The return of the warrior ethos. Long overdue.
Praise Jesus, a voice of sanity and righteousness in the White House.
God is not mocked, may he be glorified.
Let the Rat Party headquarters be staffed exclusively by these freaks if they wish...but the Armed Forces are off limits to such lunacy.
Hooray!
I’m looking forward to the followup, and the flurry of lawsuits and “judges” opinions unconstitutionally taking control of the Executive’s duty to run the military.
What will be done with the members who have ‘come out’ thanks to Obama? Will they be allowed to stay in?
Trannies??....these are freaks as far as I'm concerned. They're egomaniacs and all about disruption.
65 million will be outraged over this; I wonder if Congress will force him to retreat on this.
Good job
GOOD!
A man is a man, woman is a woman no matter how they mutilate themselves. Enough confusion already!
I fully agree with the President on this regarding most front-line military positions. The bathroom/other issues that are unique to transgenders are distracting (like a soldier being pregnant) to Units’ readiness and op tempo. I do think there can be roles which transgenders can fill in the military and that these should be considered as they are human beings with various talents/weaknesses just like the rest of us. I am saddened to see such much bigotry/hatred towards gays/lesbians/transgenders. They are like the Pharisees and anti-Christs in the New Testament who despised the publicans, Samaritans, people with leprosy, and others who were humble. Such people, even the ones who do so ignorantly, make me sad. In closing we should never make any special accommodations for any military roles’ necessary requirements as the only responsibility of the military is to always be as reasonably ready to win battles/wars. The best thing our military can do for Transgenders is fulfill this responsibility because its the best hope of protecting the rights/freedoms of Transgenders and everyone. If we lose battles/wars then the Transgenders may lose everything.
Fantastic! Get the freaks out!
Good! Accommodating these other like types is a huge distraction and detriment to military readiness, not to mention the cost of ongoing maintenance.
The absolutely deranged reaction from the left is proof positive that this is an incredibly fantastic decision.
Finally. Sanity.
IMHO, the big issue is paying for sex-change surgeries and drugs, which should most assuredly NOT be charged to American taxpayers.
If a trannie is already in the service and doing a good job, I don’t see a huge problem. Of course, I spent ten years in SanFran and eventually (but not right away) had a few gay guys as friends,, so I’m probably more liberal on that issue than some here. I do know that gay men and straight men and women can be friends, can rely on one another, can work together.
I’m a woman, have three lesbian neighbors in my large senior apartment complex, and two of them are perfectly fine, helpful neighbors—one was a marine for 15 years. The third one is on psych meds and can be scary. She was, btw, a marine too, and she’s very Christian...Jesus and No Abortion bumper stickers all over her car.
I can’t judge any of this on moral and/or humanitarian grounds, but I can say NO to paying for Trannie surgery/pills/maintenance.
Rescinding Obama’s command to degrade and humiliate our fighting forces by ordering another nut with a level one mental disease have access to a weapon with live ammo to kill more of our own.
Eight years of daily negative with Obama was too much to take. He did horrible damage to the USA, our country, our culture, our military, our Judeo/Christian religious beliefs and our institutions.
Fight On President Trump! We're behind you 100%! Take no quarter!
Thank goodness. The military exists to be ready for combat, period. We have made enough compromises in the service of political correctness.
There is no right to serve in the military.
An individual transitioning genders simply cannot be considered militarily ready. A biological female who assumes a male gender will, on average, be less capable than a biological male, and require significant constant hormone therapy to maintain even a facade of being male.
A biological male who assumes a female gender will, once they start hormone therapy, be less capable than a biological male. They may on average be more capable than a biological female.
Both male to female and female to male sex reassignment surgery is actually multiple surgeries each requiring a long recovery time. Female to male sex reassignment surgery is significant and invasive: mastectomy, hysterectomy, multiple cosmetic surgeries. Depending on the cosmetic surgeries it can require months of recovery time and cause permanent damage to tissue donor areas.
The idea someone going through this does not impact military readiness is in denial.
