Trump Bans Transgender People From Serving In The U.S. Military by UPDISTIC7: 9:54pm On Jul 26, 2017 |
President Trump today on the social media announces ban on transgender people from serving in the military in any capacity, The action is a reversal of his predecessor’s decision to allow them to serve. The Obama’s administration which lifted the ban last year to enable those affected serve in the military will now be reversed. “After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military,”. Trump wrote on Twitter. “Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail.” He further wrote. The ban is coming after Trump’s defense secretary, retired Gen. Jim Mattis, had delayed the implementation of the plan to accept transgender troops by six months. The decision is now coming a day before the deadline for the military to update its medical standards to accommodate transgender service members. According to Mattis the delay in no way presupposes the outcome. “Since becoming the Secretary of Defense, I have emphasized that the Department of Defense must measure each policy decision against one critical standard: will the decision affect the readiness and lethality of the force?” Mattis stated last month in a statement. “Put another way, how will the decision affect the ability of America’s military to defend the nation? It is against this standard that I provide the following guidance on the way forward in accessing transgender individuals into the military Services.” According to US reports many thousands of troops who were currently serving in the military are transgender. The ban has already attracted criticism from some people including US lawmakers. Gay rights and transgender organizations have in the past threatened legal action against the US Pentagon if it decided to roll back or hinder transgender troops from serving in the US military. It will be recalled that the organization thought the help of their their legal and political advocacy had succeeded in convincing the US Congress and President Barack Obama to repeal the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” ban on gay troops established during the Clinton administration. It is however uncertain if they will succeed in stopping President Trump’s recent ban SOURCE: http://www.naijasilvergold.com/blog/2017/07/26/trump-bans-transgender-people-serving-u-s-military/
