Donald Trump's presidency has markedly intertwined military affairs with his own political agenda unlike any of his predecessors. His recent speech at Fort Bragg overlooked honoring the military's legacy in favor of mocking political opponents and promoting divisive topics. He stands out for reversing nonpartisan military traditions, such as altering leadership diversity and undermining health mandates. These actions reflect a broader strategy to reshape the military in his likeness, including dispatching troops to manage border security and reinstating discharged service members due to vaccination refusals.
While past commanders in chief might have chosen to deliver a speech that celebrated the U.S. Army's history... Mr. Trump opted instead for a rambling speech that ridiculed radical left lunatic politicians.
Not one has challenged the military's time-honored tradition of nonpartisanship as Mr. Trump has.
His administration's decision to remove senior officers, many Black and female, from positions on the Joint Chiefs... reportedly as part of its anti-D.E.I. initiative.
His determination to reinstate and pay former service members who had been discharged after refusing Covid vaccinations was a significant move.
