Trump Overhauls Military Using Executive Orders

Background

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – President Trump is implementing a significant restructuring of the U.S. military through three executive orders, addressing those thrown out for refusing the Covid-19 vaccine, banning transgender service members, and banning the use of “invented and identification-based pronouns.”

President Trump will issue an executive order to reinstate approximately 8,000 service members dismissed for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine, restoring their original ranks, back pay, and lost benefits. This reverses actions taken under President Biden.

President Trump emphasized that reinstating service members discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine fulfills a campaign promise and a commitment from his inauguration speech last week.

A White House fact sheet specifies that the executive order will instruct Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to reinstate “all members of the military (active and reserve) who were discharged for refusing the COVID vaccine and who request to be reinstated.”

According to a White House fact sheet, after the 2023 repeal of the vaccine mandate, only 43 of over 8,000 dismissed troops chose to return under President Biden, many of whom had lost their jobs and received less than honorable discharges, affecting their veterans benefits.

At his confirmation hearing, newly confirmed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth committed to reinstating service members dismissed for refusing the vaccine.

President Trump will also issue executive orders through another directive to ban transgender individuals from serving in the military and to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

President Trump will sign an executive order to revoke Mr. Biden’s 2021 directive that allowed transgender people to serve openly in the military, citing mental health and physical readiness issues. The order, first reported by The New York Post, will ban transgender service members, stating that “unit cohesion requires high levels of integrity and stability among service members.”

It will also address military standards on pronouns and gender identity, noting that the extensive medical care and minimum 12-month recovery period post-transition surgery, often involving heavy narcotics, render transgender individuals physically incapable of meeting military readiness and requirements.
