Because its smart not to give mentally ill people access to military grade weaponry?

The idea of bringing transgenders into the military had two goals:

1. To provide a form of socialized medicine out of the military budget for anyone who wanted transgender surgery. It would cost a huge amount of taxpayer money.

2. To decrease the already limited amount of money available for renewing the military after the Obama era's drastic cuts, and to damage unit cohesiveness and morale.

It's an anti-military idea all the way.

Of course not, it's a legitimate mental condition known as "Gender Dysphoria".......

But lets celebrate it, promote it and encourage our children to engage in it..........

As a side note, there's another new mental condition that will soon be embraced as normal and that's individuals who choose to remove their own limbs in order to become disabled.

There's an active thread dealing with this new phenomenon.......

Roughly 60% or more of these mentally ill folks would come back to the hospital and want to be changed back .
Its was a new medical scam for second rate MDs and empty surgery rooms since the govt was now paying .

The interesting part of the article is that it is singular, not plural. It fully describes the problems, both mental and physical, of the transgender person. But it fails to touch the base of the real problem Trump’s decision actually covers. That of continuity.

The military in whole, is a machine that runs when all the parts do what they are supposed to do. Some carry guns, some fly aircraft, some sail ships, some drive tanks, some give orders, some take them and adjust to them.......... And anytime a piece of the machine is broken or can’t be trusted to do it’s job due to differences of theory of life or mental problems that affect the decision making part of the machine at any level, the machine is broken. No military.

And mistrust is a major defect of the machine’s ability to operate, especially downrange. Without it, nothing can be done confidently, therefore not competently.

With the surgery, the Biblical term is “eunuch.”

Any so-called doctor who intentionally hormonally deranges or surgically mutilates a mentally unstable patient ought to at least lose his/her license to practice medicine.

I think it qualifies for felony criminal charges of aggravated assault or maiming, at least.

They must have gotten their Ethics unit from Hell University.

From the piece...

We need psychologically fit, emotionally sound, highly trained troops to protect our nation from its enemies.

This is where our focus needs to be.

The Democrats want to take privately owned guns from people it declares “Mentally ill”.

The Democrats want to give military grade arms to people we consider mentally ill.

What is wrong with this picture?

I agree to stop trans-whatever because what’s next? I’m a female and the military should pay for a boob job because I feel mine aren’t big enough? Or a guy want muscle implants to make him more manly? It’s a crazy world, and thank God we have Pres. Trump!!
