No transgender people to serve in military, Trump says

President Donald Trump says he will bar transgender individuals from serving "in any capacity" in the U.S. armed forces.

Trump said on Twitter Wednesday that after consulting with "Generals and military experts," that the government "will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military."

Trump added that "Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail."

Transgender service members have been able to serve openly in the military since last year, when former Defense Secretary Ash Carter ended the ban.

Military chiefs recently announced a delay on allowing transgender people from enlisting. But transgender troops are already serving openly in the military.

And another rather creative / outright lie of a headline.

When did Trump expressly say he would allow the mentally insane to put on a pink uniform ?

Delusional psychotics do not make good soldiers. Presumably many join up hoping the military will pay for their surgical mutilation.

You've got to hand it to Trump, he doesn't stand for a lot of the politically correct nonsense that pervades modern culture. Good for him.

Funny, but a couple of women who pretended to be men to fight in passed US wars are considered military heroes.

1. REVERSE COURSE

Trump: I’m Banning Transgender Recruits in the Military

Trump: I


So what is the REAL motive behind this change in his position??

Could it be in part to obliterate most of what Obama has one?? Or is it part of his own series of biases/ announcing such a major policy statement via Twitter is just about as low as he can go. He might think he is humiliating that group with his style of action.......but the only one he is humiliating is himself........ as this is about as UN presidential as he can get.

Twitter has its place.........but his morning tweets have more than one motive. Distraction from the investigation & a symptom of his mental state.

Trump's america is regressing into a socially backward state.

Is this Trump's secret plan to defeat ISIS?

Everyone who's not a progressive is discriminatory now?

That's a good working definition.

So many people are obsessed with the sex organs people have.

Seriously, get your minds out of the pants of people, FFS.

If they can do the job - which ISN'T just being a soldier, but doctor, field medic, driver, etc - then why the hell not? I doubt patients care if their doc is trans after all, so long as they save their lives.

Seriously, Eagle and Others, stop obsessing over c0ck and puzzy.
