The Pentagon is moving to allow transgender people to serve openly in the military by early next year and end an outdated regulation that harms the armed forces, Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter said on Monday.
Pentagon officials are to spend the coming months working out the administrative and legal changes needed to remove one of the final barriers to all Americans serving in the military.
If realized, the plan would end what is seen as one of the last discriminatory rules about who can enlist or be commissioned in the American military. It would also be a tacit recognition that thousands of transgender people are already in uniform.

How Gay is this?
God help us.
Used to be section 8 got you out not into the military.
General Washington doing rpms in his grave.
God will destroy us.
So do transvestites get their very own distinctive uniforms?
The evil CIC will make use of these troubled people to put another nail in the military coffin.
Is this because Moochelle wants to join?
Doesn’t 0dingo realize that this gives the enemy more motivation to want to kill us? Oh wait, that’s the whole idea I guess.. to make us the laughing stock.
When the time comes the New Confederate States Army will not have faggots and trannys....
Nothing the military needs more than mentally ill people with serious life long medical issues.
Oh my goodness if the South had half the will that it had in 1861 it could just walk out today and dictate exactly where the border would run.
Prescient those South Park boys are/were - as I recall Mr. Garrison actually regretted his sex change operation and went back to being a man...am I remembering that correctly?
Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter can and should GO TO HELL!!!
I’m glad I Retired and am not serving in this ARMY. I will recommend that anyone thinking of joining should turn tail (cover their Ass) and RUN. If I was in the service now, I would QUIT.
Ah yes, that’s just what we need to strengthen our military.

Maybe we can kill the opposition by making their laugh themselves to death.
Well maybe now some “girls” can pass ranger school
That gets me too. The military is different than civilian life. The mission of our military is such that people who think they are a man trapped in a woman’s body, just may have issues which preclude them from being able to do the job.
Due to liberalism and politcal correctness!;we are not allowed to make judgements about whether someone has a condition n which precludes him/her from being able to carry out a military mission. Instead this is viewed through the liberal lens of being some sort of triumph for civil rights .
Mental illness is a huge program now. It is a growth industry from PTSD to PMS to ADHD to GLBT. And the Army does not accept a recruit who was on prescription Ritalin within the most recent 12 month period but it seems eager to accept all manner of high-maintenance perverts.
