Carter summons U.S. military commanders, diplomats to Kuwait
ISIS will have to await Jen Psaki’s press release detailing any military strategies, including force composition, deployment timetables, etc which may be accidentally touched on in this meeting.
Not to be greatly concerned because the tip-off to the apparent main reason for the get-together is to address other major issues like the shortage of transgenders in the ranks of our military.
And now

Defense Secretary, Ash (he’s good old “Ash” already) Carter said during a visit to Afghanistan that transgender people should be allowed to serve openly as long as they are able to do so.
Note: Hardly any reference to this topic is reported by the media without noting that there are “15,000 transgender troops currently serving secretly”. This number is helpfully provided to news organizations, academics, government officials, etc. by the “Palm Center”, “a research institute that ‘supports’ ending the ban.”
The “Palm Center” is associated with the University of California Santa Barbara not only “supports” ending the ban on transgenders serving in the military, it is devoted almost exclusively to that task, along with other well-funded projects aimed in large part at insuring the enhanced status of LGBT in the US military. It’s headed by Aaron Belkin, “scholar, author, dancer”.
It is unclear to this writer whether anyone has attempted to verify the “research results” of this “institute”. Also noteworthy, an Internet search of the Palm Center yields few negative stories or reports, but then it’s not surprising in that “disparaging” words are not taken kindly by the Center.

If they are “serving secretly” how do they know how many transgenders are “serving’?
