“These people will be forced out when the military can't recruit enough people,” said an anonymous source familiar with Trump's plans. “Only the Marine Corps has achieved recruitment numbers, and some of the people affected are in very senior positions.”
“These anonymous sources are making assumptions.”
According to the paper, multiple sources said Trump's order is “broader than the actions taken during his first term” and could even remove soldiers who have been in the military for decades from their posts. He said that there is a sex.
“These anonymous sources are making assumptions and have no idea what they are actually saying,” Caroline Leavitt said in a statement to Blaze News.
“No decisions have been made on this issue,” Levitt continued. “No policy should ever be considered official unless it comes directly from President Trump or his authorized spokesperson.”
The anonymous sources included in the Times report may be unreliable sources, such as those cited by The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg, but Trump has done similar things in the past. , promised during his campaign that he would take similar measures after taking office.
In July 2017, President Trump announced that “the United States government does not recognize or permit transgender individuals to serve in the United States military in any capacity.” President Trump added, “Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory, and we cannot afford to incur significant medical costs and disruption in the military due to transgender people.”
President Trump's concerns have grown even stronger. February 22, 2018, Department of Defense memo At the time, Secretary of Defense James Mattis stated, “In the Department's best military judgment, the Department believes there is a significant risk in allowing the enrollment and retention of individuals with a history or diagnosis of gender dysphoria.'' “We conclude that this requires a history or diagnosis of gender dysphoria, or they are already undergoing treatment to change their gender.”
In 2019, the Trump Department of Defense established a policy Allow “transgender” troops to serve as long as they do not try to impersonate members of the opposite sex or invade their space. Therefore, although they can claim to be “transgender,” they must use pronouns, uniforms, barracks, and toilet facilities appropriate to their gender.
After taking office, President Joe Biden reversed Trump's policies. states“America's strength lies in its diversity.”
In the years since then, medical cross-dressers in the military have been provided with gender reassignment and cosmetic surgery at taxpayer expense, given the opportunity to miss deployments, and exempted from uniforms and physical fitness standards. .
February 1, 2023 document Independent journalist obtained last year Dossier Jordan SchachtelThe paper, titled “Care for Servicemembers Who Identify as Transgender,” states that the Department of Defense provides “speech therapy, voice therapy, cross-sex hormone therapy, laser hair removal, voice feminization surgery, facial contouring, and body modification.” It has been revealed that they are funding so-called care for cross-dressers, including “plastic surgery''. Contouring, breast/thoracic surgery (colloquially referred to as “top” surgery), and genital repositioning/confirmation surgery (“bottom” surgery).
'[The DOD] Fucked Bud Light.
Blaze News has previously reported that recruits with mental disorders, those found to be on medication, women with abnormal bleeding from the uterus, men with genital deformities, and people with chronic anxiety. reported that these were people who had committed self-harm or had met the victim in the past. The psychiatrist prohibited on a daily basis They are banned from joining the military, but similar bans on people who claim to be “transgender” appear to have been relaxed under the current government.
playing cards pledged In August 2023, he told a crowd in New Hampshire that he would “reinstate President Trump's ban on transgender people in the military.” promised “Prohibit the Department of Veterans Affairs from wasting a single penny funding transgender and gender reassignment surgeries.”
rachel branamanLGBT activist and president of the Modern Military Association of America told the Times, “If the transgender ban were to go into effect on day one of the Trump administration, it would undermine military readiness and create an even greater recruitment and retention crisis.'' It goes without saying that it signals vulnerability to America's adversaries.”
“Surprisingly laying off more than 15,000 service members would increase the administrative burden on combatant forces and strengthen unit cohesion, especially given that last year's military recruiting goal fell by 41,000 people. , and exacerbate significant skills gaps,” Brannaman continued. “Not only will there be significant economic costs, but there will also be a loss of experience and leadership, and it will probably take 20 years and billions of dollars to replace him.”
If President Trump's pick to lead the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, is confirmed by the Senate, he appears willing to make quality, rather than diversity, a top priority at the Pentagon.
“I think we're on the brink of 'or get out of the pot,'” Hegseth said recently. “We're at a tipping point of complete institutional corruption, and Trump has a chance to reverse it. There is,” he said. said “The Sean Ryan Show.” ”[The DOD] I committed to Bud Light. They sought out non-traditional voters to the detriment of their core electorate. ”
Hegseth continued, “The Army that I joined, that I was sworn in in 2001, and that I commissioned in 2003 looks very different than the Army of today because we focused on a lot of the wrong things. “Because I'm guessing,” he added.
