| Illusion said: The military is not the place for the weak and those that need special protection. A military is about strength and getting the strongest and most dangerous people out there behind machine guns to KILL the enemy. If you feel any compulsion to identify yourself as a person with special needs or accommodations then I am sorry but the military is not the place for you. The military is the body that will fight to protect you from the radical extremists who would like to throw you off buildings, but they can't have you near the front lines to do that. I support President Trump's decision. |
Honest questions:
1. Do you think physical strength is the most important quality for noncombative soldiers to perform their designated jobs effectively (IT, for example)? Do you think trans people born male are incapable of being as strong as straight males?
2. Do you think women have no place in the military in any capacity and are unfit for service even in the noncombative roles that make up the majority of the military? If they do have a place, why don't trans people?
3. Would hormones for those who want/need them be any significant burden on military healthcare compared to everything else the military already covers for its service men and women? If reassignment surgeries were not covered by military benefits and trans people used the same facilities as everyone else, what special needs would they have that the military is not already equipped to deal with?
4. If you met or exceeded all the same aptitude requirements as any other soldier, would being denied the ability to serve based on your sexual orientation be a violation of your civil rights?
