Mattis delays allowing transgender in military, services to review ‘impact’ on readiness
By Rowan Scarborough - The Washington Times - Saturday, July 1, 2017
Defense Secretary James Mattis has delayed allowing transgender people to join the military until Jan. 1, 2108 at the earliest, the Pentagon announced Friday night.
In a statement, chief spokes person Dana W. White said Mr. Mattis was following a recommendation from the military branches.
In an explanation that indicates the issue is far from settled, the statement said “The services will review their accession plans and provide input on the impact to the readiness and lethality of our forces.”
Mr. Mattis has been under pressure from conservative activists and Republicans in Congress to deny recruitment to transgender people.
They also want him to roll back President Barack Obama’s decision last year to let transgender troops remain on active duty instead of being discharges automatically.
They cite medial costs, harm to unit combat readiness and embarrassing incidents to troops.
Former Defense Secretary Ashton Carter had set July 1, Saturday, as the start of recruiting transgender people. His successor has now put that policy on hold.

My comments: This is a Test before the Living God for Trump and Mattis. Do they want the Favor and Protection of God Almighty on the U.S. Military or Not? The Obama Transgender decision is an Abomination before the Living God and if it is kept in place the U.S. Military will be Rendered Impotent.
