Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis has frozen a decision by former President Barack Obama to actively recruit transgender soldiers this year, a move that is winning support from the public.
Transgender activists are livid over the Mattis decision to block the Obama directive, which would have put the most respected government institution, the United States military, in the position of de facto advocacy on behalf of transgenders.
The military’s most famous transgender soldier, Chelsea Manning (once Bradley Manning) was freed from military prison by President Obama in one of his last acts in office. Manning was involved in one of the largest leaks of military and government secrets in history after serving in Iraq.
Mattis’ policy has strong support from the public, as evidenced in recent polls that show the public was opposed to expanding the presence of transgenders in the military.

If a person isn’t menatlly healthy enough to know which sex they are how can you depend on them to know whaat side of a battle they are on? Makes sense to me! It takes a lot of personal courage and self denial to be a great military person….denying self is a major requirement!
good he doesn’t deserve it
Amen for that, I don’t think I am going to be supportive of this
STOP this Bull$#%&!@*!!!
America has always been the worlds strongest sonce 1700s .we dont need to weaken it for PC b******t. next the will want warriors to wear pink and fight with purses
That’s good…..
l sure would want to be in the$#%&!@*with one of these people. they would be looking for a safe space and crying when it hit the fan. if yhey cant figure out what sex they are how the going to figure out anything in a stressful situation
I support you mad dog semper fi
Good for you, sir. I feel safer with that decision
NO TRANSGENDERS IN THE MILITARY!!! We need people with brains and strong emotional character and transgenders are very unstable people psychologically. They have no security in knowing if they were born with a penis that makes them a man, and if they have a v****a and cervix they are a woman. NOTHING CHANGES THAT!!! Keep them out of our military for sure!!!
