Y'all should be grateful that someone is willing to risk his/her life to defend our country and subject him/herself to merciless bullying and harassment, instead of taking a BS medical exemption for, say, bone spurs. If they are crazy enough to do this, they get no complaints from me.

When was the last time a soldier defended our legitimate borders? Right now troops are defending the special intrests of the federal govt. and they get what they get. None of them are heroes or brave for that.

No, of course not. But this policy in no way improves the security of the US or the effectiveness of the military. That's how decisions should be made, not based on ideology.

Perhaps I'm closed minded, but I'd find it awkward being addressed by a man masquerading as a woman before a major military engagement in which I might lose my life. It'd seem awfully bizarre, and I'd question my country for installing someone like that as a commanding officer. I'd see that individual as mentally unstable. But that's just my opinion.

Not just your opinion but many people's opinion. And much more so in the military.

If a handful of transgenders joins the military, I doubt America will be in danger of falling, any more than if the same number of macho idiots joined up.

I read an article says, The Marine Corps is pulling parts off of museum planes to keep their F-18s flying. Even with that drastic action, only about 30 percent of their F-18s are ready to fly.

I thought the military is downsizing? Now they are okay with illegals and all these folks joining in? why? are they really planning the ww3 ? lol puhhahahhaha

How pathetic that these people complain we have too many wars and soldiers are not defending the freedom, and at the same time, agreeing with the radical change of military culture.
