“Trans people weren’t allowed in.”
The January/February 2019 issue of the Smithsonian magazine has an article about transgender soldiers. Some transgenders (or wannabes) undoubtedly have served over the years. Others joined after Secretary of Defense, Ash Carter, lifted the ban on transgenders openly serving in the military in June 2016 but before Trump issued an executive order barring transgenders from enlisting.
I understand the order and women still in combat arms is a huge disappointment to me as a retired Army Field Grade Officer. It seems like a pipe dream to get the homosexuals out too.
That this is even a question at all shows have deranged this country has become.
Don’t worry. All those costs will be subsumed by “Medicare for All”. /sarcasm
I think you read that right.
I am sure that’s a reason they join.
Anybody who wants to chop their dicque off is insane, and not fit for military service.
