In a world of conquests and ideological terrorism, a nation is just as strong as its military. Our military is needed more than ever, and the well-being of veterans is essential. But President Obama has never cared about the stability of the U.S. military, as is evident by his demeaning attitude and his anti-military policies, including his latest act to repeal a regulation on transgendered individuals in the military effective July 1st.
I had never truly understood the severity of having transgendered individuals in the military until after I began interviewing U.S. servicemen and women and veterans. I noticed many of them felt neglected and somewhat alienated by the Obama administration, and felt like they were hopelessly fighting on behalf of a cause resented in the current anti-military climate. Some of my California classmates who were in active duty were even discreet about their work, for fear that they would be hated for fighting on behalf of the U.S. military.
