| Нищо не разбирам вече - к'во става с новите ценности? Някои ще обясни ли? Дональд Иванич станал хомофоб? Не вярвам! Този сексист ще забрани и на жените да служат в армията! Натисни тук By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS and EILEEN SULLIVANJULY 26, 2017 WASHINGTON — President Trump announced on Wednesday that the United States will not “accept or allow” transgender people in the United States military, saying American forces “must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory” and could not afford to accommodate them. Mr. Trump made the surprise declaration in a series of posts on Twitter, saying he had come to the decision after consulting with generals and military experts, whom he did not name. “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,” Mr. Trump wrote. “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.” Transgender service members have been permitted to serve openly in the military since last year. The president’s announcement came amid debate on Capitol Hill over the Obama-era practice of requiring the Pentagon to pay for medical treatment related to gender transition. The dispute has unfolded as Congress considers a nearly $700 billion spending bill to fund the Pentagon. Representative Vicky Hartzler, Republican of Missouri, has proposed an amendment that would bar the Pentagon from spending money on transition surgery or related hormone therapy. The same measure narrowly failed this month in the House, with some Republicans joining Democrats to reject it. But some conservative Republicans have said they would not support the military spending measure without the language banning money for gender transition. Correction: July 26, 2017 An earlier version of this article misquoted the president’s tweet, saying he would not “allow or accept” transgender people in the military. He tweeted he would not “accept or allow” transgender people in the military. The error was also sent in an alert. |

Wednesday, July 26, 2017 Trump: The military will no longer allow transgender people to serve 'in any capacity' by Melissa Quinn | Jul 26, 2017, 9:10 AM 'We will take him to court': Transgender advocacy group threatens to sue Trump over military ban President Trump announced Wednesday morning the military will no longer allow transgender individuals to serve in "any capacity" in the military. "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. 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. Thank you," Trump said in a series of tweets that remained unfinished Wednesday morning. A Pentagon spokesman said to contact the White House for further information. "We refer all questions about the President's statements to the White House," Navy Capt. Jeff Davis said. "We will continue to work closely with the White House to address the new guidance provided by the Commander-in-Chief on transgender individuals serving the military. We will provide revised guidance to the Department in the near future." Last year, then-Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced that transgender people already in the military could serve openly, and directed service chiefs to come up with a policy to allow transgender recruitment by July 1. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis announced a delay in the implementation on June 30. "Our decision to delay the accessions of transgender individuals into the services was largely based on a disagreement on the science of how mental health care and hormone therapy for transgender individuals would help solve their medical issues that are associated with gender dysphoria," the Gen. Paul Selva, vice chairment of the Joint Chiefs, said on July 18. In a report last year, the Rand Corp. estimated that about 2,450 transgender people serve in the active component of the military, with another 1,510 in the reserve. "Only a subset will seek gender transition–related treatment. Estimates derived from survey data and private health insurance claims data indicate that, each year, between 29 and 129 service members in the active component will seek transition-related care that could disrupt their ability to deploy," the report said. Before Mattis decided to delay implementation of the new recruiting policy, more than a dozen Democrats sent him a letter urging him to move forward with the policy to allow transgender people to enlist. "We strongly encourage you to deny the request of a six-month delay in transgender policy implementation," the members wrote in their letter. "Throughout our nation's history, the Department of Defense has benefited from diversity and equal opportunity programs and policies, which support recruitment, retention and promotion. There are thousands of transgender individuals in our military today. There should be no further delay in implementing this policy and allowing transgender individuals to serve the country they love." Trump made the announcement while Mattis is on vacation. |
