@pbsnews: At the end of January, President Trump signed an executive order titled “Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness” barring transgender people from serving openly in the military and the order is now being weighed in federal court. One of those who could be affected by Trump's ban is Cmdr. Emily Shilling, a decorated Navy pilot with over 60 combat missions and high-risk work as a test pilot. She’s also the lead plaintiff in one of the legal challenges against the executive order. PBS News' Lisa Desjardins spoke with Shilling for more. #military #lgbtq #news #hegseth #Trump #politics
Trump needs to allow God back into the pledge of allegiance since they removed God from it 🇺🇸 has gone bad

Commander Schilling, thank you for your service. I support your right to keep doing the work you were trained to do. I reject the hate and discrimination of our current administration. I truly fear

Commander Schilling deserves our accolades. She has risked her life multiple times for our country, and some relish in the idea of imagining themselves superior. It’s a scary time.

How can we put God back into things when everyone has already ran everything to hell, because they just want to do whatever evils they want! It’s all almost unfixable, even for God! It’s a mess!!!🤔🙄

Trump is allowing radicalized right wing officers to act in prejudicial ways against service members. We don’t have a “trans” problem. Our standards are higher then ever. We have a hate problem.

Yeah, the problem is the Democrats that have the hate problem, the Republicans are trying to make things right the way God meant for it to be.

We have trained trans soldiers. They are no different than you or I. Except they are fighting for our freedoms. If you believe in freedom, you believe in trans fighters.

our trans troops are honest people that are willing to serve in this country, not like lying white racists who think that only white men can do the job

IT will be gone from the military very soon. People with mental health issues should not be in the military.

This condition like many others are incompatible with military service. It’s not about hate either, it’s what is best for the military as a lethal fighting force! Some medical conditions are disqualifying!

People that are active duty in the military today do not feel this way towards trans people. Many of us have friends in the lgbtq+ community and they do the job perfectly fine, if not, better.
