Living "authentically" saves Soldier’s life
US Army ^ | June 22, 2023 | Sarah Patterson

Coming out as a transgender female saved Maj. Rachel Jones’ life.

The U.S. Army Sustainment Command Cyber Division chief, G6 (Information Management), struggled with depression and suicidal ideation for most of her life. Today, she is living her truth and is no longer battling depression or suicidal thoughts.

The observance of Pride Month, celebrated every June, was first recognized by the Department of Defense in June 2012. It is a time when the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community come together to celebrate love and authenticity. Many LGBTQ+ people must overcome deep-rooted fear, shame and adversity in order to live as their most authentic self, though.

Patton, Pinochet, and Franco.

There were two incidents on Sicily of Patton slapping soldiers who were experiencing what today we’d call PTSD but who were physically uninjured.

The first one eventually turned out to be infected with malaria. The second one’s nerves were shot. Patton pulled a pistol on him.

My dad was there in Patton’s army on Sicily, a Captain in an AAA battalion. The Army tried assigning a couple of shell-shocked soldiers to that unit to get them off of the front line. It didn’t work. One of them would never sleep and he’d begin pacing non-stop whenever the big guns were firing. The second one was catatonic. He’d go wherever he was led but he would never move his body on his own. Like a gumby doll. Probably undiagnosed schizophrenia. After a few weeks both were sent back to the States.

I imported that photo into the hot/crazy evaluator software and got TWO boundary violation messages. One said the crazy value exceeded 10 and the other said the hot value was less than zero.

Now we celebrate mental illness rather than treat it. Got it.

I am stunned to see how far and fast we have fallen, our military has been utterly destroyed from within in a few short years….when, not if, our military is called to perform, prepare for a massive defeat- for all the world to see., it’s coming.

In Arsenic and Old Lace, Teddy thought he was Teddy Roosevelt. Family and neighbors played along, but everyone knew he was crazy. But that was the late 40s and we are so much more advanced today.

“...she is living her truth”

If I never hear that lame, gag-inducing phrase again it’ll be too soon.

the US Army is publishing this kind of crap? We’re being laughed at by the enemy. No one will wonder when we lose the next war.

OK, why is the US Army recruiting and retaining mentally ill people who struggle with "depression and suicidal ideation"?

Disgusting how the military promotes mental illness and embraces confusion. It’s satanic.

... Because I don’t want one of those unhinged fvcks in a bathroom with me or a little girl? There is a deep psychological problem in someone who refuses to accept their sex.

And notice how old he appears to be before, “coming out”. Sorry, no. That’s a mid-life crisis if I’ve ever seen one.

Because they’re desperate. All of the DEI crap and stuff with the COVID shots has scared away REAL soldiers.

I also wonder if IGD (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1334/) was ruled out?
