Yay, it is so refreshing to see a POTUS who supports the military again.

If someone has the actual draft order, could you please link it?
Edit: Found it.

Or at least that's part of what went into it. Still looking for the full draft.
COL Charles Williams Sir, do you have a link to the actual Order? I'd like to read it before commenting further.

Read the draft of the executive order on CIA 'black sites'
A three-page draft of the executive order titled "Detention and Interrogation of Enemy Combatants" shows the Trump administration is seeking to review whether prisons outside the United States should be reopened.

Hey look, I found it!
Now, I urge everyone to take a look for themselves and see what it says - but, in case you're too busy, here's the short version:
1. It directs the military to do a readiness assessment and determine what it needs to be more ready.
2. It empowers the President and Sec Def to decide how to make the military more ready.
3. It directs the military to assess how to update our nuclear arsenal to be more modern.
What is doesn't do:
1. Talk about pay raises for anyone.
2. Talk about more money going to the military for anything.
3. Talk about making the military larger (or smaller).
