  • 2025/01/28 04:35 UTC [L..T] [US:EO] REINSTATING SERVICE MEMBERS DISCHARGED UNDER THE MILITARY’S COVID-19 VACCINATION MANDATE This order reinstates any service members who were discharged solely because they refused to be vaccinated against COVID. This requirement had already been rescinded on 2023-01-10 by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, for reasons that are unclear; this EO makes that amnesty retroactive.
  • 2025/01/28 03:54 UTC [L..T] [US:EO] Restoring America’s Fighting Force «The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall 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.» Increasing military readiness is a reasonable goal, but then why did he ban trans people from serving? (shorter Trump: [kicks a bunch of people out] "We need more people!")
  • 2025/01/28 03:47 UTC [L..T] [US:EO] Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness This order forces the military to observe birth-assigned gender and denies gender-affirming medical care of any kind, apparently on the theory that transgender soldiers are somehow less tough than cis soldiers. This will result in a large number of trans military personnel leaving the military, reducing readiness.
  • 2011/07/15 [L..T] Default Would Dim American Power A sustained default could undercut American power in four ways. The first and perhaps most certain would be to force cuts in defense spending. Second, a default would make it harder for Washington to negotiate agreements or build alliances with other countries. Third, a debt default would erode American credibility. Finally, a default could help China, Russia and other major buyers of U.S. debt accomplish something they have been trying to do for years: find an alternative investment to U.S. Treasurys.

  • 2007-10-18 New U.S. naval strategy: Preventing wars: "In the first major revision of U.S. naval strategy in 25 years, maritime officials said Wednesday they plan to focus more on humanitarian missions and improving international cooperation as a way to prevent conflicts. .. "We believe that preventing wars is as important as winning wars," said the new strategy announced by the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard." Is this the non-evangelized branches of the military taking a carefully calculated step towards halting Bush madness, specifically the potential US invasion of Iran and possible attempts to turn the US into a police state?
