“The department will carry out the president's policy direction,” Mattis said in a statement last night. “I will establish a panel of experts serving within the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to provide advice and recommendations on the implementation of the president's direction.”
And once the panel gives Mattis its recommendations, he’ll talk to the president about how to turn them into practice.

Well there you go, seems I was fooled by the story I saw. It thought he wasn't going to implement it as he told trans service people they wouldn't be removed from active duty.
Every time I think this Republican adminstration can't be any dumber they do something like this...and totally redeem themselves!
