I know that Harry Truman (as C-I-C) used an Executive Order to desegregate military units back in 1948. Of course, at the time he did it to bypass Congress and the southern Democrats who would surely have opposed the effort. I’m just wondering why a future President could not claim similar authority to promulgate a policy designed to restore morale, combat readiness and unit cohesiveness, if (as I assume) this current social engineering experiment winds up damaging all of those things.
Well Truman was a Democrat. You know how that goes. And I think the modern Progressives (socialists) would have a cow and cause problems if a Republican/Conservative tried it. Too bad conservatives and Republicans aren’t as vocal as the loonies!
