Donald Trump slammed the military service of trans troops as ‘politically correct’ in Virginia yesterday.
At an American Warriors PAC Q&A a man talked about the ‘warrior ethos that is in the DNA of the military’ and asked Trump: ‘Under this administration this ethos has been under attack and in some cases undermined by the forces of political correctness – the military has become an institution for social experiments, and as a result the military has undergone a number of changes to regulations with regards to women in combat, transgender rights and other issues.’
‘None of these PC actions were combat-effective or readiness driven. In fact the opposite is happening. Deployability, readiness and morale are all adversely affected. What will you do about the social engineering and political correctness that’s been imposed on our military?’
Trump responded: "We’re going to get away from political correctness – we are gonna have to do that. Some of the things they’re asking you to do and be politically correct about are ridiculous. I will say, I would leave many of the decisions of some of the things you mentioned to the generals, the admirals, the people on top (except he wants to fire them all). We’d get our military people to come back and make recommendations to me and I will follow those recommendations. I will follow them very strongly."
Jay Brown, the communications director of the HRC, said in a statement yesterday: ‘Allowing transgender people to serve their country isn’t about politics, it’s about extending them the respect and dignity every service member deserves. This is yet another example of the grave threat that Donald Trump and Mike Pence pose to LGBTI Americans.’
Brown also says:’ According to the Williams Institute, there are approximately 15,500 actively serving transgender members in the US military, making the Department of Defense (DOD) the largest employer of transgender people in America.’
‘Donald Trump’s comments today are a reminder that he puts at risk all the gains made by the LGBTI community over the last eight years.’ Cont. (Video)
