Based on Donald Trump’s statements on the campaign trail, changes are coming to the military. The move towards wokeness will be halted, reversed, and removed. This includes the removing of woke officers. Kheel suggests that this action goes against the idea of a military that is more welcoming. The author also suggests that Donald Trump could potentially misuse the military and put troops in position to where they would have to refuse to obey “unlawful” orders.<\/p>\n

Among those whom Trump has talked about targeting with the military are “the enemy within,” including “the fascists, the Marxists, the communists, the people that we have that are actually running the country.”<\/p>\n

“Those people are more dangerous — the enemy from within — than Russia and China and other people,” Trump said at an October rally. Specific people he’s named as enemies include Democratic politicians such as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Adam Schiff of California, who was elected to the Senate on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Trump has also talked about using the military to help carry out his plan for deporting tens of millions of undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. In an interview with Time magazine earlier this year, Trump said he would largely tap the National Guard, though he left open the possibility of using other elements of the military.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Trump told Fox News on Wednesday that Trump will launch his deportation operations on his first day in office.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Trump has said he will revive a plan he first enacted at the end of his first term that would allow him to easily fire nonpolitical civil servants and replace them with political appointees. Civilians working at the Pentagon would be among the bureaucrats at risk, with Trump’s campaign platform vowing to “overhaul federal departments and agencies, firing all of the corrupt actors in our National Security and Intelligence apparatus.”<\/p>\n

The 2024 GOP platform also promised that Republicans would “get woke Left-wing Democrats fired” from the military “as soon as possible” if they won the election. And when asked at a rally in October about creating a commission to root out “woke” generals and policies, Trump backed the idea. The rallygoer who asked Trump about the commission was former Space Force officer Matthew Lohmeier, who was fired after claiming on a podcast that Marxist ideologies were infiltrating the military, and Trump at the rally also agreed to appoint Lohmeier to the commission.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
