About the ONLY thing Bill Clinton got right was Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

The don't ask, don't tell (DADT) policy was devised for the express purpose of allowing gays to openly join the military.

Prior to DADT, the military did ask, and responded by discharging the homosexuals. Bill Clinton wanted to lift the ban outright, but met with considerable opposition. So he instituted DADT, to allow gays to join as long as they kept quiet (they could still be discharged if it was learned they were gay).

When Obama was elected, the media went into full propaganda mode. They characterized Obama's ditching of the DADT policy as a "reversal" of DADT, when it never was. A reversal would have meant that the military would have gone back to the previous policy of asking, and not allowing homosexuals to join, or else discharging them if it turned out they had lied initially. What Obama did was an expansion of Clinton's policy--where Clinton had made it possible to join as long as gays kept quiet about it, Obama has made it so that gays can openly flaunt their homosexuality.

You have to be careful with the leftist narrative. They misrepresent the past in order to fabricate a narrative that advances their agenda.

No. This is a new secret weapon. Trannies will come in full drag to an occupied town, pretending to be mute prostitutes (don’t know the language). Then when the enemy Johns lay their money down and are all set to have a go in the alleyway with a hot mute chick, they take out their derringers and waste the bastards. They’ll call it Drag Force.

I was part of the brown shoe army, along with many of my buddies who are retired here. When we see these articles we just look at each other and shake our heads. We are what is left of the greatest generation and the generation that followed. Its times like these that we would all like to wring necks of the politicians behind it. God forbid any of them actually served in the military. This is no longer the military, its turned into a circus, and maybe on purpose? I think I’ll look into getting one of those newfangled cheap M-15s, maybe they’ll recall me and I’ll be ready by the time I learn how to fire it. I Can’t afford an M-1. anymore.

How can a man be "all that he can be" if he is taking estrogen and thinking about plastic surgery, breast implants, etc.?

So the military spends thousands of dollars to train up a soldier to tote heavy weights over long distances in inclement weather and then shoot at a target with great accuracy. Then they allow this soldier to start a regimen which will decrease his physical aptitude.

How stupid and wrongheaded is that?

Good post.

It never did work for Clinger. I don’t remember that show really well. Why was he allowed to wear frou frou skirts on the front lines in Koreabasas? Why wasn’t he thrown out on mental health grounds if they believed he was transgender enough to allow him to wear dresses?

I understand ya, BUT.
What if one of these freaks are somehow genius at Languages, Numbers, Computing, maybe a doctor, or some other very needed military function and they are not allowed?
It is a good question,

This Obozo traitor is going to rev up the pace of depravity these last 6+ months. Just watch, every bit of depravity that he did not date push before now will be rammed through before Jan. 20. God how I loathe this bastard.

Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what sex change your country can do for you.

The new brave army...

And, given that the federal always ends up pushing its own culture and religion on other states... guess what... you wont be able to protest and criticize at home either.

So what is the lesbian on the left doing hanging out with trannies?

Funny... But I honestly feel the real reason so many “lesbians” look like men is maybe they are more man than believed. You have heard of “lady boys”? Well I assert these “Lesbians” are “Man Girls”.

How focused on fighting is the soldier who is not even sure of his own body? More soldiers with openly-displayed mental illnesses don’t scare the enemy!

We are backed into a corner now. We have to discriminate. We have to restrain evil. We must have standards. Some things we must not allow any longer. Political correctness must die.

You can’t make deals with mental illness or the devil, and that’s what we’ve been doing for the last 100 years or so.
