Washington, DC – U.S. Rep. Brian Babin (TX-36) issued the following statement today in response to the Obama Administration’s new policy to allow transgender individuals to openly serve in the military: 

“This is yet another needless distraction by this President that puts his personal liberal social agenda ahead of military preparedness and training. The military should not be used as a vehicle for the Obama Administration’s social experiments. Our troops and their military leaders already have enough challenges on their plate.  This Administration’s focus should be on ensuring our military has the necessary tools and resources it needs to defeat our enemies and keep Americans safe—not liberal social engineering that only harms our already neglected military.”
