Transgender Navy Seal calls out Trump


I'm active duty over 10 years so far and this constant social experiment with our military needs to stop.

How is allowing transgendered, people who are willing to mutilate themselves and obviously have mental issues, ok because it is socially acceptable. Yet someone with Asthma can't get in, but wants to serve.

Allowing a woman, that used to be a guy, to live, sleep and shower in the same berthing as other women not only makes it an uncomfortable living enviroment but affects morale.

We are here to do a job, often away from families, and these aren't destractions you need in theater.

Trump is right in his actions, but just often doesn't deliver it in a PC way.

His biggest problem honestly is that he loves the media attention.

He could have simply ended the policy quietly and it wouldn't have been a huge national story like this.

Same with his travel ban. Was there really any reason to make such a big deal of it? Would Hawaii , for example, even have noticed if suddenly Syrians weren't allowed to come into the US? Doubtful

He's an attention whore, and lives by the adage that even bad attention is better than no attention.

Not all transgender people want to mutilate themselves.

I have to kick people with asthma out of the military nearly every week because they can't complete simple runs and hikes. It's a performance issue as well as a health issue.

Now there are folks with asthma that can meet the training standard. You know why? Because they never have trouble with their training. It's not a one-size-fits-all condition. There are degrees of severity.

Same with transgender. If they aren't disruptive to anything what's the problem? Many of them have served and retired without telling anyone they were transgender.

Did you have a problem with gay people openly serving in the military? I remember when people went nuts over that in 1993. Now I don't hear anything about it.
