Outstanding

[mairdie]

One only hopes. I would be respectfully polite, without pronouns, to someone transgender, but I do believe it’s a mental illness that should not be encouraged in the military. Our military has one purpose, and that’s to protect this country. Not to be a leading lite in social reform.

[V_TWIN]

‘medically discharged’

Well, it is a mental disorder.

[DesertRhino]

And he needs to immediately fire any commissioned officer that refuses to execute his order. Last time the joint chiefs slow walked it and the head of the coast guard outright refused the order.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The UK Mail and “Da Times” are both British toilet paper. What makes those boneheads think that the American military is any of their business? The doofuses need to worry about their own military.

[ZULU]

Good.

[jerod]

Well... There's always the Canadian or British army.

[BuchananBrigadeTrumpFan]

I may actually get tired of winning (no I won’t).

[yuleeyahoo]

Kick out the mentally ill and stop the forever wars and recruitment will soar.

[OKSooner]

Put them all on the same submarine. /s

[Vaduz]

It’s good to see sane in action.

[suasponte137]

Thank you. I always wonder how they wouldn’t let you in with flat feet, but for man that had their junk cut off, they basically have the equilivant of an open wound for the rest of their life, but that is medically acceptable

Stupid beyond belief

[ICE-FLYER]

As a retired 32 year service member who had a direct hand in the first time he considered this I say THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!

[Dan in Wichita]

Mentally ill individuals should not be in control of high-powered military weaponry. Good move, Mr. President.

[vivenne]

There are 15,000 transgenders in the military???

[albie]

My dad (27 years Army, WWll, Korea, Vietnam) used to say “the military’s job is to break shit and kill people. The End”

[cuban leaf]

Medically = mental illness

Maybe many of them can finally get the REAL treatment they need.

[Psalm 73]

You mean to tell there are 15,000 US service members who suffer from Gender Dysphoria?

You would have to have actively recruited for that specific mental illness to get numbers like that. Just damn.

[Carl Vehse]

I seriously doubt that there’re 15,000 transgender mental cases in the military, but however many there are should get a medical discharge anyway.

The bonus should be that any flag or other officer who fails to carry out the president’s order should be court-martialled and stripped of his rank.

[Antoninus]

If there are 15,000 trans people in the US military, that’s a terrible thing. It means they are using it to get free medical treatment.
