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.

Obviously they don't think they've done enough yet to achieve their goals for our military so they continue.

I’m surprised he hasn’t suggested pink uniforms yet.

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

Trampolines as launch vehicles and dildos for weapons systems.

Well at least after Transgender, there is nothing else. Everyone who is weird can now join the military. What are the Democrats going to do once all the special groups are accepted?

The old drunk Hagel should be bent over and ...... then tell us how much he likes it.

I have to admit there are lots of people I’d like to see the muslims get their hands on. Traitor Hagel and McCain are two on the list.

It’s obvious to anyone with half a brain they’re trying to destroy the military. What they want is a force that will attack no one but it’s fellow citizens.

Sorry folks, I didn’t view the public kissy face celebration of all that’s good and PC spectacle with Michael Sam and boyfriend as anything other than distasteful and disgusting. I think it’s instinctual with me.

Transsexuals in the military are some three steps too far. I certainly don’t want to kill any of “them”, I just don’t want it constantly shoved in my face.

We’ll never fight another war. If WW3 come around...might as well use the nukes.

That’s our Sec.Def. Chuck “Foster Brooks Hagel. I don’t know if you’re of the generation that remembers who he was.

What about the soldier who marries his nanny goat and wants dependent benefits for her?

I suspect he’s a man of many, many weakness. All of which are currently being exploited.

I thought this line was interesting: A transgender individual is someone who has acquired the physical characteristics...”

Acquired? You mean like a woman was walking down the street and SURPRISE, male genitalia just showed up on her body, along with a beard and big hands?

Give me a break.

Oh, and Hagel is a moron.

It won’t be long before they’ll be asking, “Do we want heterosexuals in OUR ARMY?”

This is great news. My dog has done nothing but talk about wanting to join the army since he was a pup. In a few more years he may be able to experience his one true desire.

Glad to see we’ve got a SECDEF who has his priorities straight.

Oops...did I say straight?

I sure do remember Brooks.... Steve Allen interviewing Brooks as an airline pilot:

"What kind of airplane do you fly, sir?"

Brooks: "Wassat?"

Allen: "I say, what kind of airplane do you fly?"

Brooks (sluring words): "Wellll...isss biiiig, and iss silverrrrr *burp*"

Wrong, it can always be worse.

After this, you will see the epileptics, blind, paraplegics and quadriplegics and who knows what else demand to be in the military. While the ones I just named aren't moral degenerates, how much of the budget will go to accommodating them so they can serve? Last on the list are those who are HIV positive. Some genius will no doubt conclude there is no risk to them serving either. [/s]
