If these cadets passed all the physical and educational tests, they should be allowed to get their commissions and full service in the military. Why not? What are you wimpy men afraid of that you can’t serve with transgender people? There have been gays, Muslims, blacks and probably transgenders in the military forever, you just didn’t know it. Toni LeAnn Williams

These cadets must be allowed to fight in combat. I’m sure that Islamic State of Iraq and Syria terrorists will be very intimidated by our transgender warriors. Gen. Patton must be smiling at what our military is becoming. Donovan Farr

Why did our government use taxpayer money to pay for these cadets’ education if they knew they would not permit these cadets to be commissioned? This is just another example of the government not caring how it wastes taxpayer money. John Boeger
