Biden: No question transgender people can serve in military
Fox News ^ | October 04, 2015 | Associated Press

Vice President Joe Biden is throwing his unequivocal support behind letting transgender people serve openly in the U.S. military, as the Obama administration considers whether and when to lift the longstanding ban.

Biden's declaration at the Human Rights Campaign's annual dinner Saturday goes further than anything the Obama administration has said before, evoking memories of when Biden outpaced President Barack Obama in endorsing gay marriage. Although the White House says Obama supports a Pentagon review aimed at ending the transgender ban, neither Obama nor the military has said definitively that the policy will be changed.

"No longer is there any question transgender people are able to serve in the United States military," Biden told a crowd of 3,000 gay rights activists at the group's star-studded gala.

BUF-FOON! Daddy, a WWII combat veteran, said that they had
some homosexuals in their outfit when they mustered in; but
as far as he knew, most of them couldn’t make it through
basic. The MEN in his outfit didn’t have time for foolishness; they were setting their faces toward Germany
and ramming it down Hitler’s throat. Anything less and
they knew death for themselves was likely; SO they, as
Patton suggested, decided to make the other dam* SOB’s die
for THEIR country instead. - He would have, as an experienced combat soldier, had to eventually land on the
shores of Japan. He NEVER second-guessed Truman on his
decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan. Don’t let
anybody yank your chain on that topic.

Why is it still called the “military?”

“Why is it still called the “military?””

Because Hillary Clinton has not yet been installed as the new Commander-in-Chief, when she can then re-designate it as the Hilitary.

What's the problem?

Aren't you less likely to set off a land mine with a high heel than a combat boot? The footprint is smaller.

Need a diversion for fire and maneuver?

Not as many as Trump or Cheney got unfortunately. We have no room to talk with our leaders being chickenshit to go.

I like Trump but I call em like I see em. Trump was a draft-dodger too, but I don’t he think had to plagerize others work to make it out of college. Biden was a nitwit back then and still is.
