You’re kidding right?
I'm as serious as a heart attack.
"...except under certain limited circumstances."
It's not just trannies. The death of DADT, out-of-the-closet fags and the bland Pentagon and public assumption that homosexuals won't use their authority to score sex has crippled any number of units, particularly CONUS support. I still have contacts in the various branches, and there is a whole gay sub-culture that has blossomed in the command structure. Lesbian officers, lesbian staff NCOs and there are whole bunches, (Obama, recall, was hot to get women into the combat arms.), are pretty much bullet-proof. All they have to do is whine about "sexual harassment" and the local IG and CG will run for the Tall Grass.
There are too many traitor congressmen between any good-of-the-service staff colonels who want a star, and these crazed dykes. Over the last three years, any number of base and unit commands have been given to women who everyone knows are gay, as in wildly perverted lumberjack, leather boot and whip, bike club, but everyone also knows that to say it out loud is a career killer.
