Pentagon Ends Ban on Transgender Soldiers
Breitbart News ^ | June 30, 2016 | Staff

Posted on 06/30/2016 1:06:40 PM PDT by Enchante

The Pentagon announced Thursday that transgender people will be allowed to serve openly in the U.S. military, ending one of the last bans on service in the armed forces.

Saying it’s the right thing to do, Defense Secretary Ash Carter laid out a yearlong implementation plan declaring that “Americans who want to serve and can meet our standards should be afforded the opportunity to compete to do so.” ....

Under the new policy, by Oct. 1, transgender troops should be able to receive medical care and begin formally changing their gender identifications in the Pentagon’s personnel system.

And a year from now, he said, the military services will begin allowing transgender individuals to enlist, as long as they meet the required standards and have been stable in their identified gender for 18 months.

It’s clear that obama has managed to undermine the security of the nation in a great many ways, such that Russia and China, at least, are laughing their socks off.

Now he’s doing his level best to destroy America’s military, assisted by amoral Pentagon chair-polishers eager to safeguard their pensions.

I believe the representation of Xerxes as a tranny in the film "300" was a taunt to the Iranians. Now it has become reality for the US. You have to think that this is some form of poetic justice as seen by the Obama regime.

"And a year from now, he said, the military services will begin allowing transgender individuals to enlist"

Only if Hitlary is elected. But if Trump, he better put a stop to this willful destruction of troop morale.

*****will enlist in order to have their “transition” surgery etc. paid for.*****

I heard him say that. It was mixed in with those whose ‘gender identity’ had been stable for 18 months - then he said the military would pay for ‘transitioning’ for those already signed up.

Trans have no loyalty to the United States. Their loyalty all rests on their twisted sickness of the mind. Obama is single handedly attempting to wipe out 200+ years of tradition and excellence in our United States military with the single stroke of his pen. He did it without a shot being fired.

This is a very sad day indeed.

Perversion replaces honor under this vile order.

Boy, this will do wonders for unit cohesion.

Will they now speed transgenders thru OCS to show how great they are?

Fast forward a few years... “It appears the commanding officer who was transgendered, might have been fragged.”

Every day, EVERY STINKING DAY I am so danged glad that I retired when I did. I would have never been able to finish my career in the Army with this garbage now. I suffered under stinking commie Jimmuh Karter. He was bad enough. At least I had Ronald Reagan for eight wonderful years. Then Daddy Bush was my last suffering. I retired just after commie Klinton was sworn in. I am so glad, GLAD, that I am done, finished, retired, and living quietly out in the country. I don’t even watch the stinking commie new TV stations any more. Not even the sorry Fox news. I come here or other trust worthy conservative sites that I can find to read. Other wise I am dumb to what these slobs are doing.
