I've said it once and I'll say it again. If the person meets the standard for the job they are training for, they have earned the right to serve. Once the bullets start flying, the only thing that matters to the person on your left and your right are you shooting back and do you have my back.

I cool with all that. But is it too muck too ask that prior to medical treatment that male soldiers that look like male soldiers, wear their uniforms appropriately. Meaning that male soldiers not wear female soldiers uniforms. I am not trying to be humorous in the lease. While in cami's there's no difference, but while in Alfa uniforms this could be a major distraction.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - I said nothing of the sort. I said, be it a man or a woman and prior to any surgery they should maintain the uniform issued. I don't want a male soldier that looks in all outward appearances to were the female uniform. Is that sole enough for you.

Serving in the military isn't a right. The military discriminates against people with certain levels of disability, discriminates based on age, discriminates based on medical conditions etc. I predict that the group has judge shopped. The lower court judge will say Trump can't ban transgender people. It will go to a superior court and the lower judges ruling will be upheld. Everybody will cheer. The case will reach the Supreme Court and the other judges will be overturned. The President is commander in chief. The offended groups and media will pout.

The president has wide authority in what he can do and who he can ban from service. There is a very valid argument to the current transgendered individuals and hope that if they are forced out there is an early retirement option at the least. I'd really like to read a good study (I've only read polarized and biased ones with clear agendas to date) showing exactly the linkage between mental health evaluations and deployability of the current transgendered troops.

Transgender activist wanted to become disabled under the ADA. Its something people like myself fought them over and their "inclusion" of us in their transgender illegal human experiment.

Court: Transgender people can sue under ADA
A U.S. court has ruled transgender people can sue under the Americans with Disabilities Act despite the law's exclusion of claims based on gender identity.

If you are disabled enough to sue under the ADA you are disabled enough to kick out of the military.
I think just being okay with being labelled with an umbrella like transgender then referring to yourself as being an umbrella term is enough grounds to kick them all out.
While Trump is at it I the openly LGB ones also!

While serving in the military is not a right, these people followed policy as set forth by the previous administration and they should not be punished for it. It would set a bad precedent for future policy changes and reversals. This is part of the problem with ruling by executive order instead of going through the legislative branch. If the ban would have been removed by law President Trump could do nothing to reinstate it. Instead, we are left with confusing onions and lawsuits which detract from the military's mission more than these people being part of the military.

The past president screwed up and turned some great things into a mess.
Yes he should have made the changes he did accept he should not have wrote lgbt labels into federal policy.
The second he did he junked science. He chose to pay back his deep pocket lgbt donors instead of looking at the professional literature.
Personally he lost my vote reelection because of it.
The professionally literature was moving away from using LGBT literature because they knew it was inaccurate and based on severely flawed research and major ethics and legal violations.
