Facts for thought. A few more: Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, was one of the last to support overturning “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,” which previously banned openly LGBTQ people from serving in the military. But in a statement Wednesday, he argued against Trump’s ban, saying that anyone who is qualified to serve should be allowed to do so. “Any American who meets current medical and readiness standards should be allowed to continue serving. There is no reason to force service members who are able to fight, train, and deploy to leave the military — regardless of their gender identity,” McCain said. “We should all be guided by the principle that any American who wants to serve our country and is able to meet the standards should have the opportunity to do so — and should be treated as the patriots they are.” Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), an Iraq War veteran, expressed similar opposition. “Americans who are qualified and can meet the standards to serve in the military should be afforded that opportunity,” she said in a statement. Given both McCain and Ernst’s military service, their statements appeared to push back on Trump’s claim that allowing transgender people to serve would create “disruption” in the military, highlighting the opposition of prominent conservative veterans. The president’s assertion is one that many conservatives have used to argue against allowing all sorts of groups to serve, from women, to people of color, to LGBTQ people. “I’m all about training standards. High, high standards for whoever joins the military,” Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), who served in the Marines, told HuffPost. “But my initial reaction is, if you can can meet those standards, we shouldn’t care who you are. So, meet the standards, and you should be able to join the military.” - Marina Fang and Igor Bobic for @huffpostpol // Graphic by Alissa Schiller
