Of course, they cling to that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/entry\/chelsea-manning-donald-trump-military-transgender_us_5978959fe4b0a8a40e84234d\">Manning fellow<\/a> who was a traitor to his country and claims to be transgender because it got him released from prison by the social justice warrior in the White House. <\/p>\n<p>A number of people who did serve honorably in the military and then came out are pissed off. Folks like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.al.com\/news\/index.ssf\/2017\/07\/trump_is_wrong_transgender_ala.html\">Junea Childers<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2017\/07\/26\/opinions\/kristin-beck-on-trump-transgender-tweet-opinion\/index.html\">Kristin Beck<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/entry\/transgender-airman-defies-trump_us_59794d34e4b0da64e876901b\">Logan Ireland <\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, well, they didn&#8217;t serve openly as transgenders, they didn&#8217;t expect to have their transition paid for by the American taxpayers, and their units didn&#8217;t have to make accommodations in order for them to serve, so there&#8217;s a difference.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Post couldn&#8217;t help themselves pointing out that &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/wonk\/wp\/2017\/07\/26\/the-military-spends-five-times-as-much-on-viagra-as-it-would-on-transgender-troops-medical-care\/?utm_term=.8962553bd656\">The military spends five times as much on Viagra as it would on transgender troops\u2019 medical care<\/a>&#8221; as if those two things are related. They also published some stupid crap about &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/retropolis\/wp\/2017\/07\/26\/a-history-lesson-for-trump-transgender-soldiers-served-in-the-civil-war\/?utm_term=.f05572626c76\">A history lesson for Trump: Transgender soldiers served in the Civil War<\/a>&#8221; which isn&#8217;t about transgender people at all &#8211; it&#8217;s about women who wore pants on the battlefield. Not a single instance of a transgender person was mentioned in the story. We&#8217;re constantly being told that cross-dressing is different from transgender, but no one told the Washington Post, I guess.<\/p>\n<p>That angry old queen, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/entry\/george-takei-trump-transgender-military-ban_us_59789c75e4b0a8a40e843b70\">George Takei piled on<\/a> Trump, along with <a href=\"http:\/\/deadline.com\/2017\/07\/hollywood-reacts-trump-transgender-military-ban-reaction-1202136180\/\">a bunch of other Hollywood has-beens<\/a> (never-weres). Folk who spent the last two decades demeaning military service now act as if not allowing transgender people to serve is some egregious violation of their rights. There is no right to serve in the military. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.military.com\/join-armed-forces\/disqualifiers-medical-conditions.html\">Military.com<\/a> provides a list of medical conditions that would preclude military service, should we find a way for everyone to serve despite the costs to the taxpayers and the costs to military order and discipline? <\/p>\n<p>Allowing a bunch of people to put on uniforms knowing that they would never be deployed is bad business for the Defense Department. Everyone who has no military experience seems to have an opinion that is completely devoid of common sense and they&#8217;re all reaching for straws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The whole world has gone crazy because the President announced yesterday that he wouldn&#8217;t allow transgender &hellip; <a title=\"Reaching\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=73626\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Reaching<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":35300,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[237],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-big-pentagon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=73626"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73626\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/35300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=73626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=73626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=73626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
