More than 100 lawmakers are urging the U.S. Department of Defense to immediately end the military ban on transgender troops put in place by the Trump administration in 2019. On Wednesday, Rep. Suzan DelBene, a Democrat from Washington, joined by 116 members of Congress, signed a letter addressed to Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and Attorney General William Barr calling to the end of the policy, which they called “an attack on transgender service members who are risking their lives to serve our country.” The move comes just weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

First, commitment. Slice, dice, drugs before enlistment. Second...all treatments and drugs while in service are private pay. Then, possibly.

One hundred "lawmakers" who are first and foremost n DC to enrich themselves, the people's business be damned. I have nothing but contempt for "lawmakers." Heads on a stick!

There are no circumstances where mentally ill people should be in the US military. It's as simple as that.

who are the idiots who write this dribble. not one mention in the article of Republican participation. the fact is that there can be no breakdown in discipline in the military forces, due to the gender preference of each individual soldier, sailor, airman, marine and coast guardsman. unit integrity depends on each member of the unit believing that he or she will follow orders as given by the unit commander. no equivocating!! it's as simple as that. this type of behaviour brings about unit disruption and cannot be tolerated. the military has its own laws know as the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Sure... give more unknowns to our guys on the battlefield to deal with. They need to cope with hurt feelings, etc, etc, etc to show how woke they are. Please.

Apparently 100 'lawmakers' are too ignorant (and no doubt stupid) to understand the President is the CIC. What the CIC says goes, not what these 100 dweebs wish.

Why not take a poll of those IN the Military and get their feeling on it. Oh yeah, make it anonymous so they can be honest without repercussions.

Next up, "defund the military." We can send teams of social workers into all the hot spots instead of the SEALs.

Trump decides, the Pentagon says"Aye, aye, sir!" or gets a new job.

Please show us the cocktail (pun intended) of drugs that your medic or corpsman have carry so you can maintain this masquerade.

I think that our military should consist of war-fighting individuals whose main thought is training hard and winning in combat situations when they arise rather than people whose main concentration is on their own genitals. It was broken. Now it isn't.

Who in the hell do these people think they are? Have they not read the Constitution (never mind)? The POTUS is the Commander-in-Chief of United States Armed Forces. Tell them to pound sand or change the Constitution.

These 100 hated the military. And now they're concerned? They should be discouraging the transgenders from joining the military. Maybe, join the BLM?

These service members are risking OUR lives to serve in the military because of their liability to blackmail or worse. Don't ask what is worse than that unless you really want to know. That rainbow flag is a dangerous cloth. If patriotism was the goal, then why would you talk about what goes on behind closed doors?

There's no such thing as transgender. Leftists need to get their minds together. You're either male or female. That's it!

Someone who is on maintenance drugs (hormone therapy in this case) is non-deployable, because they cannot guarantee getting their drugs to them in a combat zone. Nobody who would be non-deployable from day one can join the military. That only makes sense.

In light of the recent Supreme Court ruling, Trump and the Pentagon may have no other choice. The thought of a tranny standing post at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier makes me want to gag.

A demographic with a 40% suicide rate might work in Imperial Japan's kamikaze program or wearing glittery bomb belts in a peaceful Islamic nation. But provided they sport the Homosexual Pride flag and not the Confederate battle flag, I suppose they'd be welcomed in the US Woke Forces too.
