Trump signed an executive order in January banning DEI in the military in a move Hamadeh, who serves on both the House Armed Services Committee and House Veterans Affairs Committee, said will improve the military’s effectiveness.
“President Trump understands that victory, not virtue signaling, is the priority,” Hamadeh said. “By removing DEI and refocusing on warfighting, we are ensuring that our troops are prepared, our adversaries are deterred, and America remains strong.”
Fox News Digital previously reported that military recruitment appeared to be trending higher since Trump’s November victory, highlighted by the U.S. Army announcing that December 2024 was its most productive recruiting month in 15 years.
