I received a letter from a known but confidential source in the naval service who asked me to inform the command structure in Washington about the damaging effects of these policies:
As part of the policy, CO’s must facilitate the requests of individuals for transgender treatment (surgery, cross-hormonal therapy, etc.)…. [O]nce the service member is considered “stable” in their preferred gender, and their “gender marker” is changed in a DoD database, they must be accommodated in the berthing and bathroom facilities of their preferred gender regardless of whether they still possess their opposite sex anatomy! (And most are expected to do so). Given the close living quarters that most military members have to share, this is particularly distressing to many of us, especially women.
These policies will ultimately undermine recruitment and retention.
Secretary Mattis must consider the many complex ramifications of these Obama-era policies that remain in effect. The DOD and the Congress need to ensure the priorities of the U.S. armed forces remain those that the Secretary has outlined: mission readiness, command proficiency, and combat effectiveness. Holdover personnel from the Obama Administration need to focus on these new priorities, and not on the last Administration’s social engineering projects that ignore military readiness.

Trump era ROE = “kill people & break sh!+, all else is BS”
This is significant. The military is not a laboratory for social experimentation, it has a dedicated purpose.
If they are not out making noise, killing people, breaking things and scaring potential enemies into conformity, then what ARE they for? We might as well choose up debate teams for wussified college campuses.
Unforgettable Hack!!!!!!!!!!
He is missed.

Yes, he definitely is missed....

Semper POTUS TRUMP!
Trump...if we can keep him!

Amen, General Mattis.
Carrying a radio in Vietnam made you a mobile aiming stake. that’s why the platoon leader made the radio guy stay at least 15 meters away. /s
Good that he wants to focus on the military, but he needs to lose the PC term, War-Fighting and get back to calling it Combat like it should be.
Slightly smaller radio this time around. And it was very dark where we were. So no need to be that far back.
Although I am old enough to remember, and have used the PRC-77.
The goal of the US military is to kill our enemies, and break their shit with ruthless efficiency.
Anything less is completely unacceptable to the American soldier and the American people.
Good that he wants to focus on the military...
Couldn’t agree more...
Yes, that would do it! Problem would take care of itself because only the fittest would remain. And if a woman can do all that, all the power to her. Issue her an M-16 and get her to the front lines.

Oh, the mission? Never mind the mission. That's somebody else's problem. Those who respect the mission tend to respect the people trying to accomplish it; those interested in something else such as self-aggrandizement - Hillary, 0bama - tend not to.
