'I would like to see them try to kick me out of my military': Transgender service members remain...

FULL TITLE: 'I would like to see them try to kick me out of my military': Transgender service members remain defiant in the face of Trump's ban

Dozens of Transgender members of the US military have spoken out after President Donald Trump said they would be barred from serving 'in any capacity' on Wednesday.

'I would like to see them try to kick me out of my military,' US Air Force Staff Sgt. Logan Ireland told the Air Force Times.

A Marine military police officer who asked not to be named also told the Times: 'I have never described myself as trans; I'm a motherf***ing Marine. That's all that matters. Don't tarnish my title with your bigotry and fear of the unknown.'

During the last year of the Obama administration, former Defense Secretary Ash Carter instituted a policy allowing transgender people to serve openly in the military.

But he also gave the military a year to come up with a way to implement the policy.

On Wednesday morning, Trump was intent on reversing that policy, sending out a series of tweets saying transgender people wouldn't be allowed to serve in the U.S. military 'in any capacity'.

'After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow.. transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military.

Simple - make it a disqualification for enlistment and/or reenlistment. The vast majority will be gone within 4 years and very few will remain after 6 years.

Which Article of the UCMJ is it that covers violations connected to "good order and discipline"?

Message to this freak....accept an honorable discharge (although you clearly don't deserve one) or prepare for the consequences.

I see an issue with POWs. We’d expect continued and monitored treatments under the Geneva Convention?

The costs continue under the VA, until death (or a change of mind) which occurs earlier.

Thank you President Trump.

Another Obama reversal.

Now lets get religion back into the military. Obama screwed that up, too.

So because YOU thought it would be a good idea to have your penis cut off YOU are saying YOU would disobey an order.

Thank you for your former service; but I’m glad you’re not in active service now.

And that study suggests that many of that number are not on hormones or post surgical since they offer estimates of how many may elect to do those things in the next year. So a certain # may just have the inclination and can button it up so to speak.

A key word is openly.

Under Don't ask; Don't tell nobody knew what the person beside you was.

There were two gays in my unit in Vietnam and others in the unit did not know it because they did not advertise it.

Then a 3rd gay came to my unit who was not only open, but aggressively proselytizing for everyone to service him and let him service them. He forced the two in the closet gays out in the open. Most others in my unit were surprised at the revelation... but would not believe it ... and insisted on keeping their former views of those in the closet.

Now if a Tranny is in the closet, how would one know?

Your math is off. .0018

Saw the high end estimate was 6000 of 1.3 million or .004%

Heard a number yesterday of some 6,000.
____________

Yeah, so did I. Also heard the number 7,000 referencing the attendees at the Trump rally, then saw clips that put it at 20,000.

These people on the left are reflexive liars who also somehow think assertions are reality. Like the assertions: “Not my President.” “I will not comply.” “I will not leave my position, even after being dismissed.”

Of all our institutions, the military has the strictest hierarchy. There is a chain of command and a sworn duty to follow lawful orders. At the top of the chain is the CinC. At the bottom are enlisted troops. A Staff Sergeant may have attained a supervisory position with that enlisted tier, but is still subject to the chain of command. This person is publicly defiant of the basic tenants of the military. I think the organizations has protocols for such a situation.

Implement them.

I think the willingness to harm the Commander-In-Chief and fellow soldiers over perceived gender is proof that its’ “me first” for these people who apparently have forgotten that such talk is grounds to be sent home.

BTW, doncha just LOVE the way the Media is trying to portray trannys as the toughest people in the military?
Dollars to donuts for every legit “tough” tranny, there are 10,000 more serving who are tougher and would be GLAAD to take them up on their offer.

Let these folks get all hyper. The more hyper, the more of a distraction and the more reason to kick them out.

With new recruits, have a question on the application. If they answer yes, then don’t accept them. If later on it turns out they lied on the application, then it’s reason enough to kick them out.

BTW, a young friend is finally getting his assignment. He’s all man and likes women.

Sorry your math is off

6000/1,300,000 = 6/1,300 approx 1 in 200 = 0.005 = 0.5%
