Biden’s Defense Secretary Thanks Transgenders for Fighting in American Revolution and US Civil War

The “woke” Pentagon this week thanked transgender troops and other members of the LGBT community for winning historic conflicts, including the Civil War — and the hat tip came just days after the Biden administration snubbed D-Day veterans on the anniversary of the invasion of France.

If you’ll recall, President Joe Biden was too busy this week costing Americans their jobs and making food for their families more expensive to thank the men who liberated France and, later, the rest of Europe.

Not a single proclamation, public comment or social media post was issued by the commander-in-chief to honor those who landed at Normandy on June 6, 1944.

Perhaps those men, who were mostly white male teenagers, weren’t ethnically or sexually diverse enough to be honored. Maybe it’s problematic that they didn’t discuss their thoughts on “pride” as their LCVP landing crafts faced MG-42 machine guns, artillery and mortar fire while they came ashore.

But Biden’s defense secretary, Lloyd Austin, made sure to produce a bizarre statement three days later honoring members of the alphabet community for their service — even in the Civil War, he said.

“Throughout American history, LGBTQ+ citizens have fought to defend our rights and freedoms — from the Founding of our nation to the Civil War, from the trenches of two World Wars to Korea and Vietnam, and from Afghanistan to Iraq,” Austin said Wednesday. “They fought for our country even when our country wouldn’t fight for them.

“Even as some were forced to hide who they were … or to hang up their uniforms.”
