This is really discouraging when some idiot judge can override the president on a matter of common sense. There is no good reason to allow gays in the military & plenty of reasons not to. This judge needs some intense fellowship in a dark alley especially where military matters are concerned. This is unbelievable! Why bother giving the president the title of Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces if he can be overridden in this manner? Does this particular judge even have any expertise as concerns the military?

"There is no good reason to allow gays in the military & plenty of reasons not to.”

I agree with you on that but at least with homosexuels, there's no more medical treatments to "keep them gay". They could serve(and did) without special medical care and expense so they didn't revert to their original gender.

It's a terrible thing for a traditional conservative to debate that homosexuels are "better suited" to the military than transgenders

It just illustrates how much ground we have lost in the "cultural war'
