Who ever said or implied anything even close to that? If you look at
how Trump made his decision on transgenders, which is readily available
online, it's clear it had nothing to do with military readiness, what
the generals wanted, he lied. It was in reaction to what a few right
wing nuts in the House wanted and even they didn't want what Trump
did. They were allegedly concerned about the awful financial burden
transgenders would impose on the military. NEver mind that the study
the Pentagon ordered, showed that cost was just $2 to $8 mil a year,
so their whole argument is total BS. But they got Trump's ear and
he went further, tossing out the brave people serving. The Pentagon
didn't know he was doing it, they were still in the process of evaluation,
he undercut Mattis, made him look like an ass, by barely giving him
a heads up on his tweet. And then as usual, everyone from the WH to
the Pentagon looked like a bunch of fools, because they couldn't
answer simple questions, like what happens to those brave soldier
already serving. Trump threw them under the bus. Did you see the
nice video of Trump holding up the big gay flag, saying "LGBT, I will
defend your rights, Hillary will take them away"? That was when
he needed them, now like so many others, he chucks them under the
bus, because it's convenient and it's always been about Trump, Trump,
Trump.
Those are the facts.
