Well done Mr President. The military isn't a BBC Three drama cast.

Pull the rainbow flag down and fly the stars and stripes (and bars) high!

He's such a joker - I'm glad the UK has not gone down to this route and should accept anyone in the armed forces if they can do the job. Regardless of their gender or sexuality.

I don't see the problem with transgender in the military, if they're willing to fight for their country then why the hell not?

I don't imagine anyone cares about flying a rainbow flag when they're in enemy territory fighting for their lives and their country.

Should all be based on having the proper mental and physical capabilities, nothing else needs to come into play. Obviously trans-fat Glendawing the quadracial unicorn can't fight a war with xir wheelchair and tendency to screech at people all day long, but Mike from Buffalo who just happened to be Michelle as a kid is probably fine to go out and serve as long as he can do what soldiers need to

Like everyone else has said, what exactly is the issue with them wanting to fight for their country. Women can do just as much as the men, times have moved on, there's more equality between men and women now, he should move on with the times too.

Hopefully the military isn't the only thing Trump's gonna ban them from.

Very confused at this. Anyone has the right to serve for their country. It worries me that people who I share my generation with agree with the ban.

[MightyMagician]

There's no such thing as a transgender human being. They are mentally ill degenerates, and clearly Trump realizes this.

Not agreeing with a process doesn't mean it doesn't exist

There is no process to being transgender. Anatomy is anatomy and no hormonal injection is going to change that regardless of how big the dose is. If you're born a guy and you believe you're a girl or vice versa, you're mentally ill.
