They were able to join because the military lowered their standards because of the low recruitment numbers lol

Do you even know what the real issue is?

Never said it’s similar to asthma, but trans people do have to take hormones for the rest of their lives, and there’s a lot of disqualifiers for military service as it is. It’s not like joining a health spa. It’s not just the lives of trans, it’s the lives of everyone in the unit. And I know that combat units won’t be able to handle that yet. And you may say that they should, but you can’t just throw one in there and expect them to handle it, especially when it’s a job that deals with life and death.

You don’t understand. You’re just a virtue signaler that won’t volunteer to join the military.

Do I care? Nope. But i wouldn’t have a problem if there’s a waiver, and keeps them out of combat arms. Can’t take hormones when you’re in a long ass firefight or skirmish. Can’t stop evading from an enemy threat just so you can administer those meds. Convoys won’t risk driving over IEDs just to deliver them.

They’d be better suited for support roles if anything.

Keep being butthurt about stuff you don’t understand.

Do you know what disqualifies you from military service? You don’t. If you’re prescribed pills for depression or even for being suicidal, you’re disqualified for military service. You can’t even lie about it, because they use a genesis program that will list everything.

You’re just a virtue signaler.

I’m not an expert on the trans subject, obviously. But I know it would be problematic in the military, especially in combat situations.

I don’t mean to come off as insensitive, but being a veteran, I have a different perception.

Sorry you live in a town where people don’t understand you.

Military intelligence is an oxymoron, no such thing. I wouldn’t have a problem if trans or people with asthma join, they’d have to be non deployable and have a desk job or something similar

People with asthma, flat feet, depression, heart murmurs, etc can’t join the military. Why should people with gender dysphoria be allowed to join?

People who would never join the military are the ones complaining. And if they do join, they should be limited to non deployable jobs.

Ok. Just have the navy suck your dick. They’d be happy to do it.

I’m not a big Hegseth fan, I just want to make sure no one is talking shit about his army unit tattoo. Or misidentifying his army unit tat as a neo Nazi symbol. Cause there’s been a few of those already. I know that’s the least of everyone’s worries, and I can understand the accusations with the cross, cause every grunt I know has some kind of military tribute type tattoo.

People have died wearing that patch and shouldn’t be categorized as a “neo Nazi symbol”.

I know the cross has been the main focus, but like you said, he’s either a devout Christian history buff or he’s just a plain fascist.

It would, you’re too lazy to think for yourself.

It’s Latin for “God wills it” lol used in the first crusades.

Hegseth is Christian. What do you expect? He himself said he’s a devoted Christian. Even attend Jimmy Carter’s funeral in a church with those same crosses.

I’m aware of the far right uses of the cross and some of the phrases.

Other than the book he wrote about the crusades, none of these posters have provided any proof that he’s a fascist Nazi.

“It’s called the Jerusalem cross. It’s a historic Christian symbol. In fact, interestingly recently I attended briefly the memorial ceremony of former President Jimmy Carter, on the floor of our national cathedral, on the front page of his program was the very same Jerusalem Cross. It is a Christian religious symbol,” Hegseth said.

Yea, definitely a fascist Nazi. This is from an interview posted on PBS.org

None of those tats are neo-nazi affiliated lmao

If you think that the army patch and the slogan “Ne desit virtus” are Nazi affiliated, you’re an idiot.

“We the People”? It’s in the preamble in the constitution.

And because he has Christian symbols, that makes him a fascist Nazi?

Wow. And you think maga is a cult.

You don’t know what army patches and slogans are, but you think it’s a lie lol wow

“Ne desit virtus” is the slogan of the 187 infantry regiment of the 101st Airborne Division. It means “Let Valor Not Fail”. That image above that slogan is the unit patch.

We infantry dudes usually have tattoos like this, nothing “Nazi” or “Fascist” about it.

However, as an enlisted grunt, the infantry officers, like Major Hegseth, are a different breed.

The afghan refugees can fuck off. Only the terps should have been allowed refuge. And they have to be checked.

Police already have swat teams. Maybe if people obey the law, they won’t have to worry about MRAPs rolling down their streets.

Maybe the civilians should have those tools instead. Cause the citizens are supposed to keep the government in check, not the other way around.

But the left wing citizens are right. We should depend on the government for our safety and provide us with goods and services. They’d never lie to us. Burning down establishments and destroying property will show the right wing citizens to have different beliefs!!

Ok, and?
