Chuck Hagel says that the military should review its ban on transgendered soldiers. He said that any American wanting to and qualified to serve should do it. And since you have to put religious considerations aside, what arguments are there for banning transgendered people from the military? Israel allows it. The U.K. allows it. Australia allows it. If someone can do the job and WANTS to do the job, why shouldn't they be allowed to do it? (And if it's "morale" and "chemistry," the military has ALWAYS prided itself on bringing people of wildly variant backgrounds together. In World War II, they brought black troops together with white segregationists from the South, and they fought side-by-side. Why should this this different?) (CBS News)
