Rebellion brewing among Guard commanders: Five states now seek to DEFY Trump’s transgender ban
The National Sentinel ^ | 5/6/19 | J. D. Heyes

Posted on 05/06/2019 12:19:40 PM PDT by SleeperCatcher

When former President Obama and a Democrat-controlled Congress repealed the 1990’s Clinton-era “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, enabling gays and lesbians to serve in the U.S. military by forbidding recruiters from inquiring about sexual orientation, the commanders of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard carried out the policy, no questions asked.

Then, during the final year of his presidency — when he wasn’t overseeing the “Spygate” operation — Obama signed an executive order lifting a military ban on transgender troops, the service branch commanders did the same thing: They received their orders from the commander-in-chief and carried them out.

Without question there were more than a few flag officers (one-star and above) who weren’t at all happy with the Democrats’ and Obama’s decisions — not because they are homophobes and bigots but because as professional military members, they were well aware of the threats to good order and discipline aberrant lifestyles can and do cause.

But they carried out their orders nonetheless.

Obey the orders or be removed from command. That simple.

Queers are mentally ill. We don’t need mentally ill soldiers, sailors or airmen.

Cool. Collect the names of the officers, and fire them.

Exactly... The Commander in Chief has given you a command... You either follow it, or resign your commission and face a likely court-marshal. Those are your only options. It’s not like you have a choice to do what you want... That sort of nonsense doesn’t exist in a military command structure.

At one time, that would have been done and an example set.

Is not disobeying orders a court martial offense?

Of course, the Fraud also SENT materiel and personnel to be captured/killed, or simply droned Americans he didn’t like.

“We are committed to ensuring that any eligible Citizen is permitted to serve, regardless of gender identification”

Isn’t eligibility determined by policy set by the CoC and chain of command? So they’re contradicting themselves, in addition to the CoC, by stating that they’re committed to protecting eligible citizens...in reference to a group of people that their superiors have deemed non-eligible.

#3: "Queers are mentally ill. We don’t need mentally ill soldiers, sailors or airmen."

Amen to that. Look at the damage Bradley Manning did.
