More than a dozen retired generals and admirals have signed a letter to President Trump thanking him for his announced policy to ban transgender people from the armed forces.
“We write today to express our gratitude to you for making the extremely courageous decision to reverse President [Barack] Obama’s transgender social experiment,” the conservative retired flag officers wrote. “There may be an enormous amount of vitriol directed at you for making this policy correction, but please know that overturning this policy may have done more in the long-term to save the culture and war-fighting capacity of the U.S. military than perhaps any other military policy you will adopt as president.”
After being pressed by social conservatives, Mr. Trump announced his decision on July 26 via his favorite communications mechanism — Twitter. It caught off guard Defense Secretary James Mattis and the top brass, who issued statements saying nothing would change until they received written White House orders.

Ruh Roh. Good thing they’re retired. ;-)
Now fix this:

These flag officers were most likely “retired” by Obama in the first place...
These retired flag officers just became the scourge of the trannie community. :-)
It’s a readiness issue, not an LGBT issue.
Period.
Well, if I break my ‘trannie’ how do I ask for a replacement ‘trannie’ with a ‘straight’ face? ;-)
This lowly former E-4 radioman thanks President Trump also.
Exactly.
Somebody else posted the question; Remember when blowing your tranny was immediately followed by a huge repair bill that was not anticipated.
You are 100% correct. When your sexuality becomes part of your rank and status in the Military there is no longer a focus on the mission! You never hear about the media reporting on a General or soldiers “hetrosexuality”. Usually, the only time you hear about a wife or children is when they have died in the line of duty.
4 wheelin’ can be tough on trannies.
Barack Obama did not want the U.S. military to be powerful. He wanted it weak.
So true, what a pathetic CinC he was.
How many of these “retired” generals and admirals “volunteered” to retire under the Obama regime?
I suspect a large number were under relentless pressure because of “incorrect” opinions and half-hearted compliance with the social experimentation the military forces were being subjected to during the period 2009-2017.
“For now, the Obama policy remains: Transgender troops may openly serve and obtain medical benefits such as gender reassignment surgeries and other treatments.
A decision on whether to allow transgender recruits is pending after Mr. Mattis pushed a July 1 deadline to the end of the year. He ordered the services to study the current effect of transgender troops on readiness.”
I would suspect it’ll be pretty soon.
Maybe President Trump wants the activists to stew a little longer before the hatchet falls. :-)
Well, yeah, tweets ain’t exactly policy. So it is not insubordinate for the pentagon to leave things as they are until “official” policy is released.
This lowly E-5 Personnel Specialist is thankful that he didn't have to serve under such madness 45-50 years ago.
