Quote:MILITARY SERVICE REQUIREMENT!

 
 
Trey Gowdy, a former South Carolina Congressman, responded to a question from a CNN reporter about the ban of transgenders from joining the U.S. armed forces. As Trey typically does so very well, he nailed it rather succinctly.
 
Question:
How can President Trump claim to represent all U.S citizens, regardless of sexual orientation, when he banned transgenders from joining the military? Isn't that discrimination?
 
Trey Gowdy's Response:
Nobody has a right to serve in the Military.  Nobody! What makes you people think the Military is an equal opportunity employer? It is very far from it - and for good reasons - let me cite a few" The Military uses prejudice regularly and consistently to deny citizens from joining for being too old or too young, too fat or too skinny, too tall or too short. Citizens are denied for having flat feet, or for missing or additional fingers." he went on to explain:  "By the way, poor eyesight will disqualify you, as well as bad teeth. Malnourished? Drug addiction? Bad back? Criminal history? Low IQ? Anxiety? Phobias? Hearing damage? Six arms? Hear voices in your head?  Self-identification as a Unicorn? Need a special access ramp for your wheelchair?"  "Can't run the required course in the required time? Can't do the required number of push-ups? Not really a morning person? and refuse to get out of bed before noon? All can be legitimate reasons for denial"
 
"The Military has one job: Winning War. Anything else is a distraction and a liability. Did someone just scream? That isn't Fair?  War is VERY unfair, there are no exceptions made for being special or challenged or socially wonderful."  "YOU must change yourself to meet Military standards and not the other way around."  "I say again: You don't change the Military - you must change yourself. The Military is not about being fair, it is about taking advantage of others and about winning.  The Military doesn't need to accommodate anyone with special issues. The Military needs to Win Wars and keep our Country safe -PERIOD!"
 
"If any of your personal issues are a liability that detracts from readiness or lethality... Thank you for applying and good luck in future endeavors."  "Any other questions?"
 
AMEN!

A "kinder, gentler machine-gun hand" is not the way to win wars and neither is choosing personnel for appearances over substance.

And get this, no headgear... no helmets while training??? Not even a soft cover??? WTH?

Not only are these individuals placed in a position where they are a danger to themselves and their  respective units, are they counselled that they are tasked with protecting the country and not 'theyselves' ?

WTF America!  Smaller nations like us look up to you and rely on your allied services to help protect us.  

Tragedy is, our Gov is probably going to follow the lead shown here as they (The Gov) do.

Next will be air soft bullets and colored grenades shaped like butt plugs. 

Got no problems with real warriors who have got my six and I've got theirs.  Kinda like the 9 month pregnant woman who took out the perp that 'pistol whipped' her husband.  

A 'force to be reckoned with' is going down the northern hemisphere gurgler.

I can only hope my Gov doesn't follow the US lead when it comes to the serving military.

How can any other country take this seriously.

Start another war and send these fleas to the front.

Quote:Apparently, the military doesn’t believe that transgender soldiers are just like everybody else, and in order to keep them on active duty they have thrown standards out the window.

The military is going through a crisis with weight–since 2001 the number of soldiers who are classified as overweight has skyrocketed by over 400%, and much of that has to do with accommodating a more “diverse” military. Women, Blacks, and Hispanics have higher rates of obesity in the military than Whites do, suggesting that the standards apply differently to different categories of people.

“Diversity is our strength” seems the opposite of the truth, at least as the military seeks to achieve it.
One of the lies we are being told, relentlessly, is that when the military makes efforts to expand the types of people admitted into the services the standards applied will remain the same. This has been clearly false forever. This has been particularly true when it comes to sex differences. As we know, different standards of physical fitness are applied to men and women, in opposition to what we were told when recruitment opened up, and now we see that the standards have been changed even more drastically for transgender people.

On its face, the argument that being transgender would present no barrier to military service is absurd, simply because transgender soldiers require constant medical care in order to maintain their gender treatments. Regardless of any other potential issues, this alone should make policymakers leery of including transgender-identifying people in the rolls of active duty personnel.
The military, though, is a social scientist’s playground. Under total control of the government, it is easy to use as a laboratory for ideological experiments.
