Opinion in Brief
Tony Perkins: "Ask a liberal how Obama's [transgender] policy actually improves readiness, and they'll respond one of two ways: with a personal story or a personal attack. Why? Because there hasn't been a single scientifically based, rational military argument for it. Without psychology, top brass, or even popular opinion on their side, the Left resorts to a tired playbook — distractions and name-calling. ... This isn't a civilian office, where work can afford to take a backseat to sensitivity. It's a warzone. If we care about national security, why would we waste resources, money, and training time on a pride parade for the mentally unstable? Political correctness doesn't save lives in a battle with ISIS. Only an efficient, highly trained, mentally fit force can."
