Donald Trump to kick transgender troops out of US military

[StatesRightsForever]

Actually, it's a pretty simple call. Just make everyone, male or female, pass the same physical fitness test. If 40 pushups, 40 situps, and a 2 miles in 16 minutes is good enough for men, it should be good enough for women.

Pushups are a bad strength test for two reasons.

1. They measure pound-per-pound strength not absolute strength

2. They are easy to cheat at.

Same thing with chin-ups.

I sure did, but I was in a support battalion being a technical specialist in anti-armor missile systems in the first term of my contract my second tour I was a power generation specialist technician and operator with the ADA unit in First Cav....

Then you should know perpetually non deployable personnel are processed out. It’s just the facts. We shouldn’t change the qualifications for service to accommodate someone’s feelings. The military has a set number of personnel it can have at any one time. For every non deployable member someone else has to take up that slack. Is that fair to all the non trans members? Should a non trans person have to spend time xtra time away from family? Should they have to put their life at risk more often so trans people can serve? People make choices, are not a certain way, things happen to them in life. All that affects what they can and can’t do. Life’s hard get a helmet.

Why are they undeployable?

What a stupid ass question

There are 15,000 transgenders in the U.S. military?

I am poorly informed. I would have thought there were 15,000 transgenders in all of America.

It's difficult for me to have an opinion on this. If someone is willing to risk their lives, they deserve latitude and support IMO.

They don't risk their lives. They run drag shows.



They belong in a traveling circusl

So men and women are scored the same? What happens when none of the women get promoted because the men’s PT test scores are so much higher?

 

[scruffy]

Yeah, let us please get back to those knuckle-dragging drunk all day soldiers of the past.

You mean the ones that won all the wars and saved Europe twice?

 

[Pappadave1]

Welp. It's a sane idea. Having trannies in the military is super-bad for morale.

Not to mention that it's NOT a good idea to have troops who are mentally unbalanced as ALL trannies actually are.

Put them all together . Like the rainbow berets.

I say kick them out of america. These freaks cost us a fortune in medical care with their self-inflicted health problems.

Donald Trump ‘to kick transgender troops out of US military’

An executive order could be signed as early as Donald Trump’s first day back in the White House, which would force 15,000 people out of their posts

My take is focused not on trans-sexuality but on the ability to do your job, whatever it is. If you meet job performance standards and have no other disciplinary issues, then I see reason to discharge you from any branch of service for that reason alone. I say this as a military retiree and someone who voted for Trump. And IMHO, neither enlistment or reenlistment decisions should be made on transgender people solely on that factor.

Refusing military duty based on their vaccine status was pure politics, and dangerous. They knew conservatives would be more apt to forego the vaccine. These types of policies and continued expansion of the U.S government has to be reversed if America is to avoid becoming European again. All of the far left governments in Europe have been failing.and ir should be a.red flag They are now more comfortable than ever betraying America, Israel and other allies. Even when they speak of helping Ukraine they really just push for America to do so. This is what the modern far-left is on the world stage. More totalitarian anti-capitalist and freedom than in my lifetime.

Yep the commie just love to use the military for their social experiments, they don't give a flying flip if it degrades our readiness. We need to return to a military who's only mission is to kill people and break shit. That requires a lot of testosterone and very little estrogen.

People are joining just to get their surgeries paid for and a life time supply of hormones. Is that really how you want the defense budget spent?

.

NO. I do not believe the federal gov't should be paying for transgender surgeries for anyone, in or out of the military. Nor a supply of hormones either. If that is the case then it should be stopped right effing now. I am just fine with Trump putting an end to that crap.

Yup - these freaks are costing america a fortune. They don't care a bit about soldiering.

Trump put a stop to it in his first term and it looks like he's going to do it again. And as retired military I fully support the effort.

[SweetSue92]

IMO many trans people go into the military to get their surgeries/treatment for free. You don't have to kick out the ones there, if they're serving well. Just state a new rule saying elective surgeries are no longer covered. And yeah, it's elective.

The military used to be a place where real men enlisted. Homosexuals behave like freaks because God gave them a reprobate mind. They are walking and talking lie as the speak against God and all they are capable of doing is pushing that deadly sin of theirs off on others. They recruit for Satan the Devil.

Real men no longer want to enlist in the United States Military. Something has to change. The abomination has to be eliminated from the military. The enlistment numbers are the lowest they have ever been. The military used to be a place where a man was taught to be a strong man. Homosexuals weaken the military as the teach men how to be very ewe= x

People were saying the exact same thing about blacks in the military, about asians in the military, about hispanics in military, etc. All these views have ended up in the dumpster fire of history.

 

[Mr Natural]

This trans stuff has really got you people worked up.
