Re: Trump to ban trans people from military
You have no understanding of the military and the functions served within it. As Trapt53 said, most of the military is not involved in and will never see combat. There are administrative positions, intelligence, maintenance, technical, etc. Furthermore, I have worked with many adept pilots who went into combat and are women. Don't speak on subjects you obviously don't understand. The fact that you think the whole of the military should be barred from women just because of their ability in ground combat roles is a profound display of ignorance. In addition to that, you fail to provide any evidence for your claim in regards to transgender men and women.

Re: Trump to ban trans people from military
On the 69th anniversary of the day when President Truman officially desegregated the US military. And not a coincidence.
This is the kind of vindictive act that has Stephen Bannon's fingerprints all over it, not least because the Defence Secretary Mathis knew nothing about it. Yet again, six months in and there are no new policies emerging from the White House for Congress to consider, only the infantile act of revenge which says: what did Obama do? Let's undo it.
As for the service personnel, one of the Navy Seal 6 team that conducted the raid in Pakistan that killed bin Laden but retired shortly before that operation, has written a book (Warrior Princess) about her service and her transition, but now she and every other transgendered veteran along with those still serving is to be discarded as if they were useless freaks.

So there you are, you woke up this morning and it was 1949 all over again. With Jim Crow, not Truman.

Re: Trump to ban trans people from military
No, combat readiness is not important for every role, it's why those aforementioned divisions I mentioned aren't trained for actual combat. Look, I realize you think admitting you're wrong will make you look bad, but doubling down and saying blatantly stupid shit is far far worse.
