Staff Sgt. Byun Hee-soo told reporters after the decision, “I can protect the nation as an excellent soldier regardless of my gender identity.”

SEOUL—A transgender soldier who enlisted in South Korea’s army as a man who wanted to continue serving as a woman after sex reassignment surgery has been discharged, with a military panel saying she had violated regulations. The fate of Staff Sgt. Byun Hee-soo, who is in her 20s, was viewed by many in South Korea’s LGBT community as a test case for the role of gay and transgender people in the socially conservative country. Although the LGBT community has gained more acceptance in recent years, South Korea is still less tolerant...

When and if the shite hits the fan in South Korea, they’re going to need literally every person they can get to carry a gun.

Rules are rules though.

So those suffering with depression or PTSD or any other form of mental illness, in your opinion, dont belong in the military?

Absolutely they do not.
If you struggle with stressful situations you cannot be deployed.
Despite what many people seem to believe the military exists to wreck shite, kill people, etc. It's not a jobs program.

It’s a welfare program that low educated MEN and WOMEN join to feel good about themselves and collect welfare checks forever. No transgenders allowed on the scheme!

I was actually discussing this in another thread recently and there is a difference between chronic and acute forms of mental illness....would you agree? A soldier coming back from tour may suffer from an acute bout of PTSD that can be treated and he can continue to serve...is different from someone who is suffering a form of chronic depression that may or may not improve...IDK I guess it depend on the severity. With regards to trans gendered folks I dont see how gender dysphoria would effect someones combat ability but I guess you feel differently..curious as to why?

Because he ain’t letting his hard earned tax payer money go to some man to get his wiener cut off! His tax payer money is only for his neighbor’s kid to go sit in a desert in the Middle East or for his buddy at the plants disability paycheck!!

I agree wholeheartedly.

I have a buddy who got hit by IED. Concussion but no serious damage. A guy with him died. He got discharged for PTSD. He says it was correct call as he couldn't do his job anymore.

I mean trannies have what, a 30% suicide rate?
They are seriously mentally ill.

That’s a great point.

No one in the military has killed themselves!
