Nice deflect. Who cares. You sound like Hillary.
No need to be insulting. Personally, I'd be more offended if there was a draft and people were getting out of it by claiming they were gay. What makes their blood more important than my kids? If they can serve without special treatment or lowering combat readiness standards, let them serve. I don't care who you sleep with either, as long as it isn't a relative of mine. I wouldn't want to see my bloodline tainted with all that liberalism.

And again, I don't care about that. If they can do the job and don't upset combat readiness, who cares?
The military is control of the situation and functioning just fine. If it ain't broke, don't screw around with it.

I've got news for y'all, there HAVE ALWAYS been gays and trans in the Military. Before the sex change thing was a reality, most trans were thought of as crossdressing gays I suppose but the were always there.
I remember knowing both types when I was in and neither were something they would admit but they were there.

Ok I consider that a antisemitic type of outlook on life. You do believe it's immoral for Transgenders to serve our country, but you don't care as long as they don't screw around with your bloodline. Got it now, thanks.

Ohhh, republicans and their segregation. I bet the south is in love with trump, I'm assuming there are multiple statues of him being erected in the south. I mean, build a wall to keep the brown people out, ban Muslims, and god forbid the transgender community wants to serve a country based of freedom.

No - I think the guy is offended by your personal attack. Just my reading comprehension from the string of posts from the outside. But sure - lump it all into a convenient "Liberalism" heading and say that all liberals are the same. It's a common theme on this board. Certainly helps to avoid intelligent conversation when you insult constantly.

Just a general reply on the topic
My personal feeling is I dont really care if they ban transexuals from the military for medical reasons.
My issue is why make a big spectacle of it? I think this was clearly a big political move to pander to the religious right. Because it could have been way more quietly done to just change the policies on non essential medical procedures.

this thread confirms that it truly does matter to people who will save your life. and that's sad.
i've said this before but some of you guys i already know i wouldn't be able to depend on y'all.
too worry about what somebody looks/acts like instead of worrying about who has your back at the end of the day.
that transgendered dude could be the one pulling you out of a truck when you get hit by an IED, but y'all are such damn bigots that you'd preferred somebody who might cut and run when stuff hits the fan for no other reason than someone's appearance or opinion on gender identity.
but hey, this is america and you're allowed to think how you want. just understand that i thank the stars everyday that i didn't have to deploy with 90% of people on this board. would've gotten me killed out there.
bunch of people with no idea how to lead soldiers trying to comment on how to lead soldiers. smh.

Sorry, that is not valid criteria for analysis. it is to me. if someone isn't willing to stand beside a person who is also willingingly putting their life on the line because of a perceived social/mental issue, then what/who else will they also put their personal opinion over the service and well being of fellow soldiers and the country? that's absolutely a valid criteria.

If I'm paying for them to have surgery, sorry, not interested. well this thread is about transgendered in the military. so if i was transgendered, would you serve beside me in iraq? i dunno how many times i have to repeat myself. if the issue is only the cost of surgery, then we should be discussing changing the policy. but trump wants an outright BAN on transgendered personnel altogether. i'm not with that.

So just out of curiosity, am I allowed to believe that transgenders should be allowed to serve but I still have an issue with the government paying for their operations? I don't care if the guy pulling me out of the truck used to be a chick or vice versa... but they could have pulled me out of the truck without tens of thousands of dollars in elective surgery...

Do you honestly believe that if they had tried to quietly change the rules on transgenders in the military that the left would not have noticed and not made a big deal about it?

That's why I see the common sense way of addressing this issue is to stop payment on all elective surgeries and medications in the military.
Not only would it stop what some claim is "the cost associated with it", but also the cost of many things that seem to not fall under what is necessary. The military spends almost three times as much on Viagra as they do transsexual surgery. I'm sure there are many other things that qualify as cost saving measures that are not necessary.
In this way, everyone who wants to serve can serve, but all who want unnecessary medications and surgeries couldn't pass that cost onto the taxpayer.

I wouldn't deny them, but let them pay for it. The taxpayers aren't any more responsible for their sexual needs than they are for the sexual needs of transsexuals.

We feed, clothes, house, equip and take care of their physical and mental needs as they are fighting for us! Would you have them pay for their own bullets too? Ridiculous!

No, just their Viagra. You seem to have a double standard between transsexuals and straight people. I don't.

I support their needs. Just not all of their wants. Just like transsexual surgery.
And you can keep fighting without sex.

Sexual dysfunction by soldiers under stress is a known Medical Condition and you would deny them the medicine they need to overcome it. No. Not right.
