Trump went further than House Republicans even wanted, with little warning, over fear of losing money for his wall.http://www.politico.com/story/2017/07/26/trump-transgender-military-ban-behind-the-scenes-240990 …

Also: "Defense Secretary James Mattis refused to immediately upend the policy."http://www.politico.com/story/2017/07/26/trump-transgender-military-ban-behind-the-scenes-240990 …

@SHSanders45: "This was a decision about military readiness," unit cohesion, and resources within the military. -
"I really don't have anything else to add on that topic," Sanders says, threatening to end the briefing if trans service questions continue.
-
Sanders says there were "extensive discussions" with his national security team. (They've certainly not claimed that previously.)
-
I'd think leaving 1000s of units up in the air on the status of their trans service members impacts "military readiness" & "unit cohesion."
