"President" Donald Trump tweeted this morning that transgendered individuals will not be allowed to serve in any capacity in the United States armed forces. I did not think it would be possible for me to loathe this malignant creature any more than I did when I awoke this morning, but he has - again - surprised me.

Thousands of troops currently serving in the military are transgender, and some estimates place the number as high as 11,000 in the reserves and active duty military, according to a Rand Corp. study commissioned by the Defense Department. 

This horrific, irrational decision by the "President" is a tragedy for every one of them, for their families, and for the Armed Forces.
