By COREY DICKSTEIN AND CAITLIN M. KENNEY | STARS AND STRIPES Published: January 25, 2021 WASHINGTON President Joe Biden on Monday ended the Pentagon’s ban on most transgender men and women joining the military, fulfilling a campaign promise to undo one of President Donald Trump’s signature Pentagon policies. Biden issued an executive order Monday that allows all qualified Americans to serve in the military, regardless of their gender identity. “President Biden believes that all gender identity should not be a bar to military service, and that America’s strength is found in its diversity,” according to a White House statement. “Allowing all qualified Americans to serve their country in uniform is better for the military and better for the country because an inclusive force is a more effective force. Simply put, it’s the right thing to do and is in our national interest.”
