NM11046 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Lord, I hope not. Those generals are the only things giving my hope that there is some semblance of normalcy, adult perspective and leadership in there. (AND, I've got all my hopes for the 25th Amendment riding on their shoulders) Link to comment

ZRod Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Any chance we ban women from combat again soon? Ya know, like the good old days! 1 Link to comment
NM11046 Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 Soon my friend, soon. Just hang in there. We've got 10-24 months yet ... Heck, if another Playmate or porn star goes public it might happen sooner rather than later. Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Maybe I’ve mentioned this before, but here is a thought I’ve slways had on this. If if our country needs defended, why SHOULDN’T people in groups like this help defend it? Why should we just depend on white, male, straight people to go die for our country? 1 Link to comment

Because they're different and scarry. Like women they can be dangerous and confuse our young men in the heat of combat with thoughts of their genitalia. All jokes aside, I don't think the government should be paying for reassignment surgery, unless it is covered under an insurance policy some how. I also think it would occur on such a small scale that I really could not careless, and the price to legislate this trival issue will cost much more than we would ever spend on paying for the procedure. This is a non-issue created by bigots. Transsexual, bisexual, homosexual, and heterosexual people should all be allowed to serve their country. As you said, why should we stop anyone from volunteering to do a job only 1% have the courage to volunteer for. Edited March 25, 2018 by ZRod 2 Link to comment

It can be argued that their quality of living is low if they can't get the surgery, but it's not a life threatening issue. Even if you're going to consider gender reassignment surgery as a way of preventing depression/suicide, there are lots of other non-insured treatments for depression for other people. If the government doesn't pay for reassignment surgery, or other types of things we can think of (separate dorms), there is literally no reason whatsoever that transgender people shouldn't be allowed in the military.
