Trump bans transgenders from military

[⠝⠕⠏⠑]

This is terrible logic

With this logic you should allow everyone including people younger den 18, the elderly and prisoners to join the military

How do U equate people younger than 18, elderly and prisoners with transgendered people?

There are obvious physical/health consent reasons why the people in ur groups aren't allowed.

But the same can't be said about transgendered adults who want to join the army right?
If they are physically capable and willing, why not?

I assume this has more to do with the medical cost of people wanting surgeries and hormone treatment which would be on the tax payers dime? This is just me assuming though.

How would anyone even know if someone is gay though? Who you sleep with is nobodies business besides who you sleep with. I'm sure you all dont sit in briefing meetings talking about who is smashing who right?

And IMO vanity surgeries and hormonal subscriptions shouldnt be done with tax payer money. If you want to be a woman or a man thats cool, but in the military everyone wears the same clothing so all that extra stuff is purely vanity.

I can't speak for other units or other branches, but with my career field being so small and we're all pretty much like brothers. We all know each other on a personal level, of course there will be a few people who are still bothered by a gay dude in there unit, but majority don't care. As long as I can trust you to have my back, return fire, get me out of the trenches, I don't care who you sleep with.

That's exactly what it's about.

At 15 i was more physically capable of joining than the avg American adult.

But consent wise you are under the jurisdiction of ur parents and not considered an adult.

The transgendered people I'm assuming meet this criteria. Are there a bunch of transgendered teenagers trying to join the army or something?

This is all a distraction anyways. Yall got to understand how far he is willing to go to distract and change the conversation from what he has coming to him from the Mueller investigation.

You brought up physically capable.

Being that I was physically capable, while we are at it we might as well let 16 yr olds join.

We just had a Navy military training brief about transgender acceptance not too long ago.

Physically capable by taking hormones, the high risk of suicide, the need for therapy? The military is for people with good mental health and physical health. Transgenders dont represent either of those options. If you wanna allow transgender people, we should allow everyone with any mental illness to join.

In the meantime I don't get the logic in banning people literally willing to go and die from doing so.

You'd think that if somebody was serious about building an infantry with numbers they'd let whoever was willing do it.

They're are plenty of people willing to serve in the military. They actually had to cut back years ago. I don't know if it's like that now since Trump is President but when Obama was in the build up in troop numbers under Bush was being cut.

She's beautiful.

Meh

Your opinion

Chris Hayes said it best.

I support this because Obama the fakkit ignored black people whilst bending over backwards to do everything for this group who hated his ass. Let him watch as Trump destroys everything he worked for.

Obamacare saved my uncles life. Cancer survivor since the 90s and he had to have a triple bypass a few years ago. No way in hell with his money situation and his pre existing conditions would he have been able to get that without Obamacare.

Oh yeah.... negged by the way

Because the economy was crap and people couldnt find jobs. I heard pretty much everyone with a useless degree was trying to go be an officer to the point they stopped accepting people and pretty much like if you want to join you gotta enlist with the other folks who dont have degrees.

Hell when I was entering my senior yr I thought about doing the Air force for IT but then I realize I was super straight on the military.

That said I dont knock anyone who does it if you are doing it to provide for your fam and it provides us with enough people somwe dont have to worry about folks being drafted to fight in wars they dont support like in the past.
