Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Sunday he believes the military’s ban on transgender Americans serving in the armed forces “should be reviewed.”
While the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy was repealed in 2010, transgender individuals are still prohibited from serving.
In an interview with ABC’s “This Week,” Hagel said he’s “open” to reconsidering the ban.
I wonder what a transgender looks like after 6 weeks in heavy action without access to all their pills and shots?
Fragged around the edges.
@Rich (the conservative one): Is that the male ones or the female ones? Can a man join, claim he’s a woman and get to bunk with women? This is not going to cause any problems, I can tell.
@Redteam:
Heh, well that sounds like a plan!
I wonder if this idea’s being floated to see who will react and what they’ll say.
The shocking deranged stupidity of this administration is almost beyond description. The military exists to protect and defend our nation from enemy military attacks, yet with these deranged leftist ideologues the military is being forced to deal with useless bizarre social experiment distractions that do nothing to support the actual purpose of the military.
The fact that the SecDef believes – especially at a time when the defense budget is being dangerously cut such that actual warfighting capability is being shortsightedly reduced (Russia, anyone?) – that bring emotionally unstable individuals into the military so that military medical budgets can be spent to pay for the ridiculous attempts to further the gender delusion of the disturbed person indicates the disdain that leftists have for the military.
In the Army you cannot have a bible on your desk, can’t say God., can’t talk about God (heaven only knows how the Chaplains get around that), can’t say Christmas. However in the Army you can wear a beard, wear a turban (for respect to muslims), be openly gay and now provisions are being made for transgenders. I suppose if you want to give a briefing one day in a dress and the next day in pants, you can.
They are turning the services into the same thing the NFL has changed into. No longer when I think of the NFL do I think of a manly sport since I have seen the picture of those two guys kissing. It appears 2% of the population is trying to force their deviant lifestyle on 98% of the rest of the population.
As an aside. If you are gay, go for it. However I do not want to be told where and when you stick it and how. You say that you want to be in the mainstream however you do not act that way. Only porno stars and prostitutes talk about their sexual activities as much as the gay community does. Just live your life and stay below the horizon. I used to be sympathetic to the gay community but no more. They want me to be tolerant of their life style but will not be tolerant of mine. -and I have digressed.
Bradley Manning….remember that disasterous story?
Chuck Hagel should be removed from his position for making such an asinine statement before such a dangerously insane policy can be enacted.
It seems we are accelerating towards the cultural trainwreck that leftist philosophy always causes.
@Pete:
Good points.
Too bad Sgt. Hagel never went to any officers’ training college.
He probably is basing his idea on re-runs of M*A*S*H.
They are redefining the fitness standards for infantry and special operations. How much more redefining is this administration going to do? We are redefining our way out of being combat ready for any situation or threat, and it will, unfortunately, cost us too many lives should a redefined force is required to defend the nation or interests.
@David: Awww, just wait til you see the new selection of uniforms. skirts, pants, blouses. Combo uniforms with tops that go with either pants or skirts. Just wait til they figure out how to define the uniform of the day. Let’s see, hmmmm. Okay, decide if you’re a woman or a man today, or somewhere in between, then decide whether it’s a skirt or pants day. After that is decided then decide if they’re gonna operate a tank that day, or plant flowers. This is gonna be one fine military force. And of course they won’t be allowed to salute the flag or say the pledge of allegiance.
I believe that not everyone can be a real WARRIOR AND GUTTS TO PERCIEVE THE ENEMY,
and the strong ability to shoot at the enemy without loosing that split second which kill you,
it”s not for TORMENTED GAYS, OR TRANGENDERS EITHER, WHO HESITATE TO FIGURE THEIR OWN GENDER, WHICH CAUSE OTHER TO BE KILLED ALSO,
PLEASE DON’T FALL INTO THAT EVIL NOOSE WHICH CAN TAKE YOUR LIVES,
WE ARE NOTICING THAT THE OBAMA NEW ROE AS HE BEGAN HIS JOB ,
HAS PRODUCE MORE LIMBS LOST AND MORE DEATHS,
AND MORE DESPERATION OF NOT BEING ABLE TO WIN THEIR WAR, THEY COME BACK WITH THE FEELING OF FAILURE TO WIN A WAR,
THE VETERANS ARE NOT ONLY DEPRESS AND WOUNDED, THEY ARE NEGLECTED BY THOSE
WITH TOP RANK AND WITH THE TASK TO CARE FOR THEM, AND ARE BEING KEPT IN THAT JOB BY OBAMA, WHO DOESN’T GIVE A FLYING F..K ABOUT THEM, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HIS FIRST ORDER OF THE DAY, WHEN IT WAS REVEALED OF THE OUTRAGE ON THE WARRIORS,
THEN YOU FIRE DOWN THE LADDER FROM UPWARD,
BUT WHAT DOES HE KNOW, AND WHAT HAGEL SAY TELL ALL WE WANT TO KNOW OF HIM,
I don’t understand all the reassurances that Michael Sam is just a regular dude. Wonder why that’s necessary? Is there something about him?
