I want more of my taxes going to support wounded and disabled vets, not people who scam the welfare system. I certainly don't want any of my taxes going to pay for "gender reassignment" surgery or the years of post-op treatment and lifetime hormone therapy. So, go ahead and get it whacked off - or one sewn on, whatever the case may be, but just don't expect me to pay for it.

or a Military unit to be effective & efficient against the enemy, it must act in a uniformly in a predictable part of a greater whole with the least amount of variables.

Original Blog Entry: Transgenders in the military... something to consider...

This is right to the point from a Marine I served with .......

Best response I saw in regards to the negative feedback about transgenders being banned again from the military...

From Sgt. Robert Brown US Army

Nobody has a right to serve in the Military. Nobody.

What makes people think the Military is an equal opportunity employer? Very far from it.

The Military uses prejudice regularly and consistently to deny citizens from joining for being too old or too young, too fat or too skinny, too tall or too short.

Citizens are denied for having flat feet, or for missing or additional fingers. Poor eyesight will disqualify you, as well as bad teeth. Malnourished? Drug addiction? Bad back? Criminal history? Low IQ? Anxiety? Phobias? Hearing damage? Six arms? Hear voices in your head? Self-identify as a Unicorn? Need a special access ramp for your wheelchair? Can't run the required course in the required time? Can't do the required number of pushups?

Not really a morning person and refuse to get out of bed before noon?

All can be reasons for denial.

The Military has one job. War. Anything else is a distraction and a liability

Did someone just scream That isn't Fair ? War is VERY unfair, there are no exceptions made for being special or challenged or socially wonderful.

YOU change yourself to meet Military standards. Not the other way around.

I say again: You don't change the Military...you must change yourself.

The Military doesn't need to accommodate anyone with special issues. The Military needs to Win Wars

If any of your personal issues are a liability that detract from readiness or lethality... Thank you for applying and good luck in future endeavors. Who's next in line?
