Day 8
3 documented wins
COVID-discharged troops invited back
The win
Service members discharged solely for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine were offered reinstatement at their former rank, with a path to back pay.
For Americans
Thousands of trained soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines who lost jobs over a shot can put the uniform back on. That is a personnel win and a fairness win for the people who actually deploy.
Iron Dome for America
The win
An order directed a plan for a next-generation American missile shield — sensors, interceptors, and a secure supply chain — with allied cooperation.
For Americans
The point is that a missile aimed at a U.S. city gets stopped. Families should not have to hope foreign launchers miss.
Restoring the fighting force
The win
DEI programs inside the armed forces were ordered shut down. Standards, not identity offices, were put back at the center of readiness.
For Americans
A military that promotes on merit and trains to fight is the one that brings sons and daughters home. Identity workshops do not stop drones.
