"But studies and other surveys have estimated that as many as 15,000 transgender people serve in the active-duty military and the reserves, often in secret but in many cases with the knowledge of their unit commander or peers."

I call total BS on this figure. There's an intitial physical where you're checked rather intimately, and when I was in, we had community showers for all in boot camp. These folks would have been discovered right off the bat and cashiered out.

Pray like you’ve never prayed before.

Yes, dark times are indeed looming and this is yet another sign that we are entering the End Times. The battle will be spiritual and we need to pray to God for discernment and guidance.

I was reading Rev.11&12 last night. I’m really starting to think the US could be the beast.

theres a dead giveaway in the language these people used

"I call total BS on this figure."

"studies and other surveys have estimated..."

Since when do studies ESTIMATE??

What sort of SURVEY did they engage in?

Your call is dead on the monet!

I for one do not believe they can actuallu be planning to allow certifiable people in the military.

I sense it;s propaganda.

WHY they’d engage in this manner of propaganda...remains unclear

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 the military I would suggest....that gays serve openly and allow transgenders to do the same."



even the suggestion is too bizarre to be taken seriously

what must be taken seriously is the intent behind the suggestion

To: Amish with an attitude

earlier this afternoon...as I was out looking for photographs,that needed making....it struck me that this alleged intention seems so outlandish as to be.
impossible.

SUbsequently it struck me that perhaps the real plan has nothing whatsoever to do with the military at ll but might more likely be something of a broad plan to propagandie the populace in favor of this so called transgenderism

what the ultimate goal might be..I dont know

Talked all my children out of it. My daughter is on the fence she loves being a. Military brat. But with out major shifts, these institutional changes will,destroy my once proud service. I worked with outstanding gay service members for thirty years never turned one in. Never denied one a good report. But they are now a protected class in the military and are going after anyone who disagrees on religious grounds, very sad, but USA military no place for white, heterosexual, Christian males.
