Great story, waiting for the real military order/policy to be generated and enacted.

Obama's Policy was on hold.....until Trump made his announcement.

Thank you President Trump.

RE:”Obama’s Policy was on hold.....until Trump made his announcement.Thank you President Trump. “

And the 24 House RINOs that demanded that the military pay for gender change procedures.

It’s like when you’re trying to fix an old crappy piece of furniture for the Nth time and finally realize it’s time to just toss the whole thing on the trash heap and burn it.

Bad ideas need to be burned, not just tinkered with.

"......said a senior Republican (Gay or transgendered) aide!"

Kick them out of serving as any Republican "aides!"

Gayness in DC fouls everything, making the country think everyone believes in the homosexual agenda!

We, the American people DO NOT!

And yet Charles Krauthammer - who everyone thinks is a genius because he talks low and is in a wheelchair - was saying last night that Trump's tweet came out of a chaotic nowhere and made no sense in its timing. Does he ever do any research before opening his mouth?

“moderate Republicans who felt the proposal was blatantly discriminatory”

There it is right there. Somebody is gonna have to explain to me how its “discriminatory”. Got a friend that couldn’t get into the service because he only had a GED and no high school diploma.

He probably agrees with the 25 liberal House Republicans who demanded the military pay for the changes and threatened to kill the defense bill by defeating the amendment to ban it.

[miss marmelstein]

Oh, yes, he made that perfectly clear last night.

That's discriminatory.

I think the Army takes GEDs

Thank you president Trump!!

Pray for the president!

Shoulda qualified, it was the Air Force and back in the 1980s.

Why would Republicans push back on this? Its not like they would alienate anyone who would have voted for them. This only alienates people who would vote for them.

Hmmmm....

[GregoTX]

Telling men to dress as men and women to dress as women is not anti-gay in any way. It is enforcing a dress code.

[Cen-Tejas]

I think this move demonstrates that Trump is maturing in office and gaining more confidence and becoming even less inclined to pay any attention to all the NOISE surrounding him 24/7.

[ichabod1]

Or his way of saying “*I* make the noise!”

[Ann Archy]

Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski and other RINOs will be saying...”Transgenders are COUNTING on these VERY EXPENSIVE operations, you can’t take it away from them”!!!

They represent the super state, which get's it's social morals from the North Eastern elite. They also control the airwaves, and so they have pushed these ideas on the rest of the nation as well.

Term limits might not solve the problem of our representatives doing what the North East Elite wants, but it would certainly put a dent in it.

[alloysteel]

The saga of Bradley/Chelsea Manning was the focus point that crystallized the thinking on how “transgenders” fit into the whole picture of military service.

High maintenance does not win wars, with the equipment or in the barracks. Especially if along with high maintenance, poor performance of assigned duties or outright sabotage of the mission proves the decision to recruit either the system or the person in the first place was misplaced trust.

And without trust in material and/or personnel, no military operation can operate effectively.

Not all states and districts that have elected Republicans are conservative.
