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 its 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 Pentagons 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.

This country was taken over without any blood shed. It was a silent coup.
Public schools are Satan’s American masterpiece.
“Is there even a Section 8 discharge anymore? What do you have to do to get one?”
Vote for Trump.
To #17: You’ve hit on something I’ve felt strongly about for decades (esp. since my late father-in-law,WW2 Pacific Campaigns including Iwo, was a Lt.Col. who turned down a Brigadier General rank to finally be with a sick wife and his children).
TRUMP should state NOW, that he will fire every ranking military leader who supported this tranny policy as well as other morale-busting policies that emasculated, feminized and neutered our armed forces.
This would also include a reduction in rank by one grade for “conduct deleterious to the morale and performance of our military”. I know that the President can block a nomination up a rank, but I do not know if he can reduce a rank for misconduct.
Let the Obama cowards pay for it. I remember when Gen. John Singlaub told Pres. Carter to his face that if we withdrew most of our troops from So. Korea, it would lead to a No. Korean invasion. He was fired for it. (John was a friend of mine, an OSS legend from WW2,established SOSG in Indochina, and fought the Marxists, including Sen. John Kerry and the Christic Institute, over support for the Sandinistas).
His successor for the Korean Command, Gen. Vessey, told Carter the same thing and was forced to resign. Our troops never were pulled out and there was no war.
Ashton Carter should be fired ASAP by Pres. Trump and given a new “Quacker Factory dress” for his troubles. The same for most of the other so-called military leaders. They can then play “military dress up with real dresses” in their forced retirement.
Just heard Secy of Dept. of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson being taken to the woodshed for his gross incompetence as a leader of DHS for their scrubbing of key identifying words in intelligence documents and directives (Jihad, Islamic terrorist, etc). Sen. Ted Cruz read this clown the riot act.
You have got to get a transcript of it.
Jeh Johnson was a JAG officer who was proud of signing off on drone strike authorizations (there were no JAGS with my son’s Engineering company in Iraq when they took on the remnants of the Republican Guard and Saddam’s “fedeyeen” terrorists).
Now, I have no problem with Johnson being a JAG officer working on the drone strike program. Hopefully he did a good job.
However, in his rise through the government, re his qualifications concerning internal security, he turned out to be NOT an Affirmative Action Failure (AAF), but an An Affirmative Success (AAS).
For his failures at DHS, like Obama, he can say, “Yes I did”!
This just disgusts me to no end. And I’m Retired Army.
Good Lord! I thought life SUCKED when I served under Clinton! (SIC)
WHY do we cater to this TINY portion of our society?
WHO BENEFITS FROM THIS? A .03% voting base for the Dems?
Aarrgghhh!
So instead of the military being about readiness, it’s all about how they dress?
The world just got a whole lot stupider.....and more dangerous. I can hardly wait till ISIS gets ahold of one of these nutjobs!
Be straight.
Trump can ask, what other country is doing this?
Why are we doing this?
Is this in the interest of national defense?
Why is Obama so obsessed with sexual deviants?
I’m with you. I was in the USMC back in the late 70’s to early 80’s. We trained to take on a motivated, all male enemy. This is intentional weakening our military.
She da MAN!!
Because he are one.
This is flat out disgusting. Our military under this Muzzie on the down low Obama has become the joke of the world.
The Marines no longer can say infantryman, mortarman etc. This is past ridiculous. I promise that not a single man who ever commanded either a marine or army rifle company in combat was consulted prior to this idiotic ill advised policy change. Rifle companies have time for very little BS as it is weapons training, squad tactics, platoon tactics, mortar training, arty fire adjustment, radio procedures, map reading, claymores, plus so much more. I took the first company I had in 68 and we trained some 100 montagnards and zeroed their M-16’s. We got everyone qualified in 4-5 hours on the ARVN range in downtown Ban Me Thout. Next we trained them on LAWS as one of our top scroungers got a flatbed full of cases of LAWS. After it was claymores. American units do not have the efficiency in the bush/local AO’s that the enemy has as he knows the terrain and people. No more monkey wrenches are needed you Muslim Obama.
Isn’t one of the military secretaries a damn fag now?
Nothing funny bout this.
I hope for the same. What a CIC can arbitrarily on his own authority do to the military can just as easily be undone. I see no benefit for Trump to even discuss his feelings on this; telegraphing intentions is not prudent and would only detract from winning election. Imagine if Obama stated up front his intentions to pervert and degrade the military...
I hope Trump pursues with prejudice revoking ALL Obama's pajama boy perverted marxist social engineering policy changes beginning on day one!
JAG officer Jeh Johnson? Is reserve or NG? Even if he was RA or called up to AD then he is not qualified for either.
Apparently he was a regular JAGer signing off on drone strikes (where, I don’t know nor when. He didn’t specify it but it may be on his official biography).
I wouldn’t trust him to sign off on a colonscopy given his total ignorance of internal security/national security issues and problems.
He doesn’t impress me as being very knowledgeable about much, but then again, that is a favorable prerequisite for employment in the Obama insane asylum that is ruining (not running, except into the ground) America today.
He might be a nice guy but I wouldn’t trust him to run a dog pound.
Agree. I saw the first of many AA officers being sent back to college to complete degrees back in 70-72. There was still a war going on so it was damn rare to see an Infantry Captain then with only one tour in RVN in college then. Under the Officers Undergraduate Degree Completion Program (OUDCP) outstanding officers were chosen by their branch chief for two full years of college with salary, tuition, books and expenses paid.An officer under said program could go to any college he was accepted at. The majority of Infantry Officers selected had water walking OER’S, a silver star minimum, plus several had a DSC as this was an extremely rare program. I was in the field commanding the support center for the SF officers course when I applied to schools. I could not believe I had been selected as I had no big hero award plus was SF in RVN and before. Well, I was late on everything and I went to UNO Omaha. Omaha campus had other officers like advanced course grads, Maj’s, LTC’s etc. I was one of four Infantry CPT’s in that entire college on the program. One other man had a DSC and was one of two living from his platoon. The two blacks were MACV and both dated white girls plus went to the same advanced oourse at Benning afterwards with me . Both went to ROTC duty for advanced degrees after IOAC. I went to Korea.

sighhh, its like they forgot how Rome fell; faggotry took it over an it got overrun like a gay boy in a prison cell.
