Klinger failed even back then, but only because no one took him seriously. Today, they would threaten to cut things off without sending him home, and he's switch back to his uniform because he wasn't mentally ill enough to believe in his act.

WASHINGTON — Transgender individuals will be able to openly serve in the U.S. armed forces, Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced Thursday. The new policy will be phased in over a one-year period and, effective immediately, servicemembers may no longer be involuntarily separated, discharged or denied reenlistment solely on the basis of gender identity, according to a Department of Defense news release. Servicemembers currently on duty will be able to serve openly. At one year, the services will begin allowing transgender individuals to join the armed forces, assuming they meet accession standards. Gender identity will also not be considered a bar to admission to a military service academy, for participation in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps or any other accession program, if the individual meets the new criteria. “This is the right thing to do for our people and for the force,” Carter said in a news release issued shortly before the formal announcement. “We’re talking about talented Americans who are serving with distinction or who want the opportunity to serve.” The new policy also establishes a construct to let servicemembers transition gender while serving and sets standards for medical care. news@stripes.com
That sums it up.
For now! But if Prezzy illary well...
Congress regulates the military and the president is the commander in chief. Congress should enforcement e it’s regulations already enacted that forbid this.
The constitution does not give the president his own personal army. Commander in chief means he makes operational decisions.
Klinger will have to create a new rouse...
Anyone see Dr Lynette Nusbacher on the History channel/ American Hero Channel formally know as Aryeh Judah Schoen Nusbacher on the show Conspiracy ? OMG
So the “forearm” is too close to the elbow or wrist here?
They probably had to pull the trigger early on this, so we’d all forget about the Phoenix Phix.
MASH was a fairly liberal show, and even those writers knew how absurd this was.
While Putin replaces Admirals and places troops so he can take The Baltic and the EU/Obama will never notice

“This has not been thought out.”

A Transgender captured in battle will end up a woman in about 5 seconds
"I was bored."
The bastards are desperately trying to get as much toothpaste out of the tube as possible in the next six month. I just hope the military can slow roll this ridiculous social experiment so that President Trump can still undo it.
This will not help us to identify, locate, and destroy the enemy.
With a double side of in your face humiliation to all Christians.
Close enough. :-P
Our enemies see us as a decadent society to be cleansed from the earth. Government funded dickendectomies producing a fierce fighting force of wild Eunuchs. Reminiscent of the Jannisary Eunuchs who fought for the Ottomons. It all makes sense.
Maybe, but considering how desperate 0bama is to cement his legacy, I doubt it.
BTW, the GOP had a chance to stop this a few years back ... they could have held fast on DADT. Being scared to death of being accused of 'homophobia' by the media and the 'Rats, they caved like they always do.
This is deliberate destruction of the military.
