Best
response I've seen in regards to the the negative feedback about transgenders
being banned from the military...
On
joining the military:
Nobody
has a RIGHT to serve in the military.
Nobody!!!
What
makes people think the military is an equal opportunity employer??? Very far from it!!!
The
military uses prejudice regularly and consistently to deny citizens from
joining for being too old or too young, too fat or too skinny, too tall or too
short.
Citizens
are denied for having flat feet, or for missing or additional fingers. Poor eyesight will disqualify you, as well as
bad teeth. Malnourished? Drug addiction? Bad back?
Criminal history? Low IQ? Anxiety?
Phobias? Hearing damage? Six arms?
Hear voices in your head?
Self-identify as a Unicorn? Need
a special access ramp for your wheelchair?
Can't run the required course in the required time? Can't do the required number of push-ups?
Not
really a 'morning person' and refuse to get out of bed before 7:30 a.m.?
All
can be reasons for denial.
The
military has one job. WAR (We break
things and kill bad people) Anything else is a distraction and a liability.
Did
someone just scream 'That isn't Fair'?
War is VERY unfair, there are no exceptions made for being special or
challenged or socially wonderful.
YOU
change yourself to meet military standards - not the other way around.
I
say again: You don't change the
military... you must change yourself!!!
The
military doesn't need to accommodate anyone with special issues. The military needs to WIN WARS.
If
any of your personal issues are a liability that detract from readiness or
lethality, the military thanks you for applying and good luck in future
endeavors. Who's next in line???
