Half of his actions in the past week, especially in the past couple of days, have done things to weaken the U.S. military. It can't all be accidental. There's too much.
Most of his orders have boiled down to "report to the President in X weeks" the biggest one is probably the transgender ban. Which, while it sucks, isn't going to affect enough service members to meaningfully impact the military. So there's a lot of virtue signaling but not much movement in the EOs for the military.
The biggest actual thing has been interrupting the training cycles of the light infantry divisions with Warning Orders for a large deployment to the Southern Border. He managed to interrupt the 101st, 10th, and 82nd. Which is ridiculously bad management.
Sure, nothing has happened yet, but I think you need to look at all the cuts that are planned. Not just weapons systems and ships, although those are on the chopping block, but also commissaries and even on-base schools.
I could see him closing schools but the commissaries and exchanges are run by a private company. I doubt he's going to after AAFES.
I'm afraid it's already in the works. I can't find a summary of the details really well except this Reddit thread which also links to a long document which includes that.
