More than a dozen retired generals and admirals have signed a letter to President Trump thanking him for his announced policy to ban transgender people from the armed forces. Trump announced his decision on July 26 over Twitter. 

It was met with protests from the gay rights movement and liberal media. But, the Washington Times reports the letter sent to Trump applauded him for his “courageous decision to reverse President Obama’s transgender social experiment.”

It said the decision in the long-term will “save the culture and war-fighting capacity of the U.S. military.”

Military leaders at the Pentagon remain in a holding pattern on how and when to implement the policy change.
