Specifi...<i>Not everyone should serve in the military. Specifically, people with psychological issues should not because the stress of daily life in the military will only bring those issues out and exacerbate them.</i><br /><br />I think that puts it about right. Trans-sexual is a medical diagnosis, not an oppressed minority. All the caveats Gary added are about right too.<br /><br />One odd thing I've noticed is one or more persons who served honorably, and for many years, including some particularly dangerous missions, as men, who transitioned to women after their honorable discharge, are being quoted critiquing President Trump's decision. I can't see that a man who transitioned to a woman after leaving the service has anything to do with it. I don't know why a man would want to do that, especially so late in life, but its none of my business. That's between him and his doctor, until its between her and her doctor.<br /><br />In fact, someone who has fully transitioned and is fully functional in their chosen new sex would be fine for induction to. After that they are not "trans" any more. Its being IN transition that makes a person not really suitable for military service.Siarlys Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083839117838391267noreply@blogger.com
