Rep. Joe Kennedy, D-Mass., third from right, listens during an event in support of transgender members of the military, Wednesday, July 26, 2017, on Capitol Hill in Washington, after President Donald Trump said he wants transgender people barred from serving in the U.S. military "in any capacity," citing "tremendous medical costs and disruption."

WASHINGTON

Five transgender service members serving on active duty sued President Donald Trump on Wednesday over his directive to ban them from the U.S. military.

It is the first legal action against the president's policy change, which he announced in a series of tweets on July 26. The unnamed service members, who are referred to as “Jane Doe,” are serving in the Air Force, Army and the Coast Guard. Some have served as long as two decades, including tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Five are suing?

Some led us to believe there are or have been thousands of transgender troops serving. Why then would there only five suing?

Then maybe they shouldn't risk their retirement.
