2017 is the year LGBT activists and fringe liberals nearly won the fight. Their complaints are being treated as legitimate political concerns. President Trump’s inauguration came too late to stop all of the damage.
The Justice Department ruled Monday that the military must accept transgender recruits. The decision openly defies Trump’s intention to keep those who are unsure of their gender out of our military. Soldiers need to be functioning at their best.
“With only a brief hiatus, Defendants have had the opportunity to prepare for the accession of transgender individuals into the military for nearly one and a half years,” wrote the deciding judge.
“Especially in light of the record evidence showing, with specifics, that considerable work has already been done, the Court is not convinced by the vague claims in [the government’s] declaration that a stay is needed.”
In just a few weeks, transgender recruits will be allowed to become soldiers. The decision is bound to please the PC crowd, but it’s doubtful that the military will be improved very much. Trump knows what he wants for this country, but Obama leftovers are continually blocking him.
“We disagree with the Courts ruling and are currently evaluating the next steps,” Justice Department spokeswoman Lauren Ehrsam said.
“ Plaintiffs’ lawsuit challenging military service requirements is premature for many reasons, including that the Defense Department is actively reviewing such service requirements, as the President ordered, and because none of the Plaintiffs have established that they will be impacted by current policies on military service.”
