President Trump Announces Sweeping Ban on All Transgender Military Service Members

"The U.S. Military doesn't conform to you, but you conform to it". Trump's decision on Transgender Americans is completely valid.

I loved it when the press discussed Obama making the decision to let transgenders in as "well thought out", suggesting that Trump's decision was not, thus it was invalid as commander-in-chief.

What's not well thought out is that the order isn't going to pass legal muster and is just going to be another failure for Trump.

So...where is the follow-through actual order to the DoD?

I don't think that transgenders should be in the military, nor should there be gays, nor should there be women.

When you are at war, the last thing you want distracting soldiers is sexual attractions to other soldiers. For example, who wants a jealous lover shooting their comrade in the back?

Incidentally, the sexual assault rates of women in the military is off the charts.

And who's fault is that? The women?

REALITY CHECK: Trump's initiative (assuming it is carried out) will not "ban" anyone from military service. It will merely require that people in the Military serve in the manner appropriate for their biological gender. If they have been pretending to be the other gender, the pretense will no longer be honored, and they will have to get a new wardrobe and possibly live elsewhere. NOBODY IS BEING BANNED OR THROWN OUT. It will be entirely up to the individual to either "straighten up" or get out. If they choose to leave the Service, it will be entirely their own choice, and not the choice of President Trump.

Why will no social medium acknowledge the fact that Trump's policy statement merely returns the military services to the policies that prevailed for the first 240-odd years of the republic, and revokes O'Bama-era social experimentation?

Trans airman SSgt Logan Ireland on Trump'sban: “I'd like to see them try to kick me out of my military."

Transgender airman: ‘I would like to see them try to kick me out of my military’

Why is this "airman" with typical Navy tattoos wearing Army camo and standing in front of an apparent Army vehicle?

Is the Air Force Times putting out fake news?

I am just having a hard time believing this person went to Air Force boot camp as as a female.
