President Trump has done a lot to and for the military this year. Overall, it’s been a very good year for our men and women in uniform.
Trump has restored pride in the force. You can see that in the recruitment numbers which have reached a 15-year high after the awful slump under Biden. Trump has rid the force of the “woke” ideology that Biden forced on it as well as the DEI nonsense.
The president tried to help our military members with his $1776 “warrior bonus.” Our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines have been underpaid for far too long. The bonus has to help if only a bit.
Trump’s use of our military has ranged from the excellent to the not so good. The issue is whether we have a vital national security interest in one war or another making it necessary for us to employ the military. In some we have those interests, and in some we haven’t.
In March through May, Trump ordered strikes on the Houthis of Yemen. We don’t have a vital national security interest at stake in Yemen, but the Iranians choose to, and they sponsor Houthi terrorism.
