“Since ‘judge’ Reyes is now a military planner, they/she can report to Fort Benning 0600 to instruct our army rangers about the performance of high value target attacks … Then commander Reyes can send to Fort Bragg to train our green berets on counter -insurgency Warfare,” he wrote.
The judge delayed her order Until Friday morning to allow the time for the Trump government to appeal that it would do.

“The court knows that this advice will lead to a heated public debate and appeal. In a healthy democracy there are both positive results,” Reyes wrote. “However, we must agree that every person who has answered the call deserves our gratitude and respect.”
“Indeed, the cruel irony is that thousands of transgender -service members have sacrificed – some risk their lives – to ensure the very equal protection rights that the military ban tries to refuse them,” the judge added that the defendants are in public. “
