trump... so disappointing... such a failure. i had high hopes

But the leaders of the military haven’t said there is any of this with the existing transgender troops currently serving. While all these theories sound great, shouldn’t the empirical evidence from the guys in charge be what we go by? To that end, wouldn’t they be the first to call out issues they’ve had with this transgender troops?

The RAND study run for the Pentagon also lent on empirical evidence from foreign militaries having no issue with transgender troops as well. As someone like ACE says though, the American military holds itself to a greater st… oops sorry I just threw up. Carry on.

yeah exaclty the armed forces personnel themselves have not said anything and supporting my previous posts from my bro’s experience, no one has ever complained anything about gay, trans issue having a distubance in the armed forces. It is the “experts” - the media, conservative freaks, Trump - who have never been to the battlefield who states IT poses threat and blah blah…

After all we live in a society full of experts left and right and put words into everyone’s mouths.

As I’ve previously stated, I fully support anyone willing to get killed in service of the country. If I thought differently and were a senior military leader though, I’d probably keep my mouth shut out of fear of having my life destroyed by the tolerant left.

[ltj]

So are you saying military leaders fear liberals and are consciously costing American lives over it?

That is a scorching hot take. Jeez.

As I don’t believe that having transgendered folks in the military endangers American lives, no I’m not saying that.

hmm my brother and his ex army officers didn’t seem to be bothered. After all they’d rather have someone who is best at what they do rather than look “right”

if my life is on the line and the best is some blue colored Smurf but you tell me Smurfs are banned…well I will speak up for the sake of my life and lives of others that we need Smurfs and all abled bodies in the force. We need the best out of the entire ocean and not restrict oursevles to a lake.

Your brother is a senior Pentagon official whose entire life is the military and whose opinion is sought out by the media?

nope, west point grad captain of the army infantry division. M. Miley would have no problem saying what he has to say…these military people have very thick skin and very very different from corporate titans…they don’t have time for BS. these are the guys who dropped atomic bombs and killed +400,000 in the worst act of war crime in the history but this was done to save our men. They don’t care about some liberals and CNN lol…

And who are you?..you seem to be an expert in this matter…perhaps from direct experience?

[Robotech]

West Point grad? Didn’t you say that you came from West Asia?

West Asians cannot go to West Point? must be a new Trump agenda he recently passed

[infinitybenzo]

Yup to be exact i am from the Himalayas - used to hunt wolves with my pet eagles climbed the peaks of everest and K2 during summer breaks. Now look at me now. how far i’ve come. I am a cfa charterholder and one of my brothers is a west point grad wow. American Dream!!

[Robotech]

That’s awesome. It’s very difficult to get into any of the military academies without having political connections. Being a foreigner would be even more difficult. Maybe your family has political clout, but I know nothing of your family. Congrats on living the dream. For real.

Glad to know that it is your opinion that all senior Pentagon officials are beyond reproach, act selflessly at all times, and would put their careers on the line over an issue that is really inconsequential in the overall context of the US military machine.

My post where i said i am from Mongolia was a joke…I don’t remember the whole post but the thread turned quite sarcastic so I joined in…I am actually from CA. Went to school there and moved out to NYC after school.

yeah at the end of the day what do we know? We are some cfa charterholders looking at some client’s portfolio or writing couple research reports on some random company in a comfortable high rise office.

It is basically no data, no direct experience folks arguing…just opinion vs opinion.

Marcus Lutrell might disagree with this statement as he’s stated this was a consideration when deciding what to do with some individuals they encountered while on a mission in Afghanistan. The ‘politcally correct’ decision they made could be cited as the ultimate reason for the death of 19 SEALs.

So you suggest what? The killing of unarmed individuals? That would help things over there im sure. It was Korengal valley why even bother with that place. But sure its the liberal medias fault they decided not to commit a freaking war crime.
