I guess the pentagon better get this dire issue taken care of. I mean the military is more about making sure everybody feels good anymore than winning battles. Up next the all pedophile brigade and don't forget about the lonely sheep herders.

Last week, Fluke told a California college that Barack Obama's repeal of the “Don't Ask, “Don't Tell” policy did not go far enough, because it did not include transgender soldiers.

“We still don’t let trans-folk join the military,” Fluke told a gathering at Claremont McKenna College on February 13. “That needs to change.”
Service in the military, she said, should be open to the entire “the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning” population, according to the Daily Caller.
“I think the steps that we have to focus on right now are some of the ones that will be the most impactful but also the ones that society is ready for,” she added.

Yeah, we need twits like her to social engineer the military as if the function of the military is no different then students living in a college dormitory.

As much as I despise everything I know about the woman, she may have a point here. I say "may" because it depends on what accomodations need to be made in order for them to serve. I don't know all the ramifications but I can't really see a reason for not allowing them to serve at this point. With the emphasis being on "at this point".

Given that homosexuals are allowed and now women are going to be put in the combat arms, isn't whatever damage that might be done already done? I mean if we still forbade homosexuals from serving, then sure we should forbid trans people also. But given that homosexuals can serve now, what's the justification for not allowing trans people to serve? What additional problems would that cause that aren't already there?

I agree. I see no reason why a qualified transgendered person should be kept from a military career.

Has she ever served in the military? No? Then she needs to S.T.F.U.

Not only that, but *gasp* I hear they use assault weapons in the military!!!!!!! We need to get those removed immediately!

If we can't have a bunch of homosexual, cross-dressing trannies wielding muskets.....what kind of example are we setting around the world?

There are radical groups in this world that would like to kill her for simply saying the stupid things she says. If they got a hold of her and were slowly cutting her head off while posting her screams on the internet (sound familiar?) she would not care one thing about the "questioning population".

Sandra Fluke needs to grow the f up and then shut the f up, and those idiots who are still reporting on the nonsense that she says need to learn how to tell time, because her 15 minutes of fame was up 20 minutes ago.
