Commission Finds ‘No Compelling Medical Reason’ To Exclude Transgender Americans From Military

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS/AP) — An independent commission led by a former U.S. surgeon general has concluded there “is no compelling medical reason” for the U.S. armed forces to prohibit transgender Americans from serving and that President Barack Obama could lift the decades-old ban without approval from Congress, according to a report being released Thursday.

I agree with this august commission's findings. As a precaution, I urge that every non-commissioned officer be equipped with a hormone-injecting dart gun, in case Pvt. Jane/John comes down with the vapors while in action or on maneuvers.

Also, should these LBGT troopers wish to become paratroopers, the para harness should be padded to prevent stress on transgender surgery scars.

The use of sexually ambiguous troops will give us a tremendous tactical advantage in combat. Enemy combatants will rise from cover to stare in wonderment ... when they do so, the few anatomically correct men left in the military can mow'em down.

“That Guam question was truly one of the stupidest questions ever posed by anyone over the age of 5. That it came from a Congressman is just staggering.”

I watched that video again last night, which is why it came to mind on the thread.

The best part of the video is the great personal restraint of the Admiral when that truly idiotic question was posed: he did not flinch, he did not smile, he did not laugh.

His steely self-control is a case in point of why midshipmen at USNA go through the rigorous training that they do. (My son is USNA ‘07)

Because I am a firm believer in the great educational value of public ridicule, I would have been compelled to say something like, “Well, Sir, from the days of the wooden sailing ships, through the eras of ironclads, steam, and now the nuclear Navy, we in the Naval Service have centuries of experience balancing personnel and materiel on our ships to keep them from tipping over. I am sure we can do the same with Guam with a few Marines.”

We're going to a see corollary of Gresham's Law demonstrated. Potential real soldiers and sailors are going to start shunning the military as a career and it's ranks will have to be filled by the dregs of society. Each incremental step down this path will reinforce the inevitability of the next.

There may be a tactical advantage to having a few companies of female impersonators - when the enemy sees them, they may laugh themselves to death.

Remember that Joceyln Elder was so bad that even Bill Clinton had to fire her.

>>However, in her defense, I do not think she has ever had major concerns about the physical stability of Guam that might be posed by additional Marines.

Probably because she doesn’t know that Guam is an island.

It has already started. Most veterans I know are recommending to young people to stay out of the military and recommending skilled trades apprenticeships instead.

Exactly which military weapons do liberals want to hand to mentally ill people who want to mutilate their own bodies?

How about morale? How about costs? This is just a way to get us taxpayers to pay for extremely expensive optional surgery.

And how about the uniforms? What gender would they take Basic Training with?

So they think it’s a good idea to let someone who is confused about whether he or she is male or female have control of automatic weapons?

What in the world did this commission cost us and who put it together?

Not an official government panel(Thank God!!!) It was an "Commission" funded and selected by an former colonel turned transsexual billionaire .

The "Commission's" "conclusion" were preordained. Not worth the paper it's written on as it wasn't an scientific study but an political one.
