I am sick to my stomach. I'm almost glad my father (USMC 1943-65) never saw this.

Worse yet, I can’t see a future Republican administration daring to reverse this ridiculous decision.

Perhaps if I was in the military, then decided I was a dog, they would change the official record to show that indeed, Fido was manning surface to air missiles.

I’m sick to my stomach too, vet.

I never served in the military, sadly I am just not cut out for it. However, I have the utmost respect and love for the men and women who do and have done so.

I know that these are better people than me, and if not for their efforts and sacrifices, I could not live the life that I have lived and enjoyed.

To see this government of ours, which I have no respect for whatsoever, staining our armed forces with their social experiment crapola makes me want to cry.

God bless the United States armed forces.

Utterly nuts.

You can’t change your sex.

It’s a mental disorder and needs to be treated as such, not coddled. Can we make it another three years with this guy?

Think of the pardons he’ll make in his last week in office.

My dad being in WWII and losing his brother in it was upset that Carter pardoned those who avoided the draft in Vietnam (which was very popular at the time) , he (Dad) is lucky to not have lived to see this day.

They should be concerned about readiness, not Political Correctness.

Our military is dying the death of a thousand cuts.

Sick,, there is an actual listed mental illness where people want to aputate body parts unnecessarily. If a homo or lesbian worked where i did, i could work with them as a coworker, even if i wanted nothing to do with them socially.

A transexual is a whole other thing. They are crossing the line into utterly insane.

I had an uncle who served in Viet Nam. He was a First Sgt. in the Army.

I cannot imagine this crap going on in his day.

I think it’s time we face reality.
This change doesn’t really matter.
Combat capability doesn’t really matter.
Readiness doesn’t really matter.

We haven’t fought a war to actually win it since Korea. We’re more than half a century into the habit of not finishing, and that means losing, wars.

As a nation, I doubt we even have it in us, any more, to win a war.
