re: Navy details separation process for transgender personnel - deadline approaching fast.

you are a weak fat man behind a keyboard, come find me shammu.

Meant at 777 the loser.

How did we let this go on for so long without a kickback? This got out of hand years ago. Thankfully we have started restoring some sort of rational thinking in our leaders.

“The medical, surgical, and mental health constraints on individuals who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria are incompatible with the high mental and physical standards necessary for military service,” the memo read.

It’s sad this even has to be said.

Probably should be a case by case basis. My daughter is a youngster at USNA, and she knows the first openly trans student who graduated in 2023 (female to male) from the Academy since this student was on the triathlon team that my daughter is now a part of.

- He graduated top 10 in the class
- by all appearances is excelling at flight school
- was top 5 at nationals senior year
- has had a mastectomy, but no hormones such as testosterone or other surgeries yet since He (she) still competes in the woman’s division and holds a pro card in triathlon. No advantage other than being born with a absurd VO2Max

By all measure, he was a model Midshipman and model officer as well as an elite athlete.

Everyone speaks very highly of him, and he’s not what you call an advocate in anyway.

But the biggest contributor to the VA’s steadily expanding budget has been the unprecedented increase in veterans’ enrollment in disability compensation, a VA program designed to compensate America’s veterans for injuries incurred or aggravated during their military service. The share of veterans receiving disability compensation benefits is increasing rapidly and is at an all-time high. Between 1954 and 2000, the share of veterans receiving disability compensation was very stable, fluctuating between 8 percent and 10 percent. Today, nearly 30 percent of the country’s 18.5 million veterans receive it.

Veterans who enlisted since 2010 have some of the highest rates of disability compensation enrollment even though they were significantly less likely to deploy and faced a substantially lower risk of injury while deployed — only 1 percent of Army service members who enlisted between 2010 and 2015 were wounded in combat.

Don't let facts get in the way. I'm all for Veterans getting what they legitimately deserve, whether it's the GI bill, legitimate disability, and whatever else they deserve. And the ones that did serve and don't abuse the system should speak up as well.

since January? i doubt it.

got any evidence to support this?

I replied to your post but was really replying to the dude that took exception to my statement. You said "there are creative ways" and that's exactly the point.



He's free to do that (take exception to my statement), but I'm not talking about folks like him, who served and got no disability, or served and got legitimate disability.

I'm talking about the explosion of disability claims that have occurred recently, as the article points out. It's like any other government program: full of fraud, waste, and abuse.
