How can President Trump claim to represent all U.S citizens, regardless of sexual orientation, when he banned transgenders from joining the military? Isn't that discrimination?
Trey Gowdy's Response:
"Nobody has a right to serve in the Military. Nobody! What makes you people think the Military is an equal opportunity employer? It is very far from it - and for good reasons - let me cite a few.
The Military uses prejudice regularly and consistently to deny citizens from joining for being too old or too young, too fat or too skinny, too tall or too short. Citizens are denied for having flat feet, or for missing or additional fingers."
He went on to explain: "By the way, poor eyesight will disqualify you, as well as bad teeth. Malnourished? Drug addiction? Bad back? Criminal history? Low IQ? Anxiety? Phobias? Hearing damage? Six arms? Hear voices in your head? Self-identification as a Unicorn? Need a special access ramp for your wheelchair? Can't run the required course in the required time? Can't do the required number of push-ups? Not really a morning person? and refuse to get out of bed before noon? All can be legitimate reasons for denial.
The Military has one job: Winning War. Anything else is a distraction and a liability. Did someone just scream, that isn't fair? War is VERY unfair, there are no exceptions made for being special or challenged or socially wonderful. YOU must change yourself to meet Military standards and not the other way around.
I say again: You don't change the Military - you must change yourself. The Military is not about being fair, it is about taking advantage of others and about winning. The Military doesn't need to accommodate anyone with special issues. The Military needs to Win Wars and keep our Country safe - PERIOD! If any of your personal issues are a liability that detract from readiness, Thank you for applying and good luck in future endeavors.
Any other questions?"
Who thinks it’s a good idea to arm delusional people that don’t even know what’s between their legs?
That’s a fine response.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!
Exceptional comment!!!!!
Should be read aloud at every military recruitment/ induction center...
But the military IS affirmative action, and has quotas to fill.
Especially for the academies. They turn away stronger, smarter, and in all ways better qualified white males in favor of females and minorities.
So we aren’t allowing our country’s best to lead our ranks.
Good
BRAVO!!!
Good. Now, “allow” those who identify as trans or who have had surgery to transition early release from their terms of enlistment. Stop degrading military capability with social experimentation to “normalize” this stuff. It’s the military, not a progressive liberal college campus/business. Grrr....
Trey Gowdy nailed it, the US Military is NOT a democracy.
Have you got a link to that? Sometimes these are not said by politicians they are accredited to- He said all this in the spur of the moment? Sounds more like a carefully written and thought out response, but perhaps he did say it off top of his head, i dunno- just would like verification as we’ve been burnt a number of times posting things that turned out not to have been said by folks-
ok- he ‘may or may not have said these things’ a comment was posted on social media site days before it appeared on Trey’s community site, but no author was cited for the post-

Not good enough.
Why is the administration equivocating on this issue? Less than a decade ago, not a single one of these deviants would have been allowed to serve an additional day.
Let the gays and lesbos do something they might actually be good at—How about running liberal cities like Houston, South Bend, etc.
Even those enlisted claiming cross dresser status before today should be honorably discharged, given their benefits and sent on their way. Next, get women out of combat arms and start to clean out the Obama left wing social experiments designed to destroy the military.
That is a lovely quotation, and is ABsolutely Right.
But can you tell me WHEN he said it ?
And WHERE it is recorded?
A PROPER Citation would be nice.
Pretty please ?
