I guess he figures that we should forget about the war that our military is fighting outside our borders to reexamine the policy in regards to allowing trans-sexuals to serve in the military; <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Hagel did not indicate whether he believes the policy should be overturned. However, Hagel says every qualified American who wants to serve the country should have that opportunity if they fit the qualifications and can do the job.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>A panel convened by a think tank at San Francisco State University recently estimated that about 15,450 transgender personnel serve in the military and in the National Guard and Reserves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s almost as if Hagel wants us to forget that this administration has been a complete failure in the war against our nation&#8217;s enemies by throwing these red herrings around. I wonder how they came up with that 15,000 number. And if there are 15,000 transgendered people currently serving in the military, why is there a problem that requires a study?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TSO sends a link from the Associated Press which reports that Secretary of Defense Hagel is &hellip; <a title=\"Hagel: Pentagon should review transgender ban\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=46790\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Hagel: Pentagon should review transgender ban<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40316,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[198],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-big-army"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=46790"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46790\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/40316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=46790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=46790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=46790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
