Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is expected to recommend to President Trump that transgender people can serve in the U.S. military if they can deploy overseas, a U.S. official with knowledge of the secretarys thinking on the issue told Fox News Thursday.
The official said Mattis did not want to go against recent federal court orders which ruled Trumps proposed ban on transgender people serving in the military is unlawful.

For all practical purposes, Obama is still the president. And don’t blame Mattis he, he didn’t appoint himself.

What do you think about this, LS? At this point I trust NO news articles; cherry picking is the least of it. If Mattis actually said this, I am hoping that they will find that transpervs can't be deployed overseas...
I see Fox references the WaPo (a much longer and more detailed article) which I trust less than I trust my cat's litter box; plus there is this sentence in the Fox article which might create an out: "oh no, the poor transpervs can't deploy overseas for 12 months", at least I hope so.
Officials tell Fox News that Mattis' thinking has also been shaped by his recently announced policy that any service member unable to deploy with his or her unit for more than 12 months must leave the military.

Muslims and transgenders don’t bother him.
Such are his words.

Direct quote in context would be useful.
Of course PERSONALLY, they probably don’t bother him in the sense of “upsetting” him.

“Mad dog” turns into a wimpy lap dog for the left. What a bunch of crap. Look at the history of the Janissaries if you have time, a lot of similarities.

Very disappointed in Mattis. I thought he would put a stop to this transgender nonesense, gays serving, and women in combat units but it looks like its full steam ahead on destroying our military.
To: pboyington
Yes, but we’re finishing up the Olympic games with both a men’s AND women’s team. Gross hypocrisy!

The mentally ill do not belong in the military.
If you reject your own biological reality, you are unfit to serve.
