Pretending these transgender goofballs are “normal” is big mistake. Biology and not social science should drive this.

Transgenderism mandates the conclusion that there are only two sexes, male and female. Otherwise, how would one know if the change they are making is correct? A male adding female appliances and chemistry might otherwise be just as unhappy and discontent in that role.

The whole thing is a dog’s breakfast.

“A Rand Corp. study commissioned by the Pentagon ahead of its 2016 policy change found that there were between 1,320 and 6,630 transgender service members .....”

What credibility, is due to a study which fails to even address the number of people involved?

1,320-6,630 is too large a range, for me to give the study any credibility.

What ranks are involved? How many years of service? What job skills involved?

God created man and woman. Has Mattis forgotten that.

Transgenderism is an abomination.

we'll have these so called transgenders join the service just to get the free chop job and hormones....JUST STOP IT ALREADY....

we can't afford this, let alone the price of "fixing" them when they decide that they want to go back to their old selves....

Those who are already serving honorably, whose mutilations and hormone enhancements are completed and whose mental illness does not affect their work and attention to duty should be left alone. All others should be discharged, and no new candidates should be considered.

That does it. What the hell is the matter with Mattis? Maybe he runs around in his wife’s negligee. Keep the perverts out of the military. Time for Mattis to go.

Obviously believes that mental illness is not deterrent for military service.

Mad Dog, my a$$!

No one has made that case in the Congress. That is why it’s complicated.

If he does, Trump should fire him. He's on the wrong team.

Allowing delusional faggots in the Military will make America weak, not great.

I suspect that the requirement for any soldier to be able to be deployed within 180 days will eliminate many transgenders.

From what I understand, these people going through tax payer funded treatments have up to 2 years of NOT being deployable, which conflicts with the recent proclamation that people have to be deployable or leave.

Disgusting Mattis knows this does not make the military readiness better.

So many of the general officers today are social liberals, more politicians than anything.

This is purposeful, those that are selected for stars are approved by Congress.

I wish we could all think about things for a while before we get our knickers in a twist.

Mattis’ new rule about being deployable goes to the heart of this issue.

He has court orders on this he has to follow, but he also realizes that “transitioning” takes longer than a year.

So, it you have already transitioned, and can be deployed, you are OK. But, no more operations at taxpayer expense because that takes someone out of the deployable category for more than a year. Go become a civilian and pay for your own perverted surgery.

Looks to me like we are stuck with some, and only some, of the ones we already have, but we don’t get any more — ever.

And, best of all it can be justified based on military necessity.

Sounds brilliant to me, so lets quit criticizing the man.

If you listen to Mattis’ confirmation hearings when he was grilled by democrats on transgenders he said he was not going into the new job looking to change things. When asked about homosexuals openly serving he said he didn’t care who adults slept with. Mattis is a social liberal and that’s why Obama liked him.

Which is why you have to nip things in the bud, because once liberals get their way, it’s very difficult to undo.

No, no you see first we give them six months to study it then they go job shopping to shut you down, then you can say, oh well the courts have ruled. Or at least that is how Terri said it worked.

Again, I don’t think it’s that, as much as he just simply doesn’t want to rock the boat.

That’s why elections have consequences....You let in a liberal, and they do damage that cannot be repaired.

On the other hand, all it takes is one liberal administration to undo all the good work the previous conservative administration did.

Zukunft couldn’t even keep quiet. He had to publicly contradict the commander-in-chief. And he kept his job.

And he kept his job. That is the problem right there, the General that said he would to refuse an unlawful order to make a nuclear strike is still there too. Of corse the weasel word unlawful order was used but I am having trouble figuring out how he would determine an unlawful order, since only the President can order a nuclear attack.

Won't keep them from being recruited now will it?

Complete sell out by Mattis and Trump should can him, but he won't.

But appointed by the CIC aren't they?
