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.

Please explain what the difference is then between the two.
But would Joe stick his tongue in their ear?
Of course crazy uncle joe thinks that means a plug transplant.
I’d rather they recruited the mentally retarded.
How many deferments did chickenshit Vietnam draft-dodging coward Biden get? He knows nothing about the military and what it takes to win wars.
PRIVATE BIDEN!!! (sir yes sir!)
ARE YOU A PETER PUFFER?!? (sir no sir!)
ARE YOU A SWITCH-HITTER?!? (sir no sir!)
THEN WHY THE HELL DO YOU ADVOCATE IT?!?
[silence]
Oh good grief. Perhaps normal people will not want to live in the military with a collection of misfits. It appears that the destruction of our military with these weird social experiments is a goal of Democrats.
They want the draft back. That’s why they are creating conditions that will cause people to either leave or not join so they can argue that they need the draft to fill boots.
Well, somebody’s got to clean those latrines.
Now if we could only get any of the potential enemies arrayed against us to follow the same rules of recruitment...
While you are at it, they should all agree to abide with the same rules of engagement when entering combat.
Yeah, like this was Little League or something.
Armies make a great deal of noise, break things and KILL PEOPLE. That is their function. They are not a cage full of lab rats on which all kinds of experiments may be performed.
I think you’re right.
They’re working hard to start or maintain multiple wars/conflicts all around the world. Gotta have more boots on the ground, so...
I guess Rimshot thinks that their appearance on the battlefield will cause the enemy to laugh their asses off and not want to fight. He needs a Plan B.
Please, Hitlery has, shall we say, embraced the degenerates' cause in a way that neither Biden nor Sanders can do (and there are no other viable Demwit candidates).
Well DUH, Joe... they need someone to search for IEDs.
The United States has to now be the most ill led country in world history.
I really like the bib.
When, o’ when will this madness end??!?
It cannot — it must not continue.
Remember the Maine! Tippecanoe and Tyler, too!!
Full speed ahead!!
F*ck ‘em all!!!
Yeah, but in the rear!
