Maybe, just maybe, we as a society can have a discussion, about how the military is different in many ways from civilian life.

Which would mean, among other things, that laws and policies in civilian life to ensure equal opportunity for women, are not always appropriate in the military.

Liberals are caterwauling about Trump’s ban on transgenders in the military. They do so from what I think is a false premise, that the military should conform to how civilian life treats such people.

WE should have the meanest toughest fighting force needed to defend our country. And if that means transsexuals or women or other groups can’t serve or can’t serve in certain positions, tough blank. Go bitch about it on MSNBC. The military is not the civilian world.

Your thinking in these matters is, IMO, flawless!

I have absolutely no problem with women or trans people serving...just not in certain roles.

The military is, as Rush says, “To kill people and break things” Anything that makes them less effective in that role is to be AVOIDED!

There are many physical and mental disorders that preclude military service.

Gender Identity DISORDER has always been one until our former pRESIDENT thought he would stick it to the military one last time before he left office.

Gender Identity Disorder is a narcissistic personality disorder.

Will it cause disorder and harm the military?

Of course, as any rational person can see.

But it's not about the military...or the mission.

It's about them.

WE should have the meanest toughest, best trained, best equipped fighting force in the world, bar none.

And I agree with you regarding what that would mean.
