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

Just like "armor piercing" bullets, "assault weapons", "global warming" and "gay"individuals. The MSM has successfully changed the terminology in order to change public perception............

Gays are just HOMOSEXUALS, and TRANSGENDERS are individuals who suffer from a known mental condition known as "GENDER DYSPHORIA"...........

we have tons of reasons not to allow transgenders in the military....

maybe least of which, but just as important in my opinion is that we the taxpayers can not afford to have transgenders in the military because then we're on the hook for all their surgeries and meds and counseling etc....

its unfathomable to accommodate them...

God bless them, I wish them a good life, but enough is enough...

tell you what...when they let me, and my white 63 yro old body play in the NBA, then transgenders are welcome in the military...

Very few, if any at all, who are bitchin g about Trump’s tweet served on the military. I don’t count McCain because he’s a nut case

.He's more than a nut case, he's a man with a brain tumor. How is it okay to allow a man with a brain tumor to be in a position to make high level decisions or be a part of the Legislature.

I have MS, I don't have a brain tumor, but I do have brain lesions. And if there is an exacerbation of certain lesions, it can do a number on my cognitive skills, and normal brain related activities. A month ago I had an exacerbation and I could not make a comprehendible sentence, I could not perform regular functions and figure out how to do something I knew how to do the day before, and a couple weeks now down the road I'm able to do. I could not look at a work written on a paper and be able to type it on the computer, extremely frustrating, but after 2 weeks I was fine with the same tasks...my point is, how do they know his tumor hasn't affected his cognition.

“...What “ideals” are involved here?....”

Libs try to legitimize issues that are not normal such as “gay is ok in the military”.
Or add credence to issues that are deranged such as “transgenderism is ok in the military”.
They themselves suffer from mental derangement while pushing their BS. The have these sick ideas that they insist on pushing on society to accept as “normal”. Well, shazamm!!!! Guess what? It isn’t “normal” and a high-stress combat situation brings it all out to bear. It’s that kind of BS that gets people killed just as the OP so eloquently stated.
