Pentagon’s Transgender Policy Defies Common Sense
Daily Signal ^ | 6/30/2016 | Roger Severino

Posted on 07/01/2016 6:29:20 AM PDT by milton23

On Thursday, Secretary of Defense Ash Carter announced that the U.S. military is dropping its policy of treating male and female troops according to their biology—to be replaced by a policy based on a radical new gender ideology.

This change was not precipitated by military needs but by political correctness. After all, the military is not stretched so thin that it must make special accommodations to help attract the estimated 0.6 percent of Americans who self-identify as transgender in order to effectively fight and win our wars.

It’s not designed to advance the cause of common sense. It’s designed to weaken America.

Why the heck aren't congresscritters with a military background speaking up? What is going to happen to these gender-confused people if the enemy captures them?

This is INSANE.

As I said on another thread, this will work wonders for unit cohesion.

There can be no other explanation. It weakens us in an untold number of ways - morale, recruitment of weak officers, preoccupation with incredibly stupid minutiae, wasting millions of manhours on pure garbage.

It doesn’t “defy common sense” when viewed through Obama’s lens of “how do I destroy America in the few months I have left?”

I hope to God Trump undoes all this crap on Day 1 and restores some sanity to the nation.

The Obama administration claimed that the existence of Gitmo MOTIVATED terrorists who want to attack us. Since its well known how intolerant they are toward homosexuals and others with confused sexual orientations, it seems that this new policy would only provide ADDITIONAL MOTIVATION to attack us. They will now perceive our military as a bunch of deviants.

More dangerous hypocrisy from the Obama administration.

“how do I destroy America in the few months I have left?”

****************

That has been his goal from day one. He’s running a little behind schedule so is pulling out all the stops now.

What is really means is something sick. I would guess that tranny surgery is expensive and several operations over a period of time.
The freaks will join the Army, declare as a tranny, and the military will pay every penny of their “healthcare” and they get mutilated. They will get light duty as they recover. This is just a scheme to get taxpayer funded sex chance surgery.

When I was in USAF basic training the women used barracks that had originally been built for men...We had just one big shower room in each building..There were several shower heads coming out of the wall all around the room and from the ceiling...

of the 50 women making up each “flight” in the buildings sometimes there 12 or more in the shower room at one time ...

Are they requiring women to have men in those showers with them ???

Granted the showers may have been renovated since my time but even then the young women just out of high school didn’t hesitate to toss off all their clothes or change in front of other women...they weren’t shy...

also at my first base, Hamilton Air Force Base, Marin County, California, we sunbathed on the flat roof of our barracks...there was a 3 foot partition around the edge of the roof giving some privacy, luckily,because some of the girls liked to take of their bikini tops and lie on their backs...

Men were not allowed in our buildings and some of the women walked down the hallways from their rooms to the bathroom etc in extremely see through negligees or with just a towel around them...

Those women felt safe from prying eyes of men in the shower and on the roof etc..

But now the women’s barracks will be worse than Target...

At Hamilton we all had our own single room as the barracks had been built for WWII pilots-in-training but in Basic we had 2, 3 women to a room..

the doors were locked at night in basic so we couldn’t get out...will the women now be locked in with men ???

Well, it is not even 0.6% of trannies.

2% are homosexual
About 2% of that 2% are tranvestites.

So that comes to 0.02 x 0.02 = 0.0004 of Americans are trans.

If some 4 million are in the military, that’s only 1600 “protected species” who are out to ruin the military because they (Washington) hate America. ... Like Bergdahl.

You have to understand, there are two diametrically opposed meanings depending on whether the phrase is rendered as “common sense”, two words, or compressed into a single or hyphenated compound word, “commonsense” or “common-sense”.

The first means that which should be conventional wisdom, that any person with some degree of critical thinking capability should be able to arrive at the conclusions just from knowledge gained over a lifetime, while the second expression has become Newspeak for going along with the otherwise mindless Groupthink of conformity. We frequently hear the second being used in conjunction with some part of the agenda the progressives want to emphasize, as in referring to “commonsense gun control”. Usually this means seizure or total prohibition to “civilians”.

So this is now “commonsense overhaul of the structure of the military”, because that is the part of the agenda the progressives are pushing. That use of the word has nothing at all to do with the original meaning of the phrase, common sense.

The effect is to further gut and hamstring the effectiveness of our fighting forces, so with the artificial handicaps placed upon them, it will then be a “fair fight” when facing ISIS, i.e., ISIS wins almost by default, because the now clumsy structure of command and control cannot get out its own way.

The Current Regime has a very skewed idea of what constitutes “fairness”.

As the Democrats continue to weaken the US against other countries and against Islam, and to disarm Americans, and to weaken the morality, they are playing right into the hand of Islamic Mullahs and extremists. Its like they are saying: “See? We are the Great Satan, no morality, no ethics, and hates of God, Please come and attack us”. What is wrong with Democrats? Have they all lost their minds?

They should start with the Old Guard and Marine Presidential Guard. Let the country be revolted by these freaks guarding the Tomb of Unknown Soldier and Oval Office.

What better way to slap the faces of traditional Military brass - the kind that see the function of the military as ‘winning wars’ and protecting the Nation?

It’s a ‘self purge’ act...one every good person in the military must resist.

This is the way they get “women” onto the seal team.

Our corupt,govt will claim, “We have the strongest women in the world. They are men in dresses.”

We need a whole lotta caligula endings to occur in this country. And very soon. To save the country.

Yes. It is insanity and nihilism (evil/anti-human (anti-reason)) and a Justice System which normalizes drugging and mutilating your own body and telling little kids it is “Good” (Satanism) to drug the body and mutilate it for a fantasy, is a vice system and it is a lie. Just like killing your own genetic offspring is evil and nihilism and a vice, as is sodomizing others.

Males can never be a female and to pretend they can, is to embed insanity into children (like Nero did). It is a reversal back to tribalism/paganism (irrationality) like in Caligula and Nero’s times where sodomizing boys was “normal”, too, as was dressing and acting like women and castrating little boys.

A “ US Justice” (virtue) System has to be Rational, promote Truth (Natural Law and God’s Laws (Christian Ethics)), and promote “public virtue” (Montesquieu). Natural Laws are based on Right Reason and science (logic/reason) and mutilation of a body and denial of Reality is actually insanity. You can never promote insanity or irrationality in a “Just” Law.

All behaviors, like mutilating oneself (perverse, warped “desires”) are caused by child abuse and neglect, and those behaviors should never be encouraged or embraced. They should be treated for mental illness. (John Hopkins psychiatrist). Homosexuality is also a learned behavior as the muslim boy harems teach us-—and Sparta and Samurai (History) and common sense (priests who molest boys report they were molested boys). All behavior is learned and warped, evil behavior is normalized by child abuse/child neglect where perverts are allowed to shape the Minds of children (like a Nero).
