Another Reason To Keep Your Kids Out of the Military

“We’re losing qualified soldiers because of this,” said a transgender Army intelligence [sic] officer at Joint Base Lewis-McChord south of Seattle who used to be a man until “he” spent “more than $50,000 on her transformation.”

“This” was the U.S. military’s ban on transgender individuals serving openly in the armed forces.

Although Capt. Peace legally changed his/her name, birth certificate, passport, and drivers license, and was known to his/her commanders as a woman, his/her peers were “under formal orders to refer to her as a man.”

That was in 2015. Things changed on June 30, 2016, when Secretary of Defense Ash Carter announced that transgender troops can now openly serve in the military. Said Carter: “The reality is we have transgender service members serving in uniform today. Americans who want to serve and can meet our standards should be afforded the opportunity to do so.” There are an estimated 15,500 soldiers, airmen, Marines and sailors in the military who are transgender, with more to come since the DOD will begin paying for hormone replacement therapy. preemptive strikes, fight wars, invade, attack, occupy, drop bombs, assassinate people, torture people, takes sides in civil wars, unleash civil unrest, and otherwise harass the locals.

9. Willingness to kill on command. This, after all, is what soldiers do. Don’t bother asking if the person you are told to kill is a threat to anyone in the United States. Don’t bother asking why the people you are told to kill are enemies of the United States. Don’t bother asking about the morality of killing civilians. Don’t bother asking if the killing is really necessary. Just be willing to kill whomever and whenever and wherever you are told to kill and you will get a shiny medal. Just make as many widows and orphans as you can. And try not to leave any witnesses so you don’t get accused of war crimes.

10. Passing the buck. When you are criticized for bombing, maiming, killing, and making widows and orphans for no good reason, you, just like your supporters outside of the military, can simply blame the politicians, the generals, the Joint Chiefs, the Congress, the commander in chief, the hawks in the administration, the defense contractors, the military-industrial complex, Zionists, or the Israel Lobby. Just take the attitude that no soldier is responsible for the death and destruction he inflicts as long as it is state-sanctioned death and destruction.

The military needs qualified soldiers. Just like the Mafia or a street gang.
