Air Force Sending Teams to Make Sure Bases Are Following Executive Orders
Air Force Sending Teams to Make Sure Bases Are Following Executive Orders
March 18, 2025 | By Greg Hadley
The Department of the Air Force will send small teams to “validate” compliance with President Donald Trump’s executive orders. The groups will visit nine bases before the end of the month following direction from a Pentagon task force.
Since the beginning of his second term in January, Trump has issued a series of executive orders aimed at eliminating initiatives related to diversity, equity, and inclusion; “gender ideology,” and Critical Race Theory.

Like the Nazis and the Russians?
'Cause that'll be great.
Political Commissars.
I've been expecting this since the start. You have to find a sinecure for the balefully stupid, yet zealous sons and daughters of the Republican elites.
Although this administration with their trashing of everything that came before them strikes me as more Maoist than Soviet.

is a government that won't be around very long.

They probably screen the enforcers to find the authoritarian personalities, but I suspect a bunch of folks will be disgusted. I hope they are in the majority and will rise up against the enforcers. Or maybe just find ways to sabotage them.
