Trump - No transgender individuals in the military

Seems he will reverse everything Obama did - regardless of merit :mad:

US President Donald Trump says transgender people cannot serve in "any capacity" in the military.

As well as the whole message being the usual ill-informed reactionary nonsense, the thing I find very disturbing is his description of what the military should be focused on:

Quote:

"Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail."

Putting to one side whatever the "tremendous medical costs" would be, I thought that the military should be focused on keeping the US safe, not on "decisive and overwhelming victory" :rolleyes:
