>Joint Chiefs to troops: 'No modifications' to transgender policy
There will be “no modifications” to the military’s transgender policy as a result of President Donald Trump’s tweets, the chairman of the joint chiefs said in a message to top military officers on Thursday.
Marine Gen. Joe Dunford wrote in the message to the chiefs of the services and senior enlisted leaders that the military will continue to “treat all of our personnel with respect.”
“I know there are questions about yesterday's announcement on the transgender policy by the President,” Dunford wrote in the message, a copy of which was provided to POLITICO. “There will be no modifications to the current policy until the President's direction has been received by the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary has issued implementation guidance.”
“In the meantime, we will continue to treat all of our personnel with respect. As importantly, given the current fight and the challenges we face, we will all remain focused on accomplishing our assigned missions,” he continued.
The president said Wednesday in a series of three tweets that transgender troops would no longer be allowed to serve in any capacity, sparking questions about what that would mean for the thousands currently in uniform and whether it constitutes an official policy change.
Asked about an implementation plan, the Defense Department on Wednesday directed all questions to the White House.
The tweets sparked immediate blow back from lawmakers in both parties and advocacy groups who threatened legal action.
Why didn't Trump consult these people before his tweet?
Was it just a desperate smokescreen attempt for his failing healthcare legislation?
Charles Sanders
Unfortunately general Dunford isn't the president or the secretary of defense so it's not his decision to make.
Kayden Bell
Literally nothing in that says he disagrees with Trump.
Angel Adams
people with mental conditions can not join the military ergo trannies can not join
Aaron Gomez
Source? Trump is the commander in chief - this sounds like FAKE NEWS

fake and gay
Austin Walker
Because he doesn't have to idiot.
Xavier Peterson
I have seen this reported in several places as a rebuttal of sorts. Time for a quick game of "Stupid or Liar."
All Dunford said is that they don't change policy based on tweets. There is a formal structure for communicating these instructions. They are simply awaiting instructions. That's it.
>everyone pretending like trannies aren't severely mentally ill >people keep saying "trannies are suicidal enough as it is, not letting them in the military will make them MORE suicidal"
Sounds a lot like "better let the muslims in or else they will become terrorists".
Bentley Fisher
this.
Samuel Roberts
>"SHOT DOWN" >Literally says he won't do anything until the papers show up saying to
Christ you shills must be dying.
Dominic Fisher
The joint chiefs just haven't received the paperwork yet. I'm sure they are drawing them up as we speak, it just takes time as it has to go through legal channels to make sure wording is within legal parameters, and then work it's way to the proper dept heads. They will get their directive soon enough.
James Brown
Well he is our Commander in Chief so they can go suck a nice fat tranny cock.
Jackson Brooks
this although he's now been exposed as a slave to (((them)))

People-if you have been reading the Dinar Chroniclas you will find that general Dunford is a Chinese espionage agent in collusion also with Paul Ryan to over throw trump and Pence, install Paul Ryan and the Chinese will call their loans on the United States and take over the American currency. They say Dunford has by force secured trillions in gold from the fed. and it is being held until they do the currency reset which would make the Zim/Dinar the currency with gold backed by the Chinese. Things are very bad. They claim they put Paul Ryan in place (Chinese) s third in line to POTUS for that reason. Also, there is wording being written into the Health care act that when trump signs it will trigger the takeover. Also the Russia sanctions act. Obama lawyers working behind the scenes drafting the hidden wording.
Easton Torres
THIS WHAT TRUMP AND MATTIS SAY, GOES.

>Marine Gen. Joe Dunford
about to get fired. rip faggot.
Ryan Morales
God you're a fuckin idiot.
He's just stating the obvious. Nothing is gonna happen until an order is issued.
The joint chiefs server UNDER the president and secretary of defense. They're aren't shooting anything down
Fuckin sage
Mason Robinson
All he is saying is the trans thing hasn't changed until he gets the command, you stupid faggot.
Dominic Hernandez
Damn I thought that was cryin Chuck Schumer for a minute.
Jack Clark
> “no modifications” >until the President's direction has been received by the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary has issued implementation guidance
Okay, so military policy takes a bit of time to roll downhill and be fully implemented. I'm waiting for the part of this that counts as news...
Cameron Nguyen
uhh, this guy didn't "shoot down" the trans ban. he said that there will be no modifications to how personnel are treated, and no changes to personnel until the order is given.
jesus, you people are retarded.
Jaxon Lee
Reality: >says "we don't change policy via twitter, once we get the proper documentation we will change."
Fake news >says "fuck trump! trannies are beautiful! RESIST!!!"
Juan Thomas
you forgot the "YAS KWEEENNN SLAYYYYY" at their graduation from Basic Training.
Owen Hill
>They're going to do it officially and not just kick them in the ass out the door so that means it's not going to happen.
Austin Perry
You are a fucking idiot - he never said anything that went against Trump. MSM creating a narrative that the Generals are against him. You fell for it like an idiot.
He is waiting for official orders and thats all. Tweet was for the people now he is working out details for the pentagon you dumbass.
Nolan Ortiz
How much do they pay you? I mean fuck me, this is like if buzzfeed started an ib. May islamic peace find you
Josiah Martin
>no modifications to the current policy until the President's direction has been received by the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary has issued implementation guidance at least you tried
Blake Wright
C'mon, you know it's because he's an impulsive autist that lies about everything. He never talked to his generals, he watched fox & friends and then got on his phone
Andrew Rogers
Shouldn't Dunford be getting ready to drop the ball on the RV for all those fags waiting for the ZIMMMZ and DINAR? All going to be rich yo!
Parker Hernandez
Kek, does it make you feel better to say that? So pathetic haha
Jeremiah Myers
How does it feel being emotionally attached to a shitty politician in another country, trumpfag?
Chase Myers
What's it called in the military when you disobey a lawful order from a superior officer again?
Zachary Ortiz
I'm not attached to anything. You're the one making up a story to belittle the president in your own head. You latch onto any tiny thing and wank off to it.
Sebastian Perry
>“There will be no modifications to the current policy until the President's direction has been received by the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary has issued implementation guidance.”
so it's fucking nothing?
sage
Liam Price
>not knowing how the military works Trump tweeted. That's it. SECDEF is drafting actual policy. SECDEF will issue policy after legal review. Until then, the DoD will drive on with the current policy.
The great thing about this is we get to cause this psychic trauma twice, once with the tweet, and again when the SECDEF actually issues the official policy.
Still not tired of winning.
Charles Nguyen
>id >goy
checks out
James Ward
Dunford is a tranny... lol
Oliver Diaz
Mattis was on vacation. Maybe he should talk to that guy before coming up with a policy he saw on foxnews and getting on twityer
Brayden Roberts
Joint Chiefs keeping America great.
FUCK YOU TRUMP!
Bentley Peterson
Nice reading comprehension fuck up. The guy is saying nothing changes until they get their orders. Why the fuck would you expect anything else? He is not and can not reject Trump's directives.
James Parker
>the United States Armed Forces does not have to do what the Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces says
lol no
He's just saying we're not kicking all the trannies out onto the street until they get something in writing
Wyatt Harris
