Biden reverses ban on transgender people in military
Mercury News ^ | January 25, 2021 | AP

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden signed an order Monday reversing a Trump-era Pentagon policy that largely barred transgender individuals from serving in the military.

The new order, which Biden signed in the Oval Office during a meeting with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, overturns a ban ordered by President Donald Trump in a tweet during his first year in office. It immediately prohibits any service member from being forced out of the military on the basis of gender identity.

The decision comes as Biden plans to turn his attention to equity issues that he believes continue to shadow nearly all aspects of American life. Ahead of his inauguration, Biden’s transition team circulated a memo saying Biden planned to use his first full week as president “to advance equity and support communities of color and other underserved communities.”

...

“America is stronger, at home and around the world, when it is inclusive. The military is no exception,” the order says. “Allowing all qualified Americans to serve their country in uniform is better for the military and better for the country because an inclusive force is a more effective force. Simply put, it’s the right thing to do and is in our national interest.”

Oh, so now women are going to be forced to use the locker rooms with men?

That does not sound very inclusive. It sounds like a set-up for disaster.

The military is not a place for the mentally ill. It also is not a place for perverts. I think that just about covers anyone calling themselves “transgender.”

I agree. It pained me to write that.

Only by mobilizing everyone who wants to preserve what the United States was do we have a chance.

This is what was assessed by the military chiefs when they did their assessment and recommendation to Trump

He did not act unilaterally without input
Like Joe just did
With his new pet SecDef yes- man

You about sum up the main purposes why the push for this "enlightened" progressive (Malignant) policy.

Basically a tax funded mutilation program.

Barry O can now breathe easier, he’s no longer the worst president in history. Biden took over the title in 3 days.

Biden makes Obama look 1/4 competent.

Zero was right about this: Joe will always find a way to [expletive deleted] things up.”

I wish I could disagree. Some version of the strong delusion seems to have already begun.

Of course THE strong delusion is when people believe the Antichrist (substitute and false “messiah”) is an actual “messiah sent from god” - sent by the “god of this world” - 2 Corinthians 4:3-4.

Anytime you see the word “inclusive” it is a sure sign that massive BS is near.

20210125 - President Biden executive order:

“America is stronger, at home and around the world, when it is inclusive.

The military is no exception,” [the order says.]

“Allowing all qualified Americans to serve their country in uniform is better for the military and better for the country because an inclusive force is a more effective force.”

20230719 - tell that to the military recruiters, to communist China, to the Russians, to the socialist sabre rattlers, to OSCE, OECD, and NATO.
