Via The Hill:
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain (R-Ariz.) is backing a bipartisan bill that would block President Trump’s ban on transgender people serving in the military.
“When less than one percent of Americans are volunteering to join the military, we should welcome all those who are willing and able to serve our country,” McCain said in a statement.
“Any member of the military who meets the medical and readiness standards should be allowed to serve—including those who are transgender,” he said.
McCain, committee ranking member Jack Reed (D-R.I.), committee member Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) introduced the bill as stand-alone legislation on Friday.
Gillibrand and Collin earlier introduced the bill as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act. But the amendment is not expected to get a vote amid a larger dispute of which amendments will make it to a vote.
McCain may have been born legitimate, but he'll die a bastard. So, "Any member of the military who meets the medical and readiness standards should be allowed to serve"? They don't meet the medical standard. They are severely mentally ill. It's really that simple. The military is not a place for social experimentation! I'm sure Johnnie would've loved to share a foxhole with damaged goods when he was in the military. But then knowing him he probably would. Seems odd that a "combat veteran" would suggest that it's a good idea to place weapons in the hands of, and weapon systems under the control of a small portion of the population who doesn't want to be the sex they were born with, and have such a high suicide, and suicide attempt rate. And this rate will do nothing except climb higher under the stress of combat. But then McShame doesn't give a damn about what he's doing as long as he keeps trying to hurt Trump. He doesn't care at all what happens to the people who serve in it. McCain is a dishonorable piece of shit. He screwed the American people with his no vote on the repeal of the Obamacare, and now, having not done enough damage, he's going after the military. He's the worst type of American.
This was never about their life choice. It's about not putting the military and the taxpayer on the hook for their medical costs. $20 trillion in debt and we need this bullshit? McCain says, “When less than one percent of Americans are volunteering to join the military, we should welcome all those who are willing and able to serve our country".
Yeah, if this is what you want:
Really!
