Transgenders In The Military
Unless you have served in the active duty military you have no right to even discuss these issues. It takes a lot of guts to sign up and lose many rights you have had for a given period of time. I volunteered to serve and went through this experience at 17 years old. When I served, segregation was still in effect and that was wrong. The Navy not only made me a man quickly it introduced me to the honor of being a veteran of the United States Military. Even the government can’t deny me the right of being “Honorably” Discharged. If you don’t have the desire to volunteer to serve in the military they certainly don’t want you for sure C Brewer 8-3-17
Transgenders In The Military
Best response I have read in regards to the 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?
