Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez just opened four slots for these new recruits. No doubt this brings joy to the Commander-in-Chief.

I doubt I would insult Maxwell Q. Klinger like that. He would shift gears and do his job when it matteres.

Not unless the ‘extra market parts’ are what they are hopping the military will supply. til then, they just pretend to be private Klinger.

Probably from the same study that claimes Trans’ are twice as likely enlist and serve as the average person. That is, another bit of advocacy scholarship.

BTW, I once broke down those alleged numbers. NPR and a couple other sources I looked at put total military personnel numbers (active and reserve) at a little over 2.2 million people. 15,000 transgendered troops would mean roughly 1 trans for every 150 people, or a % rate of about 0.7%, if my math is correct. That percentage is more than twice the unsubstantiated activist claim of 0.3%, and more than 3 times higher than the “best case” statistical research of a trans-activist named Lynn Conway, who found that the at most 1 in 500, and as few as 1 in 2500, less than 10 years ago. And that’s not even looking at the somewhat older, but non-partisan, studies in Europe that found it was closer to 1 in 30,000 for men and as rare as 1 in 100,000 in women.

And besides, noone questioned whether or not Kingler was wired right. The character was funny and harmless because he was pulling an absurd stunt that noone believed anyway.

The current crop of sickos are not only truly mental, but are pushing their agenda in the real world, not in the fictional land of Hollyweird.

Something has gone horribly wrong..

Klinger was a pretty complex character.

He wore dresses out of his desire to return to Toledo but he was not anti military or a coward.

Question is: Are they trans-patriot.. or democrats..

Could be either or both I suppose, but I believe they're simply homosexuals who claim they were born with the wrong sex organs.

I'm not buying it, if a man who wants to have sexual relations with other men he's a homosexual, and surgery plus daily hormone cocktails won't make him a woman. The moral and biblical laws against buggery apply before and after the surgery.

That something is America's abandonment of the Christian moral code that the founders and Americans in general honored up until God-hating atheistic liberals became a major sector of the American electorate in mid-20th century, and are now the majority and growing like a weed.

I'm 78 and I probably won't be around to see the last days of the US as we adult Americans have known it, but my children and their children probably will.

I think you're right. They're all homosexual perverts, but it seems that many of them want to actually become the opposite sex. No matter what they want they're made like God wanted them and no surgery or hormone will change who they really are.

OTOH, many thousands of male homosexuals have accepted Christ as Savior and have been cured of their un-natural desire for same-sex relations. Most of those are now living normal lives with a wife and children. But only God can do that, and most homosexuals don't want God to have any part in their miserable lives. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

Are they serious?

They’re probably recruiting them as we speak.

I think you will be, but at least you have had the blessing of seeing and experiencing America's greatest days.

It's really astonishing and horrifying for all of us to be living this fall in real time, but I believe we are appointed for the generations in which we are born. Destroyers only think they will finally succeed.

Alls I wanted to do was grow my hair a little longer than regulation, drink Wild Turkey and blast my JBLs in the barracks. And I caught plenty of hell for it.

These queers wouldnt have made past the recruiter, let alone the blanket parties in basic.

Can you say, “Fundamental Transformation?”

I knew you could!
