Greg Steube Wants to End Pentagon’s Gender-Neutral Pronoun Requirement in Joint Personal Military Decoration Citations

This week, U.S. Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., brought out the “Preserve Military Recognition Act.”

The bill will “reverse the new Department of Defense Manual of Military Decorations and Awards rule requiring the use of a gender-neutral pronoun in military awards.”

Steube offered his reasons for the bill this week.

“The Department of Defense’s new rule is yet another example of the Biden administration infiltrating our military with leftist propaganda,” said Steube. “Attempting to wipe out any sign of gender as the men and women who honorably serve our country receive awards is insulting. The Biden administration’s liberal policies are to blame for our military recruitment and retention issues.”

“As of August 7, 2023, the Department of Defense Manual 1348.33, Volume 4 now requires the use of the gender-neutral pronoun ‘themself’ instead of ‘himself’ or ‘herself’ in joint personal military decoration citations of the Department of Defense. The rule applies to awards including: Defense Distinguished Service Medal (DDSM), Defense Superior Service Medal (DSSM), Defense Meritorious Service Medal (DMSM), Joint Service Commendation Medal (JSCM), Joint Service Achievement Medal (JSAM), and Joint Meritorious Unit Award (JMUA),” Steube’s office noted.

The bill was sent to the U.S. House Armed Services Committee. So far, there are no House co-sponsors and no companion measure over in the U.S. Senate. The bill is not expected to gain much momentum in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
