I wonder..just how many transgender military there are? 100...200?

I think the issue here is more about a citizen..demanding the full responsibilities and privileges of citizenship.

To take away the right to defend your country..because of gender identity...makes them less.

I can see their point..me..as long as they can shoot and pack their load--let them serve.


Besides, I think Trump brought up this issue just to distract.

Twitter Reminds Donald Trump of His False Promises to LGBT Community
Keeping crazy muslims from murdering them cannot be equated with buying them surgery to satisfy their wants. Only extremely selfish imbalanced people would do that, and so they prove Trump right.

They're about as sane as the ISIS horde who wants to slit their throats.
They can't see beyond themself and can't get out of their own way. They will not win.

Republicans to a soldier: We're not paying for trannies and we're not paying for your artificial leg! Frogs grow a new one ...why can't you!

That's side issue, the main issue here is security. You can be discharged from the military for any medical condition that requires constant attention.

I'm disappointed in this decision but I don't have all the facts yet.

I'll tell you I know of a few who wish to join the military but because of past disorders documented as kids, even though they are gone now, they deny them. It's harder to serve than you think. But, in a group of well armed and efficient men, you have to consider safety issues.

As far as the money a few transgenders cost the military, I think unnecessary army bases and sponsoring mini wars costs us a heck of a lot more. I wish that was cut instead of transgenders.

I don't have to be happy about everything the president decides, and I never have been regardless who they were or if I voted them in. You can't have everything you want. If you get half of it that's a win!

It was designed to distract:

Donald Trump made a lot of waves today with his announcement (via Twitter) that the military was not gonna let transgenders in anymore. Or something. Like John McCain, I’m not entirely sure what the announcement actually meant.

Anyway, Trump’s announcement was strategically planned. It was meant to take all attention off the turmoil brewing within his cabinet regarding his treatment of his own attorney general, Jeff Sessions.


With Friends Like Donald Trump...

Shouldn't it be merrit-based? And if not, why not?

If a soldier is performing their duty, what does it matter?

"They will not win."

So, it's us vs them eh?
I thank you for your honesty..it's refreshing to have someone just come out and say it..rather than get all mealy-mouthed.

Of course...if this is a conflict..than you'd expect your enemy to do whatever they can. Protest, use the ballot box--bring social pressure.

Would it surprise you to find out that there might be more of 'them' then you?

Why anyone should care is beyond me--with all the bs in the world, you're concerned about what gender someone wishes?

This is just a squirrel Trump sent out to distract while the healthcare bill is coming to a vote---and to get the multiple investigations out of the limelight.

He will not win.
