ASHEBORO, NC — Former President Donald Trump pledged to demand mass resignations of top military officials behind the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal and give “back pay” to service members fired for refusing COVID-19 vaccines should he return to the White House in January.

The Republican presidential nominee’s focused on his national security policies in his Asheboro, NC, stint – his second visit to the state in a week. He gave his remarks from behind bulletproof glass, which the Department of Defense and Secret Service ordered for all his outdoor events after he was nearly assassinated on July 13 in Butler, Pa.

Trump, 78, touched on issues related to Afghanistan, the war in Ukraine, Iran, “woke-ism” in the military and recruitment crisis facing the US armed services.

Sloppy title. "On day one" is a dangling participle. It does not mean the back pay is only for those who refused the vax on the first day. It means he would do an EO on day one.

And the Jan. 6 protesters. I’d award them a million bucks each. Taxpayers owe them that.

reinstating of loyal military sounds like a necessity for things that are coming...

My son had just received his honorable discharge from the Marines, when the airline in Tokyo at first didn’t want to allow him to fly back to the USA. Eventually they let him get on a plane.

He should demand all the DOJ and FBI and CIA assets involved in all the phony things from Russia to Ukraine resign.

I might agree with a million bucks for selective people imprisoned on bogus, illegal, trumped up DOJ charges. And, I would agree on various appropriate and common sense but far less remuneration for ALL survivors of the DOJ and FBI lefty lawbreaking personnel on January 6.

But, we are talking about “taxpayers” money here.

Technically we’re talking about magic money pulled out of thin air that taxpayers’ children and grandchildren will eventually be paying for.

He shouldn’t wait for resignations. If they are still in the military on January 21, then they should all be reduced in rank to E1 and summarily fired.

And if those fat slob Vindman brothers are still in uniform, they need to be in the brig or a weather station in the Arctic Circle.

Resignation is not enough. Firing squad at a bare minimum. On live TV.

He should court martial Joe Biden as Commander in Chief for cowardice in the face of the enemy.
