Donald Trump to kick transgender troops out of US military

[Oddball]

They were thinking, "We are having a hard enough time getting qualified people, especially for the more technical MOS classifications. Who cares if he wears a dress if he has the mad technical skills."

That's probably what they were thinking.

Why would it be bad for morale?

Seems the only people who would be upset would be the transphobes.

Should we have avoided desegregating the military in 1948 because the racists would be upset?



Do the math. 0.5% of the US population is transgender.

346,000,000 x 0.5 = 1.73MM transgenders.

I'm not sure what the objection is particularly. I'm getting the sense that they are choosing to create an extremely expensive medical tab because of the choice they made.

If flat feet is a disqualifier I would imagine that a complex medical condition such as this requiring a hefty regimen of hormone shots as well as constant medical monitoring falls well within the physical disqualification criteria.

Are diabetics flying F-15s?

As far as I know the US military is still not accepting recruits who have diabetes (that may have changed due to recruitment issues). For individuals who get diabetes while on active duty it's a case by case basis (again as far as I know that policy has not changed since I retired but that doesnt mean it hasnt). As far as whether diabetic individuals are flying F-15's I have no idea. I assume they are or you wouldnt have brought it up.

OOOH pick me,. Pick me.


Because they are non deployable. That's why.

I'll give 10:1 odds that the answer is "no".

JFK's SS men lost their president, is that more incomplete than the female SS agent with Trump who survived?

You assume wrong.
You can't have somebody needing an insulin shot or orange juice in the middle of a battle.
Flying tons of American weaponry that's worth millions of dollars.

Just look at female cops, in even minor altercations they get their ass handed to them....If they don't runn-oft first.

Women are physically equal to 12 year old boys. They are extremely inferior to men.

Except in the later seasons, Klinger straightened out his act, became a model soldier, and was promoted to sergeant.

They don't need to be kicked out of Murica any more than those who have any other mental dysfunction.

It's not just mental problems. Trans have self-inflicted physical problems that the rest of us pay for.

Yeah, he unfagified. When will you?

 

[Thunk]

Maybe they should form their own brigade? The prancing privates?

Probably isnt. I can imagine that a person going into a diabetic coma while behind the stick of one of those is frowned upon.

No that's not it. Our military brass are paid by china and russia to destroy the american military.

Cool story. I said I didnt think they would be. I only assumed they were because someone brought it up.

Trump's female SS body guard during the assassination attempt was a perfect example of just how incompetent they are.

Women are not just physically inferior; they are also psychologically inferior. They always freeze in a crisis.

To be fair I have seen some jacked up women (although jacked up on what I'm not sure of ) that could probably kill a man in combat. But that does not represent the average recruit. I have also seen jacked up women get the shit beat out of them by a guy as skinny as a stick..... It's a hard call.
