Donald Trump plans to issue executive orders that will eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in the military, as well as reinstate troops dismissed for vaccine refusals. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who faced opposition during his confirmation, emphasizes these changes as crucial. The Air Force continues providing educational content compliant with Trump's orders. As Hegseth assumes his role amid contentious dynamics, discussions of potential mass firings in the military leadership surface, reflecting the politically charged atmosphere surrounding his leadership.
Hegseth has promised to bring major changes to the Pentagon and he has made eliminating DEI from the military a top priority.
Hegseth's nomination was divisive, in part because the military's top job has historically gone to candidates with deep experience running large organizations.
