Yes folks, those explosions that you’ve likely been
hearing for most of the day, and, I imagine, will continue to hear for quite
some time, are the heads exploding of liberals all across this great
nation. And why is that, you ask? Well it’s because President Donald J. Trump
announced today, via Twitter, that he is not allowing transgender people to
serve in the U.S. military, a complete reversal of ex-president Obummers’s
decision last year to let them serve. In
a series of tweets, President Trump said:
“After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be
advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow Transgender
individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military. Our military must be
focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the
tremendous medical cost and disruption that transgender in the military would
entail. Thank you.” Finally some
commonsense, and I LOVE it!
The sweeping policy decision reverses the gradual
transformation of the military under Obummer, whose administration announced
last year that transgender people could serve openly in the military. Obummer’s
Defense Secretary, Ash Carter, also opened all combat roles to women and
appointed the first openly gay Army secretary.
It was not clear what prompted Mr. Trump’s announcement earlier
today. In June, the administration
delayed a decision on whether to allow transgender recruits to join the
military. At the time, Defense Secretary
James Mattis said an extra six months would give military leaders a chance to
review its potential impact. The
president’s announcement came amid a debate on Capitol Hill over the
Obummer-era practice of requiring the Pentagon to pay for medical treatment
related to gender transition. The
dispute has unfolded as Congress considers a nearly $700 Billion spending bill
to fund the Pentagon.
Troops earlier this year had begun receiving
military training on accommodating transgender troops, but Defense Secretary
Mattis this summer decided to delay allowing them to serve. The decision also comes after Mattis issued
multiple memos indicating that decisions should be based on whether it makes
the military more lethal. One memo put
an end to all training that was not related to military readiness and blasted
Pentagon officials for wasting as much as $28 Million on Afghan camouflage
uniforms that don’t actually blend in with Afghan terrain. All I can say is, it’s about damn time. Thank God our country has a real Commander in
Chief again. Thank you President Trump
for stopping this madness. As someone
who retired from the Navy back in 2002, all this transgender crap hadn’t come
along yet. When I was in it was during
the ‘Slick Willy’s’ “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, and personally I had no
issues with that. But that just wasn’t
good enough for Obummer.
Ya know, it's so annoying when people like Obummer,
and just about every other Democrat who would NEVER even consider risking life
or limb for their country, go around expecting those who chose to do so to adopt
something that will only increase the chances of their injury or death by
pulling resources and focus away from the real training that’s required for
their mission. Obummer did everything he
could to undermine and demoralize men in general, the military was an easy
target for him and a high value one at that.
This was a great decision by President Trump. The military is not the
place for gender or sexual politics. It
is a simple matter of fact that transgender individuals are more prone to
depression and suicide and to give them guns in a stressful situation is almost
certain to lead to the loss of innocent lives.
Furthermore, the American taxpayer should not be forced to subsidize the
tremendous costs associated with these surgical procedures.
Just because those serving in the military are
essentially little more than a captive audience, doesn’t mean that they should
be exploited by Democrats trying to force their twisted morals on the rest of
us. What the vast majority of those on
the left seem to forget is that the military is not there to be treated as some
sort of Petri dish for kinky leftists to conduct their perverted experiments
on. The military is there as a fighting
force, and the sole purpose for its existence is to keep this country safe from
attack and to put the fear of God into anyone who might think that attacking
the United States would be in any way a good idea. Allowing gays and transgenders to serve does
absolutely nothing to improve combat readiness.
If anything it only serves to weaken it, which is just what those on the
left want to see happen. After eight
long years of having someone who was simply not up to the task of being
Commander in Chief, it would appear that at last we finally do.
