First to go, the ones who brought DEI into the meritocracy, and the ones who welcomed Drag Shows on base, and a special kick in the ass as they leave for the ones who forced thousands of capable, expensively trained, willing and patriotic service members out of the military over a damn covid shot.This seems a little inconsistent, though, with Trump's theory of how federal personnel is obligated to be responsive to - and implement - the policy preferences of the President.
There's little doubt that President Biden
wanted all the soldiers to have to take the damn covid shot. That they shouldn't be allowed to skip it. It's not like the generals and other military commanders should have
chosen to allow soldiers to skip their vaccinations just because they didn't want to take it, since that policy would have immediately been countermanded by the CinC.
So why be upset with anyone other than Biden, and perhaps Lloyd Austin? Same with DEI. On his literal first day in office, Biden issued an Executive Order directing a "whole of government" obligation to advance equity and inclusion. This was followed by a second EO in June
expressly ordering that every part of the government implement a DEI plan:
