WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon revealed the specifics of its new transgender troop policy in a court filing Wednesday that says any service member or recruit who has been diagnosed with or treated for gender dysphoria is disqualified from serving — unless they can prove they meet a specific warfighting need and adhere to severe restrictions on their day-to-day behavior.

The policy memo was included in the latest court filing in a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump's executive order against transgender military service, one of many hot-button issues the president made a priority to address on his first days in office.

...

A clarification of sorts I suppose?

To hear Trump tell it he doesn’t wanna fight in any wars at all. I don’t know what they’re preparing for.

Transgender troops whose rights have been taken away are willing to fight and die for everyone else's rights.

What this country has come to.

The litigation on the ban on transgender persons in the military has been interesting to follow. The Musk/Hegseth/trump assholes issued some new rules on the conditions under which the trump/Hegseth military would tolerate transgender personnel.

There are relatively few pilots on base or carrier compared to the rest of the command.

Those support folks are very important to the pilots or infantry troops.

Does SECDEF Hegseth serve a "warfighting need"?
