Does POTUS have control over these people or what? How many have to come out against him publicly or go against his policy.

But I’m sure he was say something dramatic and tough sounding. Something even mean enough sounding to become a meme!

The trannies are here to stay in the military. Trump will stop enlistments, the current ones will stay and the next POTUS will allow them to enlist again. The careerists just are not interested in fighting the homo lobby. Too much money to be made I guess.

Folks really need to take a deep breath. Undoing the mess of the last 8 years (or more) isn’t happening overnight. There is a lot of deep state and Obama hold over riff-raff to clear out and changes like these don’t come without legal issues that need to be resolved before actions that affect peoples lives take place.

The article says that a review process for how to handle those that are already there is in process. Let the people who have been charged with executing this figure out the best way to do so.

This is just the way the military works and it is also the best way to ensure that the next President does not simply overturn the ruling.

Mattis will now do a serious and exhaustive study of the ability of transgenders to deploy at peak combat efficiency and to maintain that peak efficiency when supply lines for hormone treatments are cut.

He will then rule accordingly.

Its a paraphrase. He’s famous for that quote. “I didn’t bring artillery, I’m pleading with you with tears in my eyes, if you “F” with me ill kill you all”.

Then of course, when SSGt Wuterich and his squad fought their way out of a near ambush IED in exactly that manner, he had them all arrested and used his influence to keep it going.

If they are incapable of deploying for any reason, they are given a honorable discharge, a pat on the back, and are given the respect they deserve as veterans.

That goes for single mothers in the military also. If you are pregnant, you are non-deployable. Honorable discharge, pat on the back, and respect for being a veteran.

In the military you are either a warfighter, or a burden.

I saw this first hand as a person that served 20+ years in the Army, Army National Guard, and Air National Guard.

For too long the military has been another level of welfare for certain people. (single mothers) The military exists for one reason only. If you can’t deploy with your unit, you are useless to the military. BTW, this applies to you National Guard technicians that have never deployed ever but take up all the senior ranks in a unit. yes ORANG I’m talking about you.

“changes like these don’t come without legal issues that need to be resolved before actions that affect peoples lives take place.”

Funny, implementing it happened with an executive order stroke of the pen. I see no commitment to bold action. And I see the generals like Mattis doing everything they can to slow things down.

I remember the old days when a General would be utterly ashamed at having homos there in his force and would have acted swiftly at the first hint he could discharge them all COG. Trannies would have been mentally ill utterly depraved unthinkable.

Trump: In no capacity. Mattis: Continue serving. What is wrong with the President that he let’s his subordinates counterman his orders across the board???? He never drained the swamp and now it threatens to drown his presidency.

Mattis is the guy Trump held up during the campaign to show how tough he was going to be, this no nonsense Marine would bring a new day back to the Pentagon. BS.

Every decision comes with a staff study.

Pentagon 101.
