With recent key military members discussing transgenders in the military what are your thoughts?

All of this bullshit diversity garbage defeats the purpose of have a UNIFORM military. What is the point of basic/boot camp...to break down the individual and build them back up to be part of a larger or uniform team.

I could care less what people do regarding their personal life. However, it becomes a problem when leadership tries to force acceptance of lifestyles that go against one's religious beliefs. This in it's self creates division instead of uniformity.

I'm glad I'm retired and don't have to put up with ignorant shit like this anymore. There are way more important things leadership should be focusing on other than gender issues! I would love to see how much of the defense budget is pissed away on this crap. Even if it's $1...that money taken away from training, operations, supples, and equipment that can't be used for the mission!!

If you think you are a different gender than what you are at birth...you shouldn't be allowed in the military. Why...because you have serious mental issues that should be dealt with as a civilian. The military isn't the place to decide or to be used as a social experiment by progressive civilians who've never served a day in their life! It's the place you train to support and defend our nation. Mental health care providers need to be focused on the war fighters...especially those with PTSD...not idividuals with gender issues.

Lastly, if my thoughts and comments offend you..call MEO...oh wait...I'm a retiree!!

Crap like this makes me want to leave social media! I'm certainly glad I'm not in "today's" military!

Don't permit sex changes on the tax payers dollar. If a person feels they need to change their sex, allow them to pay for it and get on with the primary mission.
