Trump issued an executive order Monday calling for the dismissal of 15,000 honorably serving transgender military members.

In his order, AP Reports, Trump claimed that service by troops who identify as a gender other than their biological one “conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life” and is harmful to military readiness, requiring a revised policy to address the matter.

Trump instructed his newly confirmed, morally indefensible, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to write the policy. This of course is bullshit as the policy is already written as it is a component of Project 2015.

Is Trump a draft-dodging coward?

Trump didn't didn't serve during the Vietnam era because of Four Draft Deferments for College and One for Bad Feet (gift article). According to the New York Times his father Fred Trump, a NYC real estate mogul. paid for his schools and arranged his medical deferment through a podiatrist who rented an office in one of his buildings.

Trump's excuses for not serving were fluid. At times he said he wasn't selected because he had a high draft number. A quick internet search indicates that a service draft number of 580 would very likely indicate Trump would have been eligible to be drafted during the Vietnam War. Trump did appear for his intake physical but was medically disqualified and eventually classified as 4-f unfit for duty.

Trump used every means at his disposal to avoid serving our country during the Vietnam War. As a vet who servered honerably that is in my opnion cowardly.

AP Reports that two groups, Lambda Legal and Human Rights Campaign, which represented transgender troops the first time, vowed to fight again. “We have been here before and seven years ago were able to successfully block the earlier administration’s effort,” Lambda Legal attorney Sasha Buchert said. “Not only is such a move cruel, it compromises the safety and security of our country and is particularly dangerous and wrong. As we promised then, so do we now: we will sue.”

Respectfully, Sasha Buchert, I disagree. We haven't been here before. Expect a polished legally defensible argument from the legal minds at Project 2025.
