looks like several states now are defying their commander in chief. Can they be court marshalled for defying President Trump?

USSC has ruled that the federal government exercises plenary power over the national guard. Trump can force these states to enforce the ban.

Let them pay for the surgery with state funds.

Well, the California, Nevada, and New Mexico National Guard can be federalized if necessary.

If these are officials that wear uniform, then they can be given less than honorable discharges and sent on their way.

“Maj. Gen. Matthew Beevers, the deputy adjutant general for the California National Guard, said the gender identity of his troops are the least of his concerns.

Every transgendered soldier or airmen currently serving in the California National Guard will remain in our ranks,” Beevers said. “Further, we will not treat any soldier or airmen any differently today, than we did yesterday.”

Sounds like Article 92 to me.

Misleading headline?

I understood Trump's transgender ban applicable GOING FORWARD and not to be applied to troops ALREADY in the guard!

Even 6 years ago, the thought of transgendered troops in the military would have been considered insanity.

How have we fallen so far, so fast

These states could set up a parallel state guard a sort of state “Scared Band” (See classical Greece Thebes!). Set their own standards, have their own uniforms, military occupation specialties, etc. The mind reels over the possibilities!

Yes, I would play hardball with these jerks. Same for sanctuary mayors and governors. No warnings. Just turn off the money and enjoy watching them piss and moan.

Much ado about nothing. Trump has already said no Trannies currently serving and able to deploy will be discharged. Just no more tranny recruitment.

FWIW, the military does not accept millions of people with type 2 diabetes as recruits either. This is not because Trump hates diabetics, it is because the military is not a great grand social experiment to make certain groups feel good and give them access to training and jobs which would be downright dangerous for those with certain physical (or mental) issues.

I sure hope so- We can’t have our military and national guard in open rebellion against their commander in chief

Lock up Maj. Gen. Matthew Beevers in a gay prison with a jar of KY.

They need to be sure that they have troops that will fire on the enemy when needed; dangerous people like Christians and conservatives.
