today the white house referring questions to the pentagon, the pentagon referring questions back here all have the air of somebody trying to change the subject. the white house struggling tonight to answer questions about president trump's surprise announcement, forbidding transgender americans from serving in the u.s. military. the president reversing an obama administration policy with little explanation, saying on twitter, after consultation with my generals and military experts, please be advised the united states government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the u.s. military. those words surprised many at the pentagon and sparked confusion that the new white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders had trouble officiating. >> the rest were informed as well as the national security team that had been part of this ongoing conversation. >> reporter: the white house unable to clarify whether transgender service members would be removed from their post. >> that's something the members of defense and the white house will have to work on to

the pentagon papers estimated 280,000 communist fighters byr 1966. about 1,001,862. the insurers and he was very rapidly growing. there was also an act that uprising in south vietnam which included three monks who had set themselves on fire come images broadcast of america's living room. the u.s. under the opposition to it was rising. but they understand why there is opposition to the u.s. backed south vietnamese regime. but they thought the behavioral scientists could help them in and peered so one of these people at the pentagon in vietnam was used among psychotherapist to help understand the reasons for the growing resentment of the united states in the u.s. backed south vietnamese regime.e.so f so far to ink blotches has failed to yield any insights in the viet cong fighter. they asked the viacom decided to go throw the cards cards andnd identify something. then he asked anything that reminded him. nothing again. being interviewed by a man about a sex life in a separate dissent. they find pictures and they liked or didn't like. the imprisoned men most reluctant t

the pentagon is scrambling to figure this out. the secretary of defense is on vacation but all the other staff here was proceeding apace this transgender policy would go into effect, they would figure out some way to make it work. as you mentioned, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff just last month said there are transgender personnel, americans, serving honorably, already in the services. now, the estimates from the pentagon based on a study is about 7,000 current in the armed services on the upper end of the estimates, 7,000 transgendered individuals. last year, they were told they can serve openly and the pentagon would figure out some sort of way to accommodate them to be more closely identified with the gender with which they identify. there's another separate part of that, and that's the ones that are serving. the other side of the equation is new recruits. the pentagon has struggled on how to implement that, and that's something secretary mattis last month announced a delay on. here's the north star, though, for matt

the pentagon is refers us to the white house for official statements. they don't look at it as official policy yet. they think of it as aspirational how will they do that, because there is a justice argument for those americans serving their military, told by their commander in chief that they could come out, be honest, and identify with the gender they relate to. that is an issue separate from the readiness one and one that i expect will be discussed here in quite a bit. >> one member said i think i just got fired on twitter. so another bit of uncertainty. kristen welker at the white house, thank you many thanks to all of you. in any moments, we'll see the first press conference briefing. sarah huckabee sanders, the president's nonstop twitter attacks. chances are, the last time you got a home loan, you got robbed. i know-- i got a loan 20 years ago, and i got robbed. that's why i started lendingtree-- the only place you can compare up to 5 real offers side by side, for free. it's like shopping for hotels online, but our average customer can save twent

let's go to hans nichols at the pentagon. hans, here we are, american heroes week and it sounds like the president has just defined who he now believes are heroes. >> this has been a complicated process for the pentagon to work through. there are about 250 currently transgendered individuals that have indicated they want to go through some sort of transition process. just at the end of last month, there is sort of asked for a delay from the navy, the pentagon, the army, the air force, asking for a delay for new recruits, those that identified as transgendered and haven't -- actually want to join the military, want to serve the country, but they're trying to figure out a way how to do that. it appears that president trump is going to put all these discussions on ice. right now the discussion is still at the pentagon between the deputy secretary of defense and the service chiefs. we'll see if president trump's short circuits all this. just to give you a quick overview, it was the previous secretary of defense, ash carter, last

pentagon in a few minutes? >> i am told the president will be here for about 90 minutes for what the military likes to call a global force lay down, meaning a look at all of the trouble spots around the world where u.s. troops are engaged, he will be greeted by jim at 317 and returned to the pentagon, in fact, mattis just greeted rex tiller's and who arrived moments ago, and then he will walk and inside, that is where they have their most secret discussions, that is where they will walk him around the world and speak with him about where the military is engaged in operations, there are no announcements or press conferences expected, he will then take the hands of service members across the rope line. >> sandra: is this a strategy meeting? >> in some ways yes, there are reports that he was given an outline of the afghan strategy, defense secretary jim mattis, and a secretary of state tillerson it briefs the entire senate yesterday on the isis strategy on the request of the senate, a similar meeting will take pla

generals mcmaster took the place of flynn also in general and again if the pentagon feels that they have a blank check and i do really believe they feel that they can do almost anything then we don't know and of course does make masters absence means that the pentagon's not on board again we don't really know there could be one part of a pentagon strategy towards syria which is to intervene with some limited cease fire agreements like the one in southwest syria again signed by russia iran russia united states in jordan not syria. as a precursor to a larger intervention elsewhere in syria again i think the pentagon really believes that they are going to be or to stay in syria perhaps still the goal will be regime change ultimately against the assad government but minimally to have a zone of influence within so why would they believe anything else if you know we've been at official and at war in afghanistan for years now we still have troops there it seems the military just gets to stay wherever it wants but twitter and the mainstream media have framed friday's meeting between trump a
