Something just dawned on me - are women in the military the next trump* target?

After all, women give birth, while on active duty, so that is an extra medical cost. And I'm sure he could come up with a few more 'rationalizations' for why females are a drain on military resources. Everything he is doing is irrational and vindictive, so nothing, and I mean NOTHING would surprise me.

Military service in exchange for visa/citizenship...on average from 2010 to 2016 , appoximately 18,700 immigrants are currently serving in the military, and are on active duty (foxnews.com 4/3/2017; jkolb.) According to Kolb, eltrumpf will continue allowing immigrants to serve in military in exchage visa/citizenship...fast track to citizenship.

.... That is, until he does't, depending where the wind blows! Ps. Fast track to citizenship requires one year of continual service. A list of requiremts and additional information can be found @CitizenPath.

A tweet is not a policy change. There is a process for changing military personnel regulations and this ain't it.

Remember, this is Trump tweeting. Just because he says something doesn't mean it's so. He's just as likely to say something completely different tomorrow. This tweet was just a play to quiet Session's right-wing supporters. It's not important for placating Session's supporters that he actually DO something - they're happy enough for Trump to simply spew some hate.
