“I’m sure there’s a role for everybody to play in the armed forces...”
The Obama military will live on under Bush.
We as a society have lost the ability to say that the military is fundamentally different from civilian life. We have lost the reasoning ability to say that, whatever accmodations are made for trans whatevers in the civilian world, that such people don’t belong in the military. We are so politically correct and afraid of being called bigoted against Certain people, that we are put in a position to have to prove that standards are not discriminatory against certain people. There is a presumption that any standards are discriminatory.
That was my first thought, too. We don’t need mentally unstable people in the military.
