Breitbart: U.S. Army Ends Gender-Affirming Procedures, Bans Trans Individuals

The policy emphasizes the importance of troop readiness and integrity, arguing that adopting a gender identity inconsistent with biological sex conflicts with the values expected of service members. A recent survey indicated that 54% of likely voters support Trump's order to discharge transgender military personnel.
