Again, thanks to the Omaha World Herald and many NE GOPe for wholeheartedly supporting UpChuck to be SecDef. Morons.
What the H3LL is wrong with this administration? Make it stop!
Oh hell yea, we don’t have anything else to do. Review away.
Can’t wait for the new uniforms to accomodate the he/she’s!!!
They are not even debating how to get transgenders in, only how soon. Can you imagine the psychological mess these people are in already before they have access to weapons?
Right.
Take people with a hormone dependency and put them in an environment requiring self-sufficiency.
Take people with the state of mind to ellectively receive serious self-mutilation, and then give them control of our deadliest weapons, and expect them to have the perspective of when/when not to use that deadly force.
Take people with significant psycological issues (likely to include problems with authority figures like parents) and expect them to obey unpopular orders.
What could go wrong?
Join the military and get...
A career, a free college education, and a sex change operation costing $250,000.00!
In 10 years the military will look like a fruit farm.
Wait for the first drag queen general or admiral. ‘Won’t be long now.
Chuckie must be fond of having guys around him that are dressed up like women. Kinky and less threatening. Hey! Whatever blows your skirt up Chuck!!!
I see two sides to this. While not common, there are birth defects where someone has external genitalia that do not match their internal genitalia; as well as true hermaphrodites; as well as those with incorrect prenatal brain gender determination.
The latter group are particularly difficult, as they evidence the wrong gender even before puberty, and experience severe stress because of it. Even Saudi Arabia recognizes the need for gender reassignment in some cases like this.
But these are all gender assignment or reassignment in children. By the time they are old enough to join the military they have a determined gender.
However, adults who become transgender are almost always very mentally unbalanced, like Private Manning. As such, it is not the transgenderism that is their problem, but their overall psychological profile. To be so mentally unhinged that in adulthood you change your gender almost guarantees that you are not suitable for military service.
People who are that screwed-up in the head have about as much business in the military as Chuck Hagel has being defense secretary.
