  • Trump: No Transgenders In The Military!

    Simple common sense!

    WASHINGTON — President Trump announced on Wednesday that the United States will not “accept or allow” transgender people in the United States military, saying American forces “must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory” and could not afford to accommodate them.

    Mr. Trump made the surprise declaration in a series of posts on Twitter, saying he had come to the decision after talking to generals and military experts, whom he did not name.

    “After consultation with my generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. military,” Mr. Trump wrote. “Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail.”

      Given the relatively high potential of needing to perform well under stress, it makes sense to exclude those who are likely to be mentally fragile.

            I disagree. I think they should use transgenders as a strategic offense. Can you imagine sending them in first against the muslims? Huge men in makeup rushing down on them, screaming "Does this uniform make my butt look big?" and "I am a GIRRRRRRL!" - they would be completely horrified and confused and would either run away or surrender.

              Not necessarily. They just tend to prioritize inclusion over effectiveness.

                If they're that confused about who they are, how in the world can they "defend and protect"?
                The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                      Very possibly smart politics. It might force the Democrats to re-embrace their stance on transgenders that even Obama finally admitted was very unpopular and costly in the 2016 election.

                        Could you expound on this? I'm curious.

                          Because we are paying for elective surgery when our wounded vets are suffering in the VA system, and because as they transition they can not do their jobs.

                              IIRC Obama listed some of the reasons that he thought that Hillary lost in 2016 and her vocal support for transgender bathrooms was among them.
