WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon's current regulations banning transgender individuals from serving in the military are outdated, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Monday, ordering a six-month study aimed at formally ending one of the last gender- or sexuality-based barriers to military service.

I don’t know. It could be a good plan. Kaitlyn Jenner dressed in a Burqua could polevault over ISIL enemy lines. He/she was good at that in 1976.

It could be our secret weapon.

My thoughts—exactly.

This isn’t that old falling dream—it’s the one where you hit the ground repeatedly and just wonder when the pain will end.

Obama sure seems obsessed with trannies. Leaving your child with an Indonesian tranny nanny is not something a normal parent would ever do. barack's mother was a bizarre clown. some_text

Don’t blame yourself. Nobody would have expected the officers corps to be turned into a bunch of lick-spittles.

I mean, even the WEHRMACHT had people like Von Stauffenburg.

God have mercy.

I am disgusted. I don’t think most people understand what it means when the American military has no moral restraint. Very dark times ahead...

No moral restraint... No paternal instincts... No concept of family... No love of country.

We’re talking about some of the darkest times ever known... dead ahead.

Pray like you’ve never prayed before.

Don’t blame straight Neanderthals for this.

“Tina’s here, we’re getting back together!”

This is beyond appalling. Never thought I’d be glad to be retired. Always assumed the military was a culture apart from the disgusting common way of things. Not any more.

Lessee, there will have to be new bathroom signs:

Men?

Women?

IT?

Both? Because this surely includes the Hermaphrodite community....

I wonder if the Navy will continue to allow their bathrooms to be called "Head." Or will that sound like too much of an invitational environment?

To begin with, as everyone has so aptly pointed out, this is complete lunacy.

aimed at formally ending one of the last gender- or sexuality-based barriers to military service.

It's never the end. I don't know what imaginary barrier will remain after this, but I guarantee there will be one.

When are these assholes going to learn that the US military is not there to provide a basis for their social tinkering.

I want our military a lean, mean, killing machine....gays pansies need not apply.

If I wanted to demoralize the military I would let gays serve openly and allow transgenders to do the same.

If I wanted to demoralize a country I would allow same sex marriage to be legal at the federal level and take that right from the states.

If I wanted to ruin a country I would allow an open border and import hundreds of thousands of refugees from Muslim countries to pollute our towns and ruin our culture; what’s left of it anyway.

The only thing left for them to do is take away our guns so we have no way to protect ourselves from all the deviants and criminals.

We are clearly being destroyed from within. There can be no doubt.

Truly Bizzarro World.

Looks like the Pentagon's leadership is made up of people wearing blinders. A primary consideration for transgenders is that they have a treatable, serious mental illness, that almost never ends well, especially if they have already undergone sexual reassignment surgery.

The question is, should the Pentagon have seriously disturbed people working for them?

The evidence that they are mentally disturbed is overwhelming. Johns Hopkins stopped performing sex reassignment surgery in 1970.

Did the military eliminate the physical endurance tests for new recruits? I can’t imagine any of these “re-gendered” or trans-hormonal individuals getting past the physical, and mental, requirements.

What’s next - pedophiles and rapists?

Not to mention the hormone treatments required to maintain the trans state. Let’s hope the folks at the entry level gates (boot camp, OCS, etc.) have the guts to do what is right and wash these people out at the beginning.
