And when one of those queers gets shot and needs a medic he/she/it will be SOL/DOA.
It is going to get worse - much worse.
There should be no real Christians in the U.S. military anymore.
Christianity drove our WWII “Greatest Generation”.
I have no idea what that means.
So what happens when he or she gets shot, and sprays blood all over his/her co-combatants, in their eyes, up their noses, in their open shrapnel wounds, etc? What about the civilian who has to clean up the bathrooms and the used sanitary products of such women?
