I would not kick out any of the transgender people in the military but I would require they be honorably discharged upon finishing their tours and not be allowed to re-up. Muster them all out when their tours are done.

I am not surprised thousands are in the military. It was a route to free surgery. That is quite a magnet.

That is an excellent suggestion. Great approach. But it will never happen...the uproar would be huge. “I’ve served honorably. Why can’t I re-up?”

So transgenders enlisted in the military for free gender “reassignment” and now they don’t get the medical benefit? LOL.

Thank goodness for this. this is THE LAST thing I want my tax dollars being spent on.

Where did anyone ever get the idea that the armed forces are a social welfare program?

Watch the lawsuit start flying just like when people who enlisted in the military had to go to war because they just enlisted for the educational benefits.

Trump’s tweet said “transgenders” couldn’t serve “in any capacity.” Mattis should tell them they have 72 hours to get their affairs in order because they’re being separated. Letting them hang around till their enlistment is up is not what the president directed and Mattis knows this. Back in the early 70s if somebody tested positive on a piss test for drugs, he was gone by Monday morning.
