15 attorneys general oppose Trump transgender military ban

Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey is leading a group of 15 Democratic attorneys general in opposing President Donald Trump’s administration’s plan to bar transgender individuals from openly serving in the military.

The group filed a brief Monday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia arguing that banning transgender individuals from the military is unconstitutional and against the interest of national defense and that it harms the transgender community. “Our military should be open to every brave American who volunteers to serve,” Healey said.

In the brief, the attorneys general argue that “nothing about being transgender inhibits a person’s ability to serve in the military or otherwise contribute to society.” […]

The brief supports a lawsuit filed in August by The National Center for Lesbian Rights and GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders on behalf of eight transgender individuals, including members of the Air Force, Coast Guard and the Army, as well as students at the U.S. Naval Academy and in the ROTC program at the University of New Haven. …

I guess trying to recruit people isn’t as easy as they want us to believe? Are people really signing up to defend the country, or just to have the Gov’t pay for their big boobs or sex change? I guess if they wanted a burst of recruitment, they can perform penis enlargement. Sign up for an inch a year. (Yeah, yeah, some of you will not get a discount for all those extra inches you will claim as a base.) Bring back those pre PC drill Sgts, and the draft, they will change it all over night. This business of offering cosmetic surgery to get people to join is total BS if it isn’t fake news. Who the hell started this BS? We don’t need this new Army, we need the old brown shoe back.

How many of those 14 are veterans? Every brave American should be able to serve? Blind, lame, those with cancer, ceberal palsy, dementia, 75 years old, etc? How fu**** stupid. Typical lunatic leftists.

“15 Democratic attorneys general “

All Democrats. Not a surprise.

As someone said, if Trump walked on water, Democrats would criticize him, that he is doing that because he can’t swim.

Democrats being against Trump is not surprising.

“Our military should be open to every brave American who volunteers to serve,” Healey said.

NOT ONE MORE Bradley Manning, Nidal Hassan, or Bowe Bergdahl should be tolerated in the ranks. Murderous traitors all.

Let one of those attorney generals get elected president, then he or she can make policy when he or she is Commander in Chief.

Until then, tough.

I’m willing to bet these AG’s are flaming gays or confused transgendered freaks.

Clearly they are clueless re: the missions and prime responsibilities of the armed services.

I was thinking US District Attorneys. I should have paid more attention. Thanks for catching my error.

Screw the Generals, how about we ask the young men who ACTUALLY do all the fighting? And yes, I said “men”....

I remember when tail hook happened and the Navy did sexual harassment training. We learned in the training that you are guilty if the woman perceives sexual harassment regardless of your intentions or how innocent the interaction was.

As the training showed, these interactions included ones related to your job such as simply assigning watch duties to someone even if you hadn’t ever interacted with the person directly.

We were thankful no women served on combat ships but then Bush put all combat ships into shipyards for refits to accommodate women onboard and began to assign them to combat ships.

Many retired early after that.
