Army investigating social media post by chaplain who asked if transgender people unfit to serve

Army officials are investigating comments on social media by a Fort Hood chaplain who questioned whether transgender people are mentally unfit to serve in the military.

The chaplain, Army Maj. Andrew Calvert, wrote the comments under a Facebook post from Army Times, a civilian publication, about President Joe Biden's recent order to reverse the ban on transgender people serving in the armed forces.

"How is rejecting reality (biology) not evidence that a person is mentally unfit (ill), and thus making that person unqualified to serve,” Maj. Calvert apparently wrote on Monday under the Army Times post. "There is little difference in this than over those who believe and argue for a 'flat earth,' despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary."

In response to people who challenged his views, Calvert apparently wrote that he wasn't being extreme. "The most nurturing counsel I can give to someone who is under the delusion of transgenderism (gender dysphoria) is to recommend professional counseling to assist in the healing process," an account attributed to Calvert wrote. "To not do so, and merely to pander to make-believe social whims of the moment, is not only damaging but idiocy."

The comments brought a swift response from the command that oversees the 3rd Security Force Assistance Brigade, where Calvert is assigned.

"We are aware of the recent comments posted to the Army Times Facebook in regard to the ban being removed on transgender service members," the Security Force Assistance Command wrote in a statement. "This incident is under investigation."

This man displays the courage that so many in the military are lacking.

Does anyone think that all of this communist takeover can be solved by voting? By summer we’ll be lucky if we’re still able to post comments on Free Republic.

Very true. They are aiming at creating a new “reality” that is aptly symbolized by the transgender delusion.

I have been in and out of being banned by sites the last six months like you would not believe. I’ve been on the internet forums since 1996 and didn’t have to even think about being banned until the first time it happened in 2011, which was a special case.

The whole thing has become the “Kiddie pool”. Adults not allowed.

And they are vindictive about it. Christianforums.com was the worst. Vinylengin.org is second. The former was downright mean about it. The latter just band your entire IP, even if it is a school or corporate IP. And I mean you can’t even access the site, AT ALL from that same IP.

I really like VPN. :)

How true. Speaking of revolution, look for a piece Samuel Todd Francis wrote in 1997 called “Revolution is in the Air”. It’s profound. You can find it at counter-currents, but that’s not a site that FR allows.

The military is one of the more recent examples of the Long March through the Institutions. Meanwhile, we were running around braying about economics and having our patriotism manipulated into support for neocon wars that didn’t benefit America. President Trump did what he could while he could (so far), but there is still so much to be done; and much of what he was able to do is being dismantled.

“Incident”

OMG, again, those words!

Those THOUGHTS! THOUGHT CRIME!

Good for this man. How do we get hold of him? I love him saying “idiocy”.

I would further suggest that people pushing this very idiotic thought that people can change sex ALSO be sent to counseling.
