces of the United States. No individual or group within our Armed Forces should be preferred or disadvantaged on the basis of sex, race, ethnicity, color, or creed,” the order states.

“Unfortunately, in recent years civilian and uniformed leadership alike have implemented Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs and their attendant race and sex preferences within the Armed Forces. These actions undermine leadership, merit, and unit cohesion, thereby eroding lethality and force readiness. They also violate Americans’ consciences by engaging in invidious race and sex discrimination.”

This comes in addition to the President’s day one executive order, “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing,” which orders “termination of all discriminatory programs, including illegal DEI and ‘diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility’ (DEIA) mandates, policies, programs, preferences, and activities in the Federal Government.”

The Gateway Pundit reported that Trump Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has already taken the first steps to abolish radical leftwing ideology from the military, announcing over the weekend that the DoD will no longer tolerate DEI, an offshoot of CRT. “The Pentagon will comply immediately. No exceptions, name-changes, or delays,” Hegseth said, noting that “Those who do not comply will no longer work here.”

Trump’s “Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness” calls for the military to have a “singular focus on developing the requisite warrior ethos.” The order states, “The pursuit of military excellence cannot be diluted to accommodate political agendas or other ideologies harmful to unit cohesion.”

“Recently, however, the Armed Forces have been afflicted with radical gender ideology to appease activists unconcerned with the requirements of military service like physical and mental health, selflessness, and unit cohesion.”

The order continues, “Consistent with the military mission and longstanding DoD policy, expressing a false “gender identity” divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service. Beyond the hormonal and surgical medical interventions involved, adoption of a gender identity inconsistent with an individual’s sex conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life. A man’s assertion that he is a woman, and his requirement that others honor this falsehood, is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member.”

This order directs the Secretary of Defense to ensure that military service is “reserved for those mentally and physically fit for duty” and “promptly issue directives for DoD to end invented and identification-based pronoun usage.” The standards for our military troops are deemed “inconsistent with the medical, surgical, and mental health constraints on individuals with gender dysphoria.”

This is another one of President Trump’s campaign promises, which he’s followed through on.

Trump famously began playing a video at his rallies starting in October, where scenes from boot camp in the classic 1987 film “Full Metal Jacket” are juxtaposed with drag queens dancing in the current military. The Gateway Pundit previously reported on the epic clip after Trump played it during a campaign rally.
