“I
do think it continually should be reviewed," (Hagel) told ABC's Martha
Raddatz. “I'm open to those assessments, because, again, I go back to the
bottom line, every qualified American who wants to serve our country should
have an opportunity if they fit the qualifications and can do it." *(see

*Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Sunday he believes the military's ban
on transgender Americans serving in the armed forces "should be reviewed." *
*While the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy was repealed in 2010,
transgender individuals are **still** prohibited from serving. *
*In an interview with **ABC's "This Week,"** Hagel said he's "open" to
reconsidering the ban. *
*...Hagel said his biggest area concern with reforming the policy is being
able to provide medical support to transgender troops, especially for those
in what he called "austere locations." *
*Earlier this year, an independent commission led by former U.S. surgeon
general Dr. Joycelyn Elders found there is no "**compelling medical reason**"
for the ban.*
*"We determined not only that there is no compelling medical reason for the
ban, but also that the ban itself is an expensive, damaging and unfair
barrier to health care access for the approximately 15,450 transgender
personnel who serve currently in the active, Guard and reserve components,"
read the commission's report.*
