The radical change was implemented in a heartbeat, but the undoing of that radical change is going to take half a year to “implement?”

But the Trump administration official was unable to answer questions about whether the estimated thousands of transgender service members currently serving~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Thousands???

It was an easy avenue to free surgery while getting paid and then the option to not reenlist so they could 'do their thing'.

Finally some basic common sense which of course goes against the religion of the left which is lunacy.

Did you see the Twitter feed of that freak last week calling for the overthrow of the USA by violence? A hardcore traitor who absolutely should have been executed by firing squad, instead the other traitor B.Hussien pardoned it and now it has gone back to trying to overthrow the US government. Isn’t it amazing how that is ignored by the media?

“I’ve served honorably. Why can’t I re-up?”

If I'm not mistaken, officers undergo a performance evaluation before reenlistment. While they may not be denied, the evaluation pretty much lets them know that future promotions will be unlikely and so they quietly retire......

I would not keep anyone who is critically reliant on medication, whether transgender, diabetic, or even serious blood pressure sufferers.

Nor would I accept for assignment or for PT testing, combat MOS, dress, living location, facilities use, or other standards anyone for anything other than their DNA gender identity

I would give those who enlisted under that brief Obama allowance period, the chance to exit military service under honorable conditions. Those who stay will understand and accept the return to the military’s original policies.

Fifty thousand dollars worth of free surgery AND a safe ‘stateside’ tour of duty... so they can be close to ‘their’ doctors.

Did the Pentagon force the military to accept strippers and whores (who FELT it was a 'mistake' they weren't BORN BEAUTIFUL) then give them a year or two of free plastic surgery costing $50,000+? During which time they couldn't serve overseas because they needed to be near their doctors?

Has that scam been played on the American taxpayer.

How many face lifts and nose jobs is the military doing for 'beauty's sake' on the taxpayers dime?

No parts for jets limited bullets and now this crap? Fire 'em all. Bye bye military parasites feeding off taxpayers...

He has turned off the magnet. I bet every one of these transgender individuals enlisted for the free surgery benefits.

Now, make all enlisted transgender serve their terms of enlistment in non-battle ready positions.

Push the mental illness aspect of this to one side for a second. This surgery sounds expensive.

But it will never happen...the uproar would be huge. “I’ve served honorably. Why can’t I re-up?”

There are already any number of reasons why a person who has served honorably cannot reenlist: too many people of that rank and military job specialty, been in the same rank past a certain time limit, too fat, can't pass their PT test, any number of medical reasons as well ...

It might only become an issue if the individual is in a critically-short job specialty. Then it may become difficult to justify ... however, if the regs are written in such a manner that it is labeled a medical disqualification, then that overrides pretty much all else.

There are no SJWs in a foxhole.

When your life is on the line the PC bullshit stops or you are much more likely to die.

That process is known as a bar to re-enlistment.

I would still build a 30 foot prefab concrete wall betwween those fenses with 5 foot section of those walls buried under ground and place live aligators in those ditches.
Make any MS-13 gang members who are caught help build the walls and used as live bait for demo purposes that those alligators are real.
