Transgender Americans should be free to be in the military. Any American - gay, straight, or transgender - who meets basic military standards should be free to serve and fight for their country. ANY American.

I mean up here from Northern IL us history buffs know Jeannie Hodgers who referred to himself as Albert Cashier and served 3 years in the 95th Illinois out of McHenry County.
The LGBTQI community is loyal, work ethic standard setting, fit, kind and empathetic when need be, but serious about protecting others, & unafraid to confront when needed. They can be lethal. A GOP president lowered enlistment standards, to stock the ranks with uneducated, unqualified criminals.
You would think that this would be encouraged. To have plenty of fodder to feed directly onto the frontline, leaving normal recruits in relative saftey.
I totally agree, but would expand the pool a bit. Years ago, I joined the Air Force with a green card feeling *like* an American. Eight years later, I left *as* an American, a naturalized U.S. citizen. Love of this country lives in all sorts of places.
Especially since "macho" males (really man-babies) like tRump refuse to serve. The only hope the military will soon have for making its annual enlistment quotas will be tRump's policies that cause a civilian job market crash.
If you read the EO in context, the purpose of the accusations that transgender service members are dishonest and dishonorable is to set the stage for giving them Other than Honorable discharges, preventing them from ever holding federally funded jobs again, or receiving any benefits.
Trump is criminal trash he's gonna get his watch he's not gonna survive what he's doing to this country this is the United States if it explodes they are all going to have to find another country to live in
If they have the skills then it’s an obvious answer! Just because someone’s trans doesn’t mean they can’t be an excellent marksman let’s say. Could have better skills than a straight white guy. But just because they’re straight and white means they get to serve over the other person.
ASK ANY SOLDIER IN THE MIDST OF WAR HOW MUCH THEY CARE WHERE THEIR SUPPORT STICKS THEIR PRIVATE PARTS WHILE BEING SHOT AT! NONE OF THEM WOULD GIVE A SHIT AS LONG AS THEY GET THE SUPPORT THEY NEED IN BATTLE!
I agree, but why would any sane American volunteer for the military at this point? You will be forced into more illegal wars, only this time for the clown. Form your own army to fight against trumps private militias. No disrespect to any of our Vets. They lied to you.
Wonder what captain bone spurs problem is here? I guess he is setting up so if there is a draft again his kids and grandkids have a way of being kept out the army. Klinger would have gotten his wish if the great pumpkin was in office during the Korean War.
Transgender Soldiers, Gay Soldiers Women Soldiers, Black Soldiers have proven their merit as Soldiers in the US military.
They are not Fortunate Sons with bone spurs.
Trumpers who want DEI erased for a 'merit-based society' aren't patriots they are just bigots.
We were all warned about Project 2025, Trump’s Racism, Trump’s White Supremacy ties, and his unbridled to be just like Putin.
Putinism is Trumpism, check it out.
do we know of
a "plan" from an ALTERNATIVE "think tank"?
Project 2025 - conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation.
The project aims to promote conservative and right-wing policies to reshape the federal government of the United States and consolidate executive power
Just for discussion, imagine Hegseth fell off his holier than thou ivory tower and needed immediate medical attention to save his life and the first responder was a transgender medic. Would Pete reject he help and die or embrace the medic?
All of this while military recruitment is at or near an all time low. ANYBODY who wants to serve their country should be allowed to.
Transgendered troops, gay troops, straight troops, female troops, male troops are all capable of doing the job. There should be NO restrictions.

comrades did not care
bone spur boy does
impeach the fraud
when you categorize people by the color of their skin
how many colors are there on the color wheel?
just trying to understand please help me
The dude was far from perfect. He was called a fascist, but if he was, then what does this make the modern gop?
As Pete has mentioned, women belong at home in the kitchen 😳
Do you think the addition of these groups you mention will help the US win a war?
