Commenting on the Defense Department's newly released handbook to train the military on how to integrate transgender people into the services, Lt. Gen. (ret.) William "Jerry" Boykin, former chief of U.S. Army Special Operations Command and a top member of Delta Force, said the primary question is how does this transgender social experiment enhance the ability of the U.S. military to fight and win wars?
"Again it comes back to what is the purpose of the military? What’s their mission? It’s to fight and win wars," said Gen. Boykin in an Oct. 5 interview on Washington Watch with host Tony Perkins.
"That’s what Douglas McArthur said at West Point in 1962," said Boykin. "‘Your mission remains determined, fixed, inviolable.’ It is to win the nation’s wars. Ask yourself how does this enhance the ability to win wars?”
Earlier in the interview, Boykin said, “This administration has had a devastating impact on our military readiness. And what the Congress should be doing and the president should be doing now in every decision that’s made regarding the military, is the first question should be how does this enhance readiness? The ability to fight and win the nations wars."
“Every one of these social engineering things comes with a training package," said the retired general. "You need to understand that you’re going to force every man and woman in uniform to sit in a classroom and go through hours and hours of classes every time you throw in a new social experiment."
"And it’s not a one-time thing," he said. "It may be monthly, it may be quarterly, it may be semi-annually but you’re going to spend an awful lot of time that could be used on the code of conduct on preparing for war, you’re going to spend a lot of your training time which is very valuable, doing the programs that come with these social experiments.”
Host Tony Perkins, who is president of the Family Research Council, then said, “I mean the Pentagon spokesperson, the spokesperson for the Pentagon says -- notice they say spokesperson, not spokesman or woman because you just don’t know -- is ‘designed to assist our transgender service members in their gender transitions, help commanders with their duties and responsibilities, and help all service members understand new policies enabling the open service of transgender service members.’”
Gen. Boykin replied, “Again it comes back to what is the purpose of the military? What’s their mission? It’s to fight and win wars. That’s what Douglas McArthur said at West Point in 1962. ‘Your mission remains determined, fixed, inviolable.’ It is to win the nation’s wars. Ask yourself how does this enhance the ability to win wars?”
Back in June, the Defense Department announced that transgender people could now serve openly in the U.S. military.
In a press statement at the time, the DoD said, "Not later than October 1, 2016, DoD will create and distribute a commanders’ training handbook, medical protocol and guidance for changing a service member’s gender in the Defense Eligibility Enrollment System (DEERS). ... Over the course of the next year, the Department will finalize force training plans and implementation guidance, revise regulations and forms, and train the force, including commanders, human resources specialists, recruiters and service members."
The humor of it all would help lighten up the atmosphere on the battlefield.
Three little words: It. Does. Not.
The new mission of the military is to accommodate all sorts of fags.
The sooner we get rid of the queer leaders and perfumed princes in the military, and get back the likes of GEN Boykin and GEN Vallaly, the sooner we can become a nation again, rather than a poor excuse for a bath house with uniforms!!!
It ain’t about fighting the enemy and winning a war. It’s about running away and losing.
THE SOCIAL EXPERIMENT IS JUST THE FIRST STEP! Next we will eliminate our military because they no longer fulfill their mission of fighting and winning wars.
See how simple?
Just like the point of Obamacare was really just to ruin the existing medical system in the US.
The Tranny Platoon...Coming soon to a theater near you.
The left wants them to lose though.
We used to kick the mentally ill out of the military because they were a detriment to the mission.
The enemy will not infiltrate our military bathrooms.
I honestly don't know how / why anyone would serve these days, especially under Madam Hillary Benghazi, who on a political whim, would leave you to be slaughtered.
It's a rough, and tumble fight, but the important part is WIN.
All this other sigh, marks you a looser.
Someone who doesn't even answer his own rhetorical question correctly has zero credibility on his best day.
The U.S. military hasn't been used to win a war in decades. The purpose of the U.S. military today is to serve as a mercenary force that is sold off to foreign governments and corporate interests around the globe.
In a historical context, the U.S. military today is no different than the Hessians in the American Revolution.
So, does a transgender female get PT tested by the requirements for a man or a female, and if they fail the PT test, which standards are used to kick them out?
Obviously, it doesn’t. We don’t need broken brains and sexual dynamics screwing up combat units; they have a tough enough job as it is.
Don’t need girls or gays, don’t need least bidder weapons, don’t need weak males either.
Warfare is essential, critical to our survival and I’m sick of bystanders without the guts to actually serve in war themselves mess up that thin edge that keeps the wolves at bay.
That is an idiotic response - and can only mean that you’ve never been anywhere near our services.
I'm sure General Boykin knows this as well as anybody else who has been paying attention. Our only hope is the horrendous damage they are inflicting is not fatal but can be turned around in time to save our country and our Constitution.
Win wars? You think for a second Obama, Ashton Carter, Ray Mabus or the homosexual Secretary of the Army want to win wars? Time for a reality check!
