Obama’s promised “fundamental transformation” of America isn’t over yet. The US military is still capable of winning battles, even if Obama’s policies prevent it from winning wars. Consequently the Community Organizer in Chief still has work to do:
Having already lifted the “don’t ask, don’t tell” ban on gays in the military, the Pentagon “likely will” allow transgendered Americans to serve openly in the military where 15,500 now secretly serve, according to a new report issued by top former generals.
It’s amazing that there are 15,500 transsexuals secretly serving in the military — until you realize they have no idea how many may be secretly serving, and pulled this number out of their ears.
Three of the top brass, endorsing the deployment of transgendered troops, also said their effort has the support of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and President Obama.
That I don’t doubt.
Good thing the purpose of the military is no longer to win wars. Under liberal rule, it is a combination make-work jobs program and social engineering laboratory. The enemy within is reducing the greatest fighting force in human history to a freak show.
Which way is the front?
Don’t hate us just because we’re FABULOUS.
Wait until Achmed and MoHAMmed get a load of these clowns! LOL!
Are they all in the same troop? Think about it!
Now Moochelle can join the military!
Israel -
Military service[edit]
See also: Sexual orientation and military service
Openly gay, lesbian, and bisexual soldiers serve without hindrance in all branches of the military. Discrimination against gay, lesbian, and bisexual soldiers in recruitment, placement and promotion is prohibited in Israel.[19] Harassment on the grounds of sexual orientation is also prohibited in the Israeli military. The military recognizes same-sex couples, including widows and widowers of the same-sex.[20] Soldiers are also allowed to participate in Gay Pride Parades.[21]
Since 1993,[22] homosexuals have been allowed to serve openly in the military, including special units. This is change in the initial policy, which tended to view homosexuality as a mental illness.
In 1956, two male soldiers were put on military trial on charges of homosexual sexual intercourse, then defined as sexual conduct “against nature” and were convicted to a military prison sentence of one year, but the punishment was reduced on the grounds that homosexuality should be defined as a mental illness and not a crime. At the time, many mental health professionals did view homosexuality to be an illness and, at the time, it was considered to be liberal to treat homosexuality as disability rather than as a crime.
In the 1960s, legal opinions by the Israeli Attorney General and the Supreme Court limited the application of the criminal laws against homosexuality, but the prevailing notion that homosexuality was a disease remained. In the 1960s – 1993, gays, lesbians and bisexuals were not formally exempt or banned from military service, but the anti-gay criminal laws remained on the books, their sexual orientation was still classified as a mental illness, which limited their role within the military, and there was no protection from anti-gay discrimination or harassment in the military.
Until the 1980s, the commanders still had to report to the military psychiatric department about homosexual soldiers, despite the fact that psychological and psychiatric organizations in Israel and worldwide had, since the 1970s, stopped viewing homosexuality as a mental illness.
In 1993, the Israeli Parliament revised the military rules so that gay, lesbian and bisexual Israelis can serve openly and on an equal footing with their heterosexual counterparts.
The Israeli Defense Forces currently does not consider Gender Dysphoria to be a disqualifying condition for service. Furthermore, the IDF considers certain transition-specific medical treatment (Hormone Replacement Therapy and Sex Reassignment Surgery) and counseling to be medically necessary for those diagnosed with transsexualism and thus pays for said treatments. The IDF also determines gender specific army regulations (length of service, which gender to be housed with, whether they are to wear a male or female uniform, etc.) on a case by case basis for its transgender soldiers. However, given that Israeli law makes it difficult for its transsexuals to begin transition until they reach 18, the draft age, and does not normally allow for Sex Reassignment Surgery to be performed before the age of 21, no soldier has yet to first begin treatment for transition and additionally have SRS while serving in the IDF. Furthermore, many draftees diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria can and elect to receive exemption from military service at their own request.[23]
Today, Israeli youth who are exempt from military service can volunteer for national service. Since June 2006, The Association of Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, and Transgenders in Israel (Agudah) qualifies for such service.[24] However, a steadily increasing number of gay recruits do full military service, often in combat units. Unit 8200, one of the largest units in the Israeli army, is well known for the large number of uncloseted LGBT soldiers serving in it.[25]
In 2013, the IDF announced they would, for the first time, allow a (MTF) transgender woman to serve in the army as a female soldier.[26]

Romans 9
i wonder if obama is deliberately handing over gays to be slaughtered by muslims. he wants the whole corp to be full of donut punchers and carpet munchers and shims, those people are gonna just get butchered by the muslims if/when caught.
Sending the mentally ill into stress...nothing could go wrong there. Nope. All peachy.
So the girly men who want to be considered female, will be treated as women, housed with women and not given front line duty?
Here is a letter written in 1994, by the 2012 GOP nominee for President, and possible candidate for 2016.
“”One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share.
As we begin the final phase of this campaign, I need your support more than ever. By working together, we will achieve the goals we share for Massachusetts and our Nation.””
Sincerely,
W. Mitt Romney
Thank you.
Thank you.
They say IA and NH can’t wait to vote again for Romney, just not in the general election.
I think the polls now are just people recognizing a name, they are meaningless.
Obama is turning the military into a pervert’s paradise.
Oh, what fun !!!
