President Donald Trump is set to sign three executive orders that will significantly impact the US military. The first order will ban transgender troops from serving, while the second order will prohibit any 'discriminatory' policies related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the military. This move follows the Trump administration's decision to place federal DEI office employees on paid administrative leave.
The third executive order directs the newly appointed Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, to reinstate all active and reserve service members who were previously discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine. These reinstated service members will receive their former rank, back pay, and benefits.
