Navy, Marines Ease Up on Transgender Policy

The Navy and Marine Corps have joined the Army and Air Force in making it harder to discharge transgender military members.

Navy Secretary Ray Mabus signed a memorandum last Wednesday stating, "Effective immediately, separations initiated under the provisions of the reference for service members with a diagnosis or history of gender dysphoria, who identify themselves as transgender, or who have taken steps to externalize the condition, must be forwarded to the assistant secretary of the Navy (manpower and reserve affairs) for decision."

The memo was directed to the chief of naval operations and commandant of the Marine Corps.

Previously, discharge could be initiated by unit commanders.

I agree with both of you.

The left wants to destroy the military, they hate it, all their pro-military blather notwithstanding. They would rather see that money going to their comically useless, tragically destructive, and the unconstitutional liberal social programs.

I despise all of them with a passion.

And we are going to pay in blood and defeat. Damn all of them to hell.

My son is friends with a Marine LCp who was deploying, and got NJP’d for making a Navy petty officer cry. What a world.

Yep. Imagine being in a foxhole with a tranny, who suddenly needs to discuss its feelings about its genitalia.
The military is cost cutting, laying off 40,000 warriors. At the same time spending millions on publicity to actively recruit a few good ...whatevers.

We are going to be so screwed when the next shooting war arrives.

And it will arrive.

Relax. Bruce Jenner can just throw his spikey heel at Putin, China and ISIS.
