The trans people do NOT meet the standards. Case closed.

Enlist, get $150,000 of surgery and pharmaceuticals, pause for the two years suggested for recovery, then get a good-conduct discharge.

Sounds like a plan. /s

Uh, they don’t meet the “standard” McCain. That’s the issue.

This is a political policy decision. Since it originated at the executive level under Obama, it needed to be reversed at the same level. So Trump's judgment is correct here. This also keeps Mattis and DoD apolitical as he's now just following policy directives set by his Commander-in-Chief.

Trump isn't afraid of the baying hounds of PC-dom, and his tweets have proven an effective tool for bypassing the media filter and communicating directly with the public. Nobody is now "confused" over what the president means or how his words should be interpreted. It's a simple, blunt decision and directive.

Given that there's no actual support for the Obama moves in this direction, just political posturing, I expect this to blow over very quickly. Trump can then move onto more "controversial" changes to remove women from special forces training programs, combat units, etc.

This is all about returning DoD to its core mission: winning wars.

It doesn’t matter to this inane goofball how much disruption these ‘transgender’ people are making for the military, or how much they interfere with morale and everyday operations, as long as it gives him a platform to scratch for a little more noteriety. John McCain is not an honorable man. Moreover, he is just a big jerk who wants to be noticed.

John McCain’s motive for returning to Wash DC is to help authenticate the Coup de Etat the CIA and globalists are planning against TRUMP......

Seriously, Trump needs to write another EO that nullifies Obama’s COG (Continuity of Government) EO that enables the taking down of the seated President.....

The military used to (not sure if they still do) deny entry for ADD meds, but are now ok with trannies. Makes sense to me. /sarc

Dog gone it, McCain is absolutely right!

And “transgender” does not meet those standards. Standards are both physical and mental. Crazy people need not apply.

There are 15,000 patriotic transgender Americans in the US military fighting for all of us.

No way. Maybe 15K gays "identifying" as the opposite sex but no way there are 15K people in the military that have gone through the surgery. To me a Trans is someone who has surgically changed then private parts. Any kook can identify as anything.

How many Republicans are going to run on this issue? If they do, they’ll lose in the primaries and general elections.

This latest stupidity by Juan is all part of the melodramatic swan song living inside of his cancerous brain. He’s probably already fantasizing nonstop about his “hero” funeral, what music they’ll play, what splendid things will be said about him, blah, blah, BLAH.

So what do you do about the trannies who change their minds from month to month, Juan, because there’s plenty of them? How is the military supposed to deal with the “fluid” transgenders, you dumb@ss? And who’s going to pay for their ridiculously expensive ELECTIVE surgeries, Juan? That’s right, the taxpayers will get stuck, not you! And what makes you think you know better than all the generals who are 100% behind President Trump on this?

Just shut up, Juan!!! Just shut your BIG FAT NASTY mouth and go home. You’re a mean, bitter, dying man spouting crazier and crazier thoughts. Shut up and go home. We don’t want you as our senator anymore.
