    There estimated 15,000 transgender people in the volunteer army. What is Trump expecting... that he or generals will go to each and kick people that are volunteering to serve and protect our country out? This, from someone that cowardly deferred... five times?

    Once again, he was for any position at one time in his life, that's why he is never wrong.

    So, is the argument here they would be a distraction or are mentally weak and require some special attention?

    How is that line of thinking different from past debates over allowing gay men and women to serve, or going back further allowing any woman to serve alongside men?

    Policy by twitter tantrum. What an embarassing loser.

    I'm sure glad I don't have to compromise my core values and beliefs to defend the actions of The Mistake.

    Let them transition and join up. The military isnt the best place for a social experiment.

    Odd, disloyalty, hatred, fear, and prejudice is a social experiment? By who... Trump and the republicans he leads?

    I wonder if military leadership including Mattis were for this at all? Why didn't Mattis announce this? I wonder how long it takes for Mattis to resign (er, go on leave?

    In a better world, the guy who got multiple draft deferments should be in no place to make this decision.

    But, your President is unfortunately there.

    And if they are willing to die for my country, I'd welcome them no matter what. Very shameful you don't feel this way. Almost unpatriotic, if you think about it. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, you're one of the more reasonable posters on here.

    We don't say "Mr. Johnson" or "Ms. Johnson" - we say "Lieutenant Johnson" for a reason.

    Very un-American to deny able-bodied, of-age individuals the privilege of joining the military.

    Trump is not only hateful and prejudiced, but also cowardly as well...

    Ok. I can hope this wasnt a spur of the moment decision. This will not affect many soldiers. This is not the only reason citizens who are willing to die for our country cannot serve. I dont know enough about this mental state to have a strong opinion either way but I want to believe he didnt just wake up and make that decison without reason.
