LONDON — Four senior retired U.S. military officers on Tuesday blasted a legal ruling backing President Donald Trump's ban on transgender individuals serving in the armed forces as "wrong" ahead of a key decision from the country's top court on Friday.
The officers said a ruling last week by a Washington appeals court in favor of a ban on transgender recruits was misguided and backed an earlier decision that such a policy would violate their constitutional rights.
"The D.C. Court of Appeals made an error when it lifted one of the injunctions that protect transgender members of our military," said retired officers Lieutenant General Claudia Kennedy, Rear Admiral John Hutson, Major General Gale Pollock and Brigadier General Clara Adams-Ender.
"The need for an injunction protecting transgender people who serve their country remains precisely the same," they said in a joint statement obtained exclusively by the Thomson Reuters Foundation...

These are Deep Staters. Good thing they are no longer in the military. I don’t care that they are retired military. I have o respect for them.
Were the reports that Mattis was pro-tranny not true?
Thank heaven these aholes are EX military!
The Butt Pirate and The Cabin Boy.
Good thing they’re retired. Too bad they still get plenty of tax payer money

3 females and one REAR Admiral.
Mattis opposed the tranny ban. One reason he’s gone.
They appear to have been true.
Claudia Kennedy.. again.
Those guys sold their souls to the left.
Obama butt girls, and boy.
Must have impacted "date night".
What they meant was retired, democrat generals. They are partisan and were when they were on active duty.

Taken over? These characters are retired. And they are defying rules. They are not allowed to go against the cic
It was Clinton’s long term goal when he implemented “Don’t ask, don’t tell.” The idea was to get gays into the military without kicking them out, then to declare it okay to be gay openly. Clinton’s plan worked perfectly. Now we have “transgendered”, along with their physical and mental issues, who can join and burden the military health care system, not to mention the effects on morale.
I’m retired military too. I say to hell with the mentally ill folks known as trans. Sorry, have your bizzaro world delusion somewhere else other than the military. Try Hollywood.
O6 and above make serious retirement money. I would be golfing and living at a gated golfing community. Maybe some fishing on the side.
But after a career of being a coddled pain in the arse of the personnel who actually get the job done, perhaps they feel at a loss for that “value” they invented for the sole purpose of padding their OER’s.
Rose to their rank by shameless bootlicking.
They are only defying the rules, if someone enforces it. So far, no one has.
