Transgender People Can Still Serve for Now, U.S. Military Says.
'The military’s policy permitting transgender individuals to serve remains in place, the country’s highest military officer said on Thursday, clarifying some of the confusion surrounding President Trump’s announcement on Twitter that transgender people would no longer be accepted or allowed in the military.
In a letter to the military service chiefs, Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that the policy on who is allowed to serve will not change until the White House sends the Defense Department a rules change and the secretary of defense issues new guidelines.
“In the meantime, we will continue to treat all of our personnel with respect,” General Dunford said in the letter, first reported by Reuters. “As importantly, given the current fight and the challenges we face, we will all remain focused on accomplishing our assigned missions.”'>>>

The generals recognize all kinds of problems this will cause. That's all they need right now with so much going on, for Thug Trump to destabilize the military from within.
He just has to prove he can flex his muscle, or whatever he is flexing, anywhere.
They won't do anything until forced.
I'm guessing that Mattis and some of the other generals are hanging on out of sheer patriotism and fear of how much more destruction Thug Trump would heave at the military, but for having a few people in charge who know what they are doing & who will resist his agressive ignorance.
Thanks for hanging in there!
