The recently confirmed secretary of the Navy says he will follow any order the president gives on transgender troops, but that any patriot should be allowed to serve.
We will process and take direction of a policy that is developed by the [Defense] secretary [with] direction from the president and march out smartly, Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer told reporters Thursday night after visiting Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia.
"On a fundamental basis, any patriot that wants to serve and meets all the requirements should be able to serve in our military"
Spencer was confirmed a week after President Trump tweeted that he plans to ban transgender people from serving in the military.

Any patriot? So anybody with the desire to serve out of love of country, should be allowed to do so with qualification of any kind.
Idiot. Another bad hire....
The Navy always seems to attract this type of person in leadership positions.
This transgender BS has never really been about patriotism as much as it is almost totally about having the military pay for all of their expensive medical treatment and “conversions”.
If you allowed the ones in right now to stay, but informed them that they would no longer receive any trans treatments or drugs then how many do you think would stay? My bet is less that .01%. If they are that patriotic then let them stay without special concessions, uniforms, or unneeded medical treatments that are not related to general health, combat injuries, or what any normal military male or female would receive.
Time to focus on military readiness for all members as they are biologically configured.
“withOUT” qualification...
Has any SecNav broken with the CIC in such a public way over ANY topic? EVER??
...
Remember his statements are being filtered through a crooked and corrupt media.
Time for a new SecNav.
Well Trump may not be able to keep McConnell and Ryan in line, keep in military commanders and his secretaries, should be a no-brainer. It will be interesting to see if Trump can keep his own house In order. So far, not promising.
Rum, Sodomy and the Lash.
These people are freakishly insane. They don’t need to be on a combat line—anywhere.
I guess it might be ok if they trans-muted into a torpedo or maybe a destroyer (you could shove the deck guns up there buns, but that probably wouldn’t be the worse thing they shoved). Would that work for you, Mr. Secretary?
FIRE THIS MORON
So does the Coast Guard admiral. I’m beginning to wonder if Trump as a public policy, no transgender’s, in a private one, as expressed by his commanders?
We are in the middle of a serious situation with North Korea threatening to send ICBMs toward Guam, and this is what the Secretary of the Navy makes public comments about?
No. Just no. The first requirement of a patriot should be that he is not insane.
—
The second requirement should be that they don’t tolerate the insane.
Dear President Trump - fire this idiot’s ass. There are too many people around these days who think THEY’RE the President instead of the President.
Should a patriot who is blind be allowed to drive a tank?
Brad Manning was a treasonous bitch and it is offensive for taxpayers to fund his sex fantasies.
A patriot puts the Constitution and Republic first in terms of service and swearing to protect and defend that Constitution and Republic; which by the way serves to protect the right of every citizen to worship as they please and follow any denomination they choose.
Belief in God and in particular in specific denominations is a personal choice. Whether one follows a particular denomination or not has no bearing on being patriotic and serving one’s country.
Well, he knows he won’t have to worry about anything but the fact that at any given time, most of his women sailors are pregnant.
Any kind of emo is problematic in basic training. Basic is for weeding them out. Now they get engraved invitations and tine-out cards.
