According to The Hill<\/a>, the service chiefs have asked the Pentagon for a delay in institution of the last administration’s plan to accept new transgender recruits. <\/p>\n

According to the AP, which cited unnamed officials, three of the four service branches wanted more time. The Army and Air Force wanted a two-year delay, while the Navy requested a one-year delay at the request of the Marines, which is under the Navy’s purview.<\/p>\n

The four service chiefs met with Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Work about the issue this week, according to the AP.<\/p>\n

The chiefs believe the extra six months before implementing the policy would give the services time to gauge if currently serving transgender troops are facing problems and what necessary changes the military bases might have to make, the AP reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not to mention that there’s this on-going war thing happening on three continents that probably deserves more attention than the social engineering policies of the last administration.<\/p>\n

The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) argued that a delay would harm readiness.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach day that passes without implementing the final piece of this important policy harms our military readiness and restricts the Armed Forces ability to recruit the best and the brightest,\u201d Stephen Peters, HRC national press secretary, said in a statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that strikes me as so much horseshit. How does recruiting youngsters who can’t accept nature’s decision on their gender identity make the military more effective? How does that help our deployed troops kill our nation’s enemies in greater numbers? It only wastes money on social glad-handing that could be better spent on readiness and training.<\/p>\n

While the services are trying to work out the deployment of thousands of troops to fight terrorism, they don’t need the distraction of the social integration of deviant lifestyles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
