Army chaplain under investigation for calling transgender soldiers 'mentally unfit' to serve
Officials are investigating a Texas Army chaplain after he suggested in a social media post that transgender soldiers were “mentally unfit” and “unqualified to serve.”
Maj. Andrew Calvert made the comments on a military newspaper’s Facebook page on Monday, the same day President Joe Biden signed an executive order lifting a ban on transgender people serving openly in the military, according to officials. He is a chaplain with the 3rd Security Force Assistance Brigade in Fort Hood.
