well, no one wants to kick them out simply because they are trans anyway.

People who are currently serving must finish their contracts anyway.

I thought the original order gave Mattis the responsibility of deciding what to do with trans soldiers who were already enlisted. I don't see this as a diss of Trump, it looks like he's just decided what direction he's going to go in. Leave them be until we study it more.

Yep some here think this is Gen Mattis giving Trump the middle finger. Nope, not even close.

It seems like the only one who has an issue with this is Trump. I've never heard much noise coming out of the Armed Forces relating to the issue.

Nobody in the Armed Forces likes tranny soldiers. Military members aren't allowed to express their opinions in public.
