I served in Iraq in 2006. For the first five months I was on a 12 man firebase out in the middle of nowhere in the desert.

Everyday was Groundhog Day. Wake up and do the same patrols, the same shifts, every single day. It was so damn hot. 150° in the gun trucks.

Tracer fire would go overhead occasionally at night. IED's on the road were a daily threat. We got resupplied food every 8 days.

QRF was an hour away. After they made the minimum three gun truck rule after the guys got kidnapped, life got harder.

The stress of being out there and doing the same job every single day eats away at you. The younger guys had problems with that overtime.

After stepping on each other's nuts living in the same can for five months, guys were at each other's throats. The stress made it worse.

Guys would literally snap over a dear John letter. Their personal issues came out and they were instantly combat ineffective.

Now take someone confused about whether they are a man/woman. Take those psychological and emotional issues and put them in that environment

“Everyday was Groundhog Day.”
I am not sure how much people understand that is true, Everyday was Groundhog Day. You get into these ruts that you only know what day of the week it is looking at your watch or calendar. You basically do the same thing every day.
Same reason women and queers don’t belong, either.
This confusion just doesn’t apply to trannies. But also to the average homo.
If you have serious mental issues that affects your basic human nature which results in homosexuality, then you are unfit for duty.
Not just military duty. But unfit for duty in life period.
Crossdressing does not change gender.
Its a simple rule, men dress as men, girls dress as girls.
Its funny what libs believe.
It’s simple. This isn’t anti-LGBT, it’s simply reality. The military isn’t about joining to show your individuality, it’s about blending in. The uniform. The haircut. The regulations. It’s all about blending into a team, a unit. Being a cog in the machine.
If you are so wrapped up in your individuality that you need to be different - fine. This is America, be whatever you are, however, you should not be a soldier. That is about being the same, a part in the machine. GTFO of the army and do what you want. It’s that simple.
It’s the USO ?

I have never been in a war situation. If I was I would not want to have to rely on a person???? who does not know who they are. If this is the only thing the president accomplishes this month it is a lot.
Some gay judge(s) will declare themselves to be “The Commander In Chief” and Congress will once again fail to bring said judge(s) to heel.
To the Left, the military is simply another government “program” that they can use to advance their social agenda. Combat effectiveness is never a concern.
If they stopped and thought about the military’s intended use, their heads would explode.
How come when this is discussed, nobody ever brings up the poster boy for transgenders in the military, Bradley Manning?
Great testimony from someone who should have a microphone and media around him. But no, the microphones and media are saved for liberal politicians, actors, singers, gays, trannies and Bill Nye. These are people from whom testimony is worthless if not outright witchery.
I have talked to people who lived around “transgenders” and some of the stories are quite scary. I actually got this in a E-mail a year or two ago when the tranny in the military debate first started.
Excerpt Begins:
” One time me and my friend ( who is a transgender male to female ) was at a store and we were browsing around when a little old lady came up behind my friend to ask them to help get something off a high shelf. and I am paraphrasing here: “Excuse me sir, could you help me with getting ( i forget what the item was ) off that shelf?”
Well my friend flew the complete “hell off the handle” as they whipped around and went on a five minute tirade saying things like “Do I look like a man?” and “Are you f**ing blind?” in a very aggressive manner. The poor old lady looked stunned as she was just innocently asking someone for help only to be verbally lashed out at by this “woman” that if she had any doubt about gender she knew for sure at this point that is was a man in a dress due to the aggressive nature of the lashing out she was receiving.
I remember standing there stunned as if just witnessing a Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde moment. I remember thinking that if only my friend had just turned around and used some damned charm instead of flying off the handle and trying to FORCE their idea of how they should be referred to a kindly old lady. An old lady who just wanted something off a shelf and wasn’t consciously or maliciously thinking about the gender expression of the person she was asking.
After that day I took steps to slowly distance myself from that person so that I didn’t “dump them” but instead just lost contact with them via attrition. I didn’t want to wake that horrible dragon up that I saw that day in the store on accusations that I stopped being their friend because they were “trans” instead the real reason was because I saw how unhinged they could be for the dumbest and most innocent of reasons. It was like if anyone “appeared” to question their own self validation, even if it was an innocent mistake, they could fly off the handle. This wasn’t like someone with a short emotional fuse, but instead someone with a volatile emotional hair trigger.
A couple of months after the “incident” in the store I was talking to my cousin who is a tall woman who lives in the country and I told her the story. She laughed after I told her about it and i asked her why she laughed. She told me that sometimes after she does her chores on the farm she sometimes stops in at the local Wal-Mart to either pickup fixins for supper or things like motor oil for her husband. She said her chore clothes are overalls and she packs her hair into a hat to keep it clean, and that one day a little old lady came up to her from behind while she was in the store and asked “SIR” for some help getting something off a high shelf. She turned around and the little old lady apologized saying something like: “Oh I’m sorry ma’am”. She said she just smiled at the old lady and said “oh, don’t worry, it happens all the time because I am tall” and they both had a good laugh about it and went their separate ways after she had retrieved the item for the sweet old lady. After she told me this I thought how different that embarrassing experience could have been had she handled it like a genuine person would have.
I have talked to other people who have been acquainted to “trans” people and the one common thing that I have discovered is that if you ask enough people they all have stories of trans people flying off the handle when someone else innocently “mis-genders” them. People wonder why I consider trans people in the military such a bad idea. I just have tell them this story and how what would happen if a foxhole if someone under fire accidentally “mis-genders” their fellow soldier. Talk about an “un-friendly fire” situation... I mean i consider myself a progressive, but this incident I personally experienced and further collaborated similar incidents with other people who I would consider progressive as well leads me to think that there is a serious risk of having someone with a such an issue in any sort of military situation. I have to say “NO” to allowing transgender people in the military, they need to get their lives sorted out first and foremost and the military is not a place for them to be doing that.
Excerpt Ends:
So yeah, this is from someone I know who is a “progressive liberal” who agrees with Trump on this issue, even though I am 100% sure they didn’t vote for Trump. I think just the whole idea of someone flying off the handle even if someone inadvertently calls them with a gender pronoun they don’t agree with is really scary, especially in the military.
Because nobody wants to talk about the impact of six years of torture in prison might have on the equation?
They belong in an insane asylum. Gender dysphoria is a recognized mental disorder, but apparently it's the only one the American Psychiatric Association says should be treated by enabling it. It's like telling a bulimic to just keep on shoving a finger down his or her throat.
Thank you, President Trump, for giving our sick, perverted, insane society a much needed dash of cold water to the face. Now, get women out of combat arms, and get the homos out of the service altogether (the biggest reason being the safety of the blood supply).
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
