Jim Mattis expected to break with Trump, advise keeping transgender troops in the military: Report

by Diana Stancy Correll | Feb 22, 2018, 5:46 PM


Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is reportedly expected to advise President Trump to continue allowing transgender service members to serve in the military, clashing with Trump's call to ban transgender individuals from serving.

Mattis will likely recommend that the transgender members remain in the military when he meets with Trump to provide a briefing on the topic, two U.S. officials told the Washington Post.

Trump sent out a series of tweets last year in July, calling for a ban transgender troops in the military. The tweets were followed by a directive that ordered the military to “return to the longstanding policy and practice of military service by transgender individuals that was in place prior to June 2016.”

Didn't the admin already say they weren't going to fight the lawsuits brought by transgenders?  This is a done deal.

That won't get in the way of WaEx muckraking up a good Hate Trump story. What do you expect from a newspaper that has Rubio for President literature in their break rooms for self pleasuring.

Trump said something about current enlistees not being expelled. Don't know about any lawsuits from others.
