This insanity is yet another reason my kids will not serve. This militant degeneracy is a symptom of late Republic collapse, and they can find someone else’s kids for fodder.
Is it any wonder that ships look the way they do? No doubt the ODs and Captains are afraid to tell them/he/she/it to get over the side and scrape and paint.
The whole point of following DEERS (which may not simply be toggled back and forth at will by the service member) is to prevent the member from wanton declarations of gender identity with an expectation everyone else will adapt. There is a rigorous process, that includes medical, which must be followed that serves to reinforce good order and discipline. And respectful treatment of everyone.
But don’t let that get in the way of your breathless indignation.
Each branch of the federal government has internal operating procedures, as provided by the Constitution. At some point in the past, the Overton Window of acceptance began to turn a blind eye to the Executive Branch coloring outside the lines. What harm could there be, right? And then the White House simply began to bypass Congress whenever they knew that couldn’t get an actual law passed.
I submit that this slippery slope has led us to the event horizon of a black hole.
Problem they refuse to address, or even admit exists, is that sentence in Austin's directive that states, "Enabling All Qualified Americans to Serve ..." The word qualified implies that there are minimum qualifications and disqualifying factors. A lifetime or so ago, I was in recruiting, and despite my beer soaked memory, I recall there were thousands of disqualifying factors. One testicle? Nope, can't join. Too old or too young, sorry. Serious criminal conviction? Well, it requires a waiver from CNRC that ain't gonna be granted. Mental health issues or insanity? If treated and overcome, might get a medical waiver. However, an ongoing mental problem is automatically disqualifying, as it should be considering the potential responsibilities of military service. News flash: A person who thinks they are a puppy, a pet rock, or the opposite gender is, using technical terms, bat$#it crazy and ineligible for military service.
It's a jobs program. The people who live to enforce this have to do something for a living, and there are many departments in many schools supplying and credentialing that perceived need. The people they administer are collateral damage.
The political units will exist as long as the revolution exists. Who decides?
The part I don't get is they cannot assess a recruit who has not been stable in their gender for 18 months post transition (an acknowledgment of potential complications), yet they can allow someone to transition on active duty, flip the DEERS switch, and go right to duty in their new gender.
If one of the great science fiction writers: Orwell, Asimov, Pournelle had written and submitted a story lampooning the possibility of today's gender/sex difficulties/problems in the military back in the '50s, he would have been told: "Too far-fetched. Won't sell."
I'm old enough to remember when CPL Klinger was a comedy trope on MASH for a guy who wanted to get out of his service. Now it seems that's the gateway to enlistment. Fun times, fun times.
My son was a Marine Infantryman. He was in a catastrophic V22 crash that killed the Marine sitting next to him and the crew chief of the aircraft. All 22 Marines were injured.
He reviewed this article and said, “I’m getting out.”
A Class A accident that kills Marines is not as bad as the situation this article describes.
What a travesty to our nation. Lloyd Austin is responsible and complicit. Son is currently a SEAL, third generation Navy. Will NOT encourage my grandchildren to go into ANY branch of the military period.
People don't believe me when I talk about this stuff. They blink, uncomprehending, when I tell them just how bonkers the gender gibberish demands have gotten. They see my receipts and still cannot quite adjust their brains to the reality that we now live in a gender-based theocracy. The creationists no longer have bibles, they have "genders."
If you want to understand WHY these "woke" pereversion pushers do what they do read the books of Dr. Iain Mcgilchrist. He gives the most lucid explaination for these poeple's behavour I have ever read. We are dealing with individuals who are effectively mentally ill. They exhibit many of the symptoms of borderline schizophrenics. It is nearly impossible to change their minds because their left brain no longer answers to the right brain. Not one in a hundred will change their mind. They can't. The only way to get rid of them is to remove them from their positions and incarcerate or kill them. That is the choice you have because they are going to kill you if given the opportunity. Look at any hard core Nazi or Communist and you will see the same mindset. The hand writing is on the wall or in the books. READ IT!

The American people did vote for this when they ejected Joe Biden president.
This insanity must stop.
