In typical government fashion, congress, politicians and career bureaucrats, Defense Secretary Hagle is out the door and Ashton Carter is being "interviewed" for the job. Now Washington has a huge chance to fix the biggest hypocrisy going on in our country today - How we treat transgender military members. Carter should answer a question without a doubt about what he would do if appointed..But-I don't think there is a cold chance in Washington, he will say anything other than he understands the issue is under "study"- yeah right-but he doesn't know for sure. Then again he could and will look into the phantom study.
Well, you military members know if Carter is approved-his "short timers" calendar will start. New president in a couple years and out he goes to some sort of cushy consulting job and yet a new study.
As you all know, I am a transgender vet and at one time in my past I served my country for the right to lose mine when I came out. Can you tell I have strong feelings????
