It's not proof because we have no idea if he/she had the mental illness before service.

And in doing so, provides an example of why they should be banned. Their personal "battles" will always surface. That trait is exactly what is not needed in a fighting force that demands cohesion, unity of purpose, and trust.

Strawman. Trump didn't say anything about the worthiness of the transgenders. He said having them in the military is too expensive and an all around pain in the arse


All he had to say was we are not paying for the surgery but you can stay in.

What this SEAL is standing for is SELF over SERVICE. It is supposed to be the other way around.

To put it another way, military service not a right, just as being a usps employee is not a right of every citizen.

It just so happens that military service has requirements that conflict with allowing many in the us population from serving.

It's more proof than biased speculation.

I disagree. It would damage her argument to claim otherwise. That hardly makes her unbiased.

I love when people make snarky threads/comments when they don't even understand the concept of what they're talking about.

Fine. If you choose to believe she/he was a completely mentally healthy person before the service and then broke down to a point to changing her gender, that is on you.

I choose to believe the more logical scenario in which he/she had deep mental/security issues before, during and after service.

You were worthy, when you didn't falsify a government document and mark female at the recruiting office.

You were a male and marked male, no matter what you identify as post service.

While in the teams you had a full beard, high test and low estrogen levels, and a wife who you put your penis in and impregnated. You were not transgender, you were a full on fricking man.

Now if you want to join the military as a social program for free anatomy alteration we don't need you. There are plenty of vaginaless dudes and balless girls we can sign up for much cheaper and can actually serve for their entire service rather than "transition."

If I were her I would be worrying about my highest ranking Naval Commander calling her/him in and losing his/her retirement pay for threatening POTUS. His/Her military bearing should teach him/her, she could have worded it way differently with more respect to CIC and made it, non-threatening.

Something tells me she didn't say this...But DU will be orgasmic for days.

Yeah...no.

Was he a man or a "woman" when he served? Being forced to hide his mental illness most likely contributed to his ability to serve.

Really? The military isn't a come one, come all organization. There are parameters that you must fit in so as to optimize warfighting and be efficient.

How does accepting individuals with massive counseling needs and a propensity for self harm (the military has a hard enough time tackling the suicide issue as is) further combat effectiveness?

We should not as taxpayers seek to promote an inefficient DoD. It's purpose is to provide tools in support of foreign policy. Does accepting transgender feeling individuals further that? Are the tiny number of trans types worth it for DoD? Should paralyzed individuals or those with chronic, non-communicable disease be allowed to join?
