A poll of United States service members and veterans finds that only 39 percent approve of transgender individuals serving in the military.
When the sex of the respondent is a factor, the poll which surveyed the views of 1,031 service members and veterans shows that 37 percent of male members approve of transgender troops, while 62 percent of females approve.
Only 32 percent of the Greatest Generation (World War II) approve of transgender troops, while 39 percent of Baby Boomers, 42 percent of Generation X, and 55 percent of Millennials approve.

"...39% / 61%..."
Giving weapons to people we know have tormented souls with a MUCH higher incidence of suicide and homicide is....nuts.

Perverts who are mentally ill shouldn’t be in the Service.

Well, we’re certainly losing the historical trend.
” 32 percent of the Greatest Generation (World War II) approve of transgender troops
39 percent of Baby Boomers
42 percent of Generation X,
and 55 percent of Millennials approve.”

That the number is 39 percent is disturbing enough.

Thank goodness. The premise is absurd and dangerous.

39% approve of transexuals? No Way.
Don’t be fooled.

Probably a lot of lesbos in our military:
37 percent of male members approve of transgender troops, while 62 percent of females approve.

Because it’s the cool thing to be in favor of nowadays.
Plus lots are women, they probably figure they’re less likely to be harrassed by a Corporal Klinger impersonator than a real horny male.
And I suspect there’s a good fraction of responses from those who are either lying or just trolling the survey.

I suspect that some of the polled are gay or transgenders. I don’t think that they should count.

Exactly. How many are lying out of fear of being called transphobic?

When I was drafted the selective service did a fair job of screening out the obvious freaks. Keeping this kind out would be a no-brainer.

Why on Earth would you bring people into the Military who (from the git-go) are:
1. Mentally ill
2. Ticking time bombs from a medical cost perspective
3. Almost certain to cause friction and dissention in the ranks
4. Likely un-deployable
Plus, I strongly suspect they are there more to tear down the Military culture (vs. actually serve their country).

You have to wonder how the question was phrased and how “approved” is being defined.

It got that high because the gay troops vote, too.

"In the poll, conducted over the 2018 Veterans Day holiday,
more than 23,000 digital subscribers to Stars and Stripes news services worldwide
received an email invitation to participate anonymously in an
online opinion survey about military policy and conditions in the armed services."

In other-words, this is all a bunch of meaningless hogwash.
