The decision will affect nearly 150,000 active and/or retired/veteran people on service in the US military.
And just like that, Caitlyin Jenner’s Senate run gets a boost…
“I felt a great disturbance in the Farce, as if millions of snowflakes suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.”
There are, apparently, around 15,500 transgender individuals either serving on active duty or in the National Guard or Army Reserve already. https://t.co/2MMjjUgO21

The Defense Department estimates as many as 7,000 transgender troops serve in the active-duty force of 1.3 million.
Here is one Delta Force Operator’s reality check (via IJR.com)… All soldiers in the U.S. Army are now required to take a 50-minute training course on transgender sensitivity. Independent Journal Review wanted to know what veterans who have trained thousands of soldiers to fight in combat think about the news.
We spoke with U.S. Army Master Sergeant (Ret.) and Delta Force Operator Dale Comstock. Comstock has seen more war than the average American can wrap their head around. In fact, he’s served in every major campaign from Grenada in 1983 to present-day conflicts.
Comstock said:
“This whole political-social experiment is not helping. The reality is, it’s in the Army, it’s in the Navy, it’s in the military. And unless Mattis and Trump rescind all these policies and stop this madness, it’s here to stay.
It affects morale and combat readiness on many levels. At the end of the day, war fighting is about one thing: Killing people. It’s about bringing home our guys alive. It’s not about being sensitive to a transgender. This isn’t corporate America, this is the military.
You can’t just put some policy in place because you want people to feel equal. Most guys who join the military, especially special operations forces, were the boys who had dirt clod fights on the playground, wrestled and fist fought, stole each other’s girlfriends, and pledged allegiance to the flag. And that same spirit and apex predator mindset goes with us into the military.”
For those curious, here is a full breakdown on Transgender in US Military Service from the Williams Institute.
