Hagel: Military Should Review Transgender Ban
AP via ABC News ^ | May 11,2014 | AP

Posted on 05/11/2014 1:21:54 PM PDT by John W

The prohibition on transgender individuals serving in the U.S. military "continually should be reviewed," Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said on Sunday.

Hagel did not indicate whether he believes the policy should be overturned. However, he said "every qualified American who wants to serve our country should have an opportunity if they fit the qualifications and can do it."

A transgender individual is someone who has acquired the physical characteristics of the opposite sex or presents themselves in a way that does not correspond with their sex at birth.

Yes, we really need people who physically mutilate themselves to join the military.

It’ll add to the whole diversity thing, or something.

The fun will start when they hand them rifles.

So chucky boy thinks America should have a military made up of men dressed up like women? America’s newest secret weapon. Kill them with laughter! Nice!

Is Hagel an alcohoic? No, seriously, I really wonder if he’s drunk most of the time.

He is some kind of chronic depression, imho. Has more bags under his eyes than a grocery store.

Because eventually they'll no longer be crazy, they'll be normal. Normal is the new crazy.

What they want is a force that will attack no one but it’s fellow citizens.

Fortunately, once they get done repelling all the full-fledged men, whoever is left will be no match for the citizenry.

If they also issue bayonets, they can take care of business themselves.

Yes, Chuck. Why not continue the downward trend of the effectiveness and efficiency of our military? The military already has been hollowed out by the Obama Administration. Between the Clintons and Obama I would guess that the military is 60% as effective and efficient as it once was. I do not know where is the tipping point in the downward trend. Sad.

Hagel’s an idiot. We don’t need to be responsible for a lifetime of hormones and medical care to keep these perverts another gender. Jeeez—talk about a preexisting (and unnedessary) condition!

Within minutes of the Supreme Court decision that overturned the Federal Defense of Marriage Law (that Obama and Holder chose not to enforce) - Hagel got on his phone and declared Millions to be spent for "same sex" homosexual playthings in the military (housing, health care, insurance, etc).

While blowing through those Millions of Dollars on homosexuals, he cut the salaries of nurses, DoD teachers, and mechanics on flight lines.

Nice, huh?

His position on Israel and Jews is also most, most troubling. I have a real fear that if Israel is attacked, we will do absolutely nothing. Nothing.

Hagel’s Anti-Semitism - Beneath his anti-Israelism is a broader anti-Jewish bias, often frankly expressed.

Looks like the lunatics are in charge of the asylum. But sure, why not? Heck, let’s start looking at some other pesky requirements that prevent people from joining the military. Like heroin addiction. Most addicts function just fine....so long as we get them their regular fix. And what about convicted sex offenders? Shouldn’t they have the same rights as everyone else?

My son who was a four year ROTC member simply decided he would wait until this clown show is over to join...if he ever does...

He believes like I do, Obama will eventually kill more military serviceman do to his leadership failures than the Libs ever blamed Bush for...

Far more of our service member were killed and wounded in that shit hole of Afghanistan under Obama than Bush...far more...

More proof that Osama Obama knew what he was doing when he nominated this God damn filthy Rat.He clearly has the very same contempt for our Armed Forces as does his puppet master.
