Trump announces ban on transgender individuals serving in military
- Thread starter Optionpro007
- Start date
Interestingly some of our supposedly "conservative" republican leaders apparently are very much in favor of the trans gender nuttiness. They see nothing odd about having an infantry company being led into battle by a CO who is a man pretending to be a women or vice versa. Or handing over control of a nuclear submarine to someone who has to take powerful drugs to be the person they really want to be. Or forcing young women to shower with a man who considers himself a woman.
That would be John McCain and Orrin Hatch, two fossils who are either so desperate for homo money they will say anything or so blinded by their hatred for Trump they can't think straight. Time to retire both of them, obviously. http://www.breitbart.com/big-govern...nsgender-ideology-slams-donald-trumps-policy/

“Any American who meets current medical and readiness standards should be allowed to continue serving,” said a morning statement by Sen. McCain, who appears to accept the claim that a person’s “gender identity” should be endorsed by the Pentagon and enforced on other soldiers.
“I don’t think we should be discriminating against anyone,” Hatch told USA Today in a statement which seems to accept the claim by transgender advocates that any disagreement with a person’s claim to have an opposite-sex “gender identity” should be treated as illegal discrimination. Hatch continued:
Transgender people are people, and deserve the best we can do for them. I look forward to getting much more information and clarity from our military leaders about the policy the President tweeted today."

As the article notes, it is not just about accommodating some weirdo's desire to be another sex. It affects their fellow service members, who must deal with them and have to consider how reliable they will be in a high stress situation. It's also about forcing those other service people, the normal ones, to sublimate their own deeply held beliefs and have this radical social experiment jammed down their throats. Then add in the enormous medical costs for gender reassignment , ie mutilation, surgery, and the need for expensive lifelong after care. Then there are the inevitable psychological issues, again which will require vast resources to deal with.
The military is not for everyone. It is not a social engineering project, even if Obama did see it that way, nor is it a resource for troubled people who would like the government to fund their life changes. It is a bit shocking that two defense "hawks" apparently don't get those simple points. But it does go a long way in explaining why voters are fed up with the republican party.

Hey guys; I did a year of ROTC so now I'm a full fledged Ranger.
You guys have no reading comprehension skills. He never said he was a soldier, but you guys seem to think that training in a military school for 5 years means nothing. Like all they did was dress up as officers and march around. This was a school. What do you do at a school? You learn? What do you do at a military school? You learn about the military. It's not that hard to comprehend what he was saying.
Here...let's explain it another way. Let's say you have 2 people. 1 guy memorizes the bible, but never preached a day in his life. Another guy maybe read through the bible 2 or 3 times, but preached. Who knows more about the bible...the guy that memorized it, or the guy that read it a few times and then got a job preaching?
It's no wonder you people vote democrat, never understanding what is being said.
If he learned so much at the school then why did he chicken out when he was drafted by making lame excuses?
Lindsay Graham was a JAG lawyer his entire military career. Somehow he feels that makes him an expert of defense matters. By that reasoning a PI lawyer in Fayetteville, NC (home of Ft. Bragg) is qualified to be Sec. of Defense.
Maybe he knew it was a losing war.
