On Thursday, taking issue with President Trump, who tweeted that he planned to bar transgender people from serving in the U.S. military, Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer told reporters that “any patriot” should be allowed to serve.
Spencer stated, “We will process and take direction of a policy that is developed by the [Defense] secretary [with] direction from the president and march out smartly. On a fundamental basis, any patriot that wants to serve and meets all the requirements should be able to serve in our military.”
