  • Military Trans Ban, Up Held For Now...

    A little more sanity...

    The Supreme Court announced Tuesday that it will allow President Donald Trump to temporarily enforce restrictions on transgender individuals serving in the military.

    The case will now return to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for further proceedings. Should the administration lose before the 9th Circuit, they can return to the Supreme Court for a definitive ruling on the legality of its restrictions on transgender soldiers.

    Tuesday’s decision is a strong indicator that the government would prevail if the high court has to issue a final ruling in the dispute.

    Good. The military should not be a social experiment.

        Right, but I think it will go back to the Supreme Court...

            You think Charlie cares about empathy? Charlie would just as soon shoot you in the face as to care about empathy. I'm a 20 year veteran of 2 wars. The last thing a mission needs is confusion.

              And why would be want those with mental health issues in the Military? Then would we have to provide ongoing transition surgery?

                Charlie is not an example to be followed then. And his actions do not justify talking about others in a disrespectful way. There is a huge difference between confusion and empathy. If you lost your eye for it, you lost a lot.

                  Charlie is shorthand for the enemy in Vietnam, which can be used as slang for the enemy in general.

                  Noun
                  (military slang) An enemy; the Vietcong; short for Victor Charlie.

                  Townies have no clue on what military cohesion means.

                      Zow I've not heard that slang for years. I didn't know they still used it.

                          Is that really that different from people joining the military to get the military to help pay for their college fees?

                            Yes because those with degrees bring that degre as capital for the benefit of the military. A mental instability isn't of value to the service. The student loan repayment plan is also an incentive to remain enlisted. Surgery isn't.
