It’s not backing down, it’s finding a viable path thru a legal minefield. Without such phrasing, the whole category gets to stay as a matter of “discrimination” and the policy fails. With such phrasing, objective realities are sensibly applied and the consequences accepted as valid reality.
Agree. But I believe strongly that President Trump is definitely being advised behind the scenes.
Probably fast-tracked for promotions
There is a strong possibility that the involvement of the courts is desired.
A SCOTUS ruling that there is no such thing as a transgender special right and if undeployable they are not qualified to serve puts the issue to rest.
You guys are right. Thank you.
It'll be some discrimination cr** and since the offended party caused the problem and lost nothing, it will go no where.
When I was in, any condition that made you permanently non-deployable was grounds for discharge. With manning levels at their all-time lowest in the history of the AF this is a critical issue. If you happen to be in a small career field and there are only a few of you on base and one is non-deployable, the other one or two people have to deploy more often. Instead of being away from home for 6 months a year, you end up being gone for 9 months a year. It’s not fair to the rest of the force to have a special class of people who don’t have to follow the same rules.
Come on, lets get the real number. Thinking not thousands.
Thousands? Really? We have sunk that low as a Nation that we have Thousands of people serving in the military that do not know if they are male or female? God help us!
“Nothing like reading the painful remorse of “men “discovering the reality of a lifetime of mangina stretching”
Somewhat comparable: “My Period and Me: A Trans Guy’s Guide to Menstruation”.
I would question ‘thousands’ as well. You might be up into the 400 to 500 level if you gaze across the entire military. If this were a order on gays only...it’d be a higher number like they suggest, but it’s not.
Ping.
You can bet that with Obama as CIC for the past 8 years, they have been giving the highest priority to recruiting trannies, gays, insane people, Jihadists and anyone else they could dredge up. Degrading our military was a strategic priority for Obama from the start.
Its going to take some work to get things back to where they should be.
Yes! It is actually causing more stress on those who are deployable!
Absolutely not “thousands”. That’s a media lie. It’s in the hundreds.
I would like an actual count of the number of ‘transgender’ people.
I bet it is actually very few, not “thousands”.
Doesn’t “Commander-In-Chief” neutralize any court ruling on military matters?
They’re all on hormone therapy and junk and that is why they are nondeployable.
-—Doesn’t “Commander-In-Chief” neutralize any court ruling on military matters?-—
Hmmm.... I really don’t know
But I’m certain that such a rule would not stop a communist judge from issuing an injunction
Thousands?? are there really that many in there??
...
My guess is they flocked to the military for free treatment, not to serve.
