<h1>Trump Orders Pentagon to Ban Transgender Troops, Rehire Unvaccinated, Scrap DEI Initiatives, and Boost Space Defense</h1> President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the revision of Pentagon policies, potentially leading to a ban on transgender military service. The order also reinstates troops discharged for refusing COVID-19 vaccinations, with conditions, and abolishes diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in the Defense Department. Additionally, Trump has called for the development of a space-based missile defense system. The DEI ban has led to the removal of certain historical content in military training, though some will be reinstated. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, newly appointed, will oversee these changes.
