Can you be so focused on inclusivity that it results in more division and hate?

I do not think so. What the civilian populous is trying to push into our military will happen and when those that really do not belong fail, it will hurt them more than it does us. We are a tough group of people that focus on the mission for the country. I think the straw that will break the camel's back is when we open enlistment to transgenders that right shortly after joining will have gender reassignment surgery. A first termer that before drawing TA 50 is in the OR. I know they will say this is discrimination, no the difference is we never allowed people in before that were known to automatically need surgical care. I would love to have my wife join but she cannot because of her severe asthma. We just do not enlist or commission people we know from day one will have deployment issues. The person that is really going to hurt is the transgender that has surgery at start of their first time and all soldiers will see is someone showing up and going on qtrs slip. They will be isolated and forgotten and not because they are transgendered, other soldiers that get con leave before proving their value get the same thing. Why enlist someone in that you know up front this is the misery they will suffer?

I always found you treat all your soldiers the same. I did not care what color, sex, culture, or gay. Yes during do not ask do not tell I had at least one gay soldier in my platoon. I did not care. Do your job, do not get me in trouble with management, and let me trust you I did not care what you are as long as you are the best soldier you can be. Do these things and I will do my best for you.

Absolutely.

The division and hate as seen in the States at this time is a pot stirred and until people work together they can not get anything accomplished. Teach or children to succeed no matter what color they are and they will. Raise a child in the Way they should go, and they will not part from it as it says in the Bible. It is not this governments job to divide the people.

It's not you. There was a study showing a correlation between sexual harassment training and anger between sexes. I'll try to find it later.

It's not just you, Major. With the media and the PC nazis, wedges between folks is growing everywhere in this country.
