All of the examples given were Yanks; even if a minuscule portion of the Union army was composed of females, it does not answer the question of:  

"Do transgendered troops make the military more or less capable?"

Trump is claiming that generals and "military experts" have advised him that transgendered troops make the military less capable.

If that is correct, then he made the right decision.

The purpose of the military is to defend our country in the best manner possible, not social engineering and inclusiveness.

On the other hand, a decorated transgender Navy Seal, Kristin Beck, begs to differ with Mr Trump in person.

That meeting will not occur anytime soon.

But if Ms Beck represents the quality of transgender troops in 2017, then we need more of them, not fewer.
