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.

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).

Join nearly 2 million former and current members of the US military, just like you.
