A Pentagon official tells The Associated Press that transgender people can enlist in the military beginning Jan. 1, despite President Donald Trump's opposition.
The new policy reflects growing legal pressure on the issue and the difficult hurdles the federal government would have to cross to enforce Trump's demand to ban transgender individuals from the military. Two federal courts already have ruled against the ban.
Potential transgender recruits will have to overcome a lengthy and strict set of physical, medical and mental conditions that make it possible, though difficult, for them to join the armed services.
Maj. David Eastburn says the enlistment of transgender recruits will start Jan. 1 and go on amid the legal battles. The Department of Defense also is studying the issue.

The major needs to be court martialed.
Kollar-Kotelly was nominated by President Bill Clinton on January 7, 1997, to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia vacated by Judge Harold H. Greene. She was confirmed by the United States Senate on March 20, 1997.
On October 30, 2017, Kollar-Kotelly blocked the enforcement of President Donald Trump's ban on transgender individuals from serving in the military.
What a bizzaro world.
In Colorado the courts convicted a baker of refusing to honor a same sex wedding in a state that didn’t recognize same sex marriages.
Gods in black dresses have been dictatng things tor awhile now.
“I call BS and Fake News”
How can you say that when it’s actually happening? Nothing fake about queers getting into our military, they are, and they have the courts support in so doing.
He needs to tell the Joint Chiefs they will not be allowed: “I am the CIC, not the courts.” Period. End of story.
“Maj. David Eastburn says the enlistment of transgender recruits will start Jan. 1 and go on amid the legal battles.”
A major gets to overrule the president and CIC?
"Why yes Stanislov, those are, but no need to worry"
"Why is that Stashi?"
Well Stanislov, those American troops appear to be the much ignored Pillow Biter Fighters that Barak Obama got started"
"Oh, I see....... Shall we ask them over for tea, Stashi?"
No Stanislov, they might later file claims we sexually harassed them and made them feel dirty sadness"
"Good point Stashi. But you watch too much CNN."
Enlisting people who reject their own biological reality is not good policy.
Mental illness has no place in the military.
You’d think that would be major insubordination and grounds for immediate court-martial, wouldn’t you?
Maj. David Eastburn says the enlistment of transgender recruits will start Jan. 1 and go on amid the legal battles. The Department of Defense also is studying the issue. legal battles are NOT your problem... you are CHOOSING to enlist mentally ill freaks into the service and you should be brought up on charges!
I’m not a veteran, but no, hell no ! Enough of this BS.
Does that not open the door for individuals with other mental illnesses?
Fake news these days is any level of news that quite possibly is true but doesn’t fit our own narrative. It’s akin to an Obama supporter holding their fingers to their ears, closing their eyes and yelling “lalalala I can’t hear you!”
>>Who is in charge?
The courts, it would appear.
Hey, they would be good for those classified experiments the military likes to carry out. Regular troops today are too specialized and valuable to risk their effectiveness by putting them on experimental medications or behavior programming, or depleted uranium in their socks, or anthrax in their foot powder, or testing new nerve gas antidotes.
So, let's take her out and see how well she runs the Tank Tables ...

But they cannot expect any special treatment for their transgenderism.
Including every dollar of related medical expenses to be paid for by the member, or the member without the member, whatever.
Same as with all elective medical procedures.
So the courts run our military now? If true, WE ARE DOOMED AND WILL NEVER WIN ANOTHER WAR.
No, ticket punching military careerists worried about the next Democrat admin run our military. There is no price for opposing POTUS so they don’t follow his orders. What terrifies them is the goosestepping proggies who will happily destroy them.
