Joint Chiefs Chair Says No Change in Transgender Policy

[mudwhistle]

It sounds as if they're just waiting for their marching orders. This is the Pentagon. They say Yes Sir.

not with 15,000 active duty transgendered troops,.

so I disagree.... I think this is where they take the orange one to the woodshed and do what they need to.

Of course you think that, you're a buffoon who doesn't understand how the chain of command works.

Oh....and you do? Tell us how a tweet is an official command.

Apparently a tweet is so serious it could cause Thermal Nuclear War.

I should have known you'd be one of those with reading comprehension problems over this.

OH yeah?

Well your butt smells like poop.

 

[bodecea]

Oh....and you do? Tell us how a tweet is an official command.

I never said it was did I?

You know damn well Trump has full control over the military. If he orders someone out of the military, they're out. End of discussion.

Oh...is that how it works? He tweets and they're gone?

Again you FAIL

I never mentioned Twitter. I said the following:

If Trump ORDERS someone out, they're out. Period.


YOU read "if Trump TWEETS they're out"

Seems it is YOU who has the reading comprehension problem.

And has that happened yet? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Do you see the word IF you stupid *****?

Serious reading comprehension problems!

Dear me....and now I've triggered you. Didn't know you'd go all snowflake on us when it came to the topic of trans people. I wonder why.

The topic is Trump & military control not trannys.

More comprehension fail.

You're pathetic

 

[pismoe]

They gonna go on strike or something?

you aren't very bright... troll boy.

I wish someone would stand up to him, in a big way. Just don't be too disappointed if this isn't the place it's going to happen.

I don't think you're right. they're not going to let the idiot destroy morale.

-------------------------------------------------- destroy Morale , this tranny acceptance policy was designed by mrobama to destroy MORALE . Do you really think that the backbone [ Southerner boys] of USA Military many or most who voted for Trump want to serve in the military with trannies Jillian ??

I'm sorry to hear that trans people frighten you so much.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peaceful , nonviolent trannies and other deviants are fine with me , mostly i don't know if people are trannies or deviants and just so long as they are peaceful , i don't care . Course , trannies and deviants shouldn't be allowed in USA Military so i back Trumps thinking on this Bodecea .

Still pretending eh? The issue is money and morale. But you know this because it's been stated a thousand times.

Well, we know that trans in the military don't frighten you. I say we cut off (cut off....*chuckle) all the military money towards Viagra too.....use it for trump's Operation Manhood Wall.

Money and morale. If, and it's a big if, viagra is widely used in the military, how much is it vs millions for tranny operations.

It's not up to them, I'm afraid. It is up to 'Mad-dog Mattis'.

"The Department of Defense declared Thursday there will be “no modifications to the current policy” on transgender service members for now, a day after President Trump issued a surprise three-tweet directive banning those troops from the military.

In a memo to service chiefs and commanders, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford, Jr. declared no changes to the policy until "the President’s direction has been received by the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary has issued implementation guidance" -- which has not yet happened."

Defense Department to Trump on transgender ban: Not so fast

Sounds to me like Mattis was simply "getting in front of it"

perhaps this will clarify reality for you:

"There will be “no modifications” to the military’s transgender policy as a result of President Donald Trump’s declared ban on transgender men and women on Twitter, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs said in a message to top military officers on Thursday -- the latest sign of the disarray following the commander-in-chief's abrupt announcement.

Marine Gen. Joe Dunford also wrote in the message, which was sent to the chiefs of the military branches and senior enlisted leaders, that the military will continue to “treat all of our personnel with respect.”

Now that's pretty much the kind of response I expected from you. You never disappoint....

It is reported in many of these links both partisans are throwing around that the Secretary of Defense has already ordered the military branches to conduct an assessment of the impact on the ability to wage war. President Trump's decision has neither been rejected or enforced.

Changes will not be made until the Sect of Defense hands down implementation guidance.

This is what we describe in the military as 'Stand by to stand by'...

Once the implementation guidance is given, assuming it eventually is given, such policy will still not be implemented immediately, immediately 'kicking' hundreds of current service members out.

 

[Crixus]

From simple minded folks come even simpler silliness. Do you not know what this means:

"until the President's direction has been received by the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary has issued implementation guidance."

Did you even read your own post?

No she doesn't. All she knows is TRUMP!!!

And most service memberships won't get kicked out either, thats just another leftwing wet dream.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Trump is CinC, he gets to decide military matters. He could make Obama wear a dress and serve if he wanted

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Why is it liberals are so easy to dupe?
This was a smart move by the President to get the media talking about yet another non-issue instead of talking about the GOP's failure to repeal and replace...which is really not a failure, I think we should have learned by now what rushing through massive legislation can do.
At any rate - the media fell for it again.
And so did all of you.

You need to realize that things happen but they are in no way related to anything you want or think.
