Joining the Armed Forces to Defend What?

There is no reason to have women in the military at all. Except maybe cooks and janitors at stateside assignments. Certainly not in combat, definitely not on ships, most certainly not as pilots.

There is literally nothing a woman can do that a man with equal training cannot do better. Nothing

It destroying your fragile ego to have to face the fact that there are numerous women who have performed extremely well in combat....doesn’t change the facts.

But I’m sure the military will seriously consider the whining of a fifth columnist like yourself 😂

There is not one woman in history who has performed in combat better than a man could
 
The S-400 can't track the B-2. You need to stop swallowing Russia Stronk propaganda.

None of the rest of your post is rooted in reality. Corruption within the PLA has been one of its biggest problems in recent years, yet you completely ignore that, just like you ignore the fact that transgender people have zero overall impact on the readiness rating of the United States military capabilities.

You would know this if you knew anything of military affairs. But you don't, so all you can muster is rants about things you don't understand.

Really? If transgender’s has zero impact on the readiness of the military then why did the officers All oppose integrating them back before Obama force them to?

The ability of the S 400 to track stealth aircraft has been well reported on. It also has a long enough range to deny use of air space to air the air refuelers.

Is your grandfather the guy that assured Eisenhower that the U2 could not be shot down by any chance?

EMN's issue is that without exception all of these women are far more man than he is and he feels fragile and ashamed that he never had the balls to serve himself, so he tries to tear down people who actually do.

You know, lots of women have performed excellently in combat and slandering them isn't going to make you less feminine or cowardly.

Where is your source that all officers opposed integrating transgender people into the military? Do you have any idea how small the number of transgender people there are in the United States, much less the Army?

By the far the biggest complaint I heard was that the Army would have to pay for the cost of the transition surgery, which was proven to be miniscule.

So first you argue it has no impact, then admit it’s because the number of people is small. What are these miniscule numbers of people doing that is so special that only mentally ill crossdressers can do?

No, women have not performed excellently in combat. Nearly all cases of such either show they fall way behind men. If it’s not propaganda to start with

A statistically insignificant number of people will not impact the performance of the Armed Forces. This is obvious.

What does this even mean?

For decades the military banned “transgenders” as mentally unfit for military service. This was very sensible and uncontrovsial. Then overnight we had to pretend they were not mentally ill, which they clearly are, and recruit them into the military and pay for quack “treatments” like genital mutilation. Why? What do they offer that a regular straight male without mental illness cannot?

That first statement is not true. I personally know several people who decided not to reenlist because of the transsexual issue. Probably many many more than that. If the cultural issue forces out a bunch of people and competent officers are denied promotion because they said something “offensive” (like the marine colonel let go for saying “faggotry”) then they are having an outsized effect that wouldn’t be there if we just barred them.

And I’m sure someday when one of them snaps and goes on a murder rampage with military weapons everyone will deny their mental illness had nothing to do with it. Even the fact this population attempts suicide at 43% is in and of itself a major impact.

And for over a century there was no ban.

In was in keeping with our knowledge of the subject at the time. Now we know more.

Since you don't know anything about transgenderism, nor do you care to learn, there is no point in explaining this, but simply put there's no actual significant degradation of the armed forces as a result of trans people being in it.

This is the same argument that people used to protest the repeal of DADT. Then it was repealed and homosexuals were allowed to serve openly and...

...nothing changed. As the Ancient Greeks discovered millennia ago, there is no difference in the combat performance of homosexuals or heterosexuals.

What do they offer that a regular straight male without mental illness cannot?
Since when does allowing trans people to join prevent straight males from joining?
 
And for over a century there was no ban.

Yes because society made sure no one entered such a disordered identity. It wasn’t an issue

No, we don’t. The entire transgender cause is based on social gender theory, a non falsifiable theory of gender being socially constructed. And it’s total fraud.

if so few as one person is off of duty to recover from mutilation then the degradation has happened.

except firing of officers.

The ancient Greeks were not homosexual. They engaged in sex with other men has team building and dominance play. It was basically masturbation. The Greeks did not see sodomy as an act of Eros, nor was it considered marriage. The idea of a “homosexual” would’ve been foreign to Greeks. Having sex with men doesn’t make one homosexual.

wrong question, if it leads to some not joining then the small number of mentally ill so called “trans” people are already more liability then benefit.

And yet light years above you, armchair theocratic fascist.
 
It’s interesting the first place you go to try to disprove an obviously true statement is Soviet propaganda.

The Soviet military is one where women saw combat extensively during the Second World War

And therefore rather easily debunks your laughable claims

Yeah when they were losing they threw bodies wherever they could find them. After World War Two the Soviet Union got rid of women in combat roles very quickly, closed military academies to women and relegated them to support roles. Kind of makes me think they weren’t buying their own propaganda

There were trans people before 1960.

No, we don’t. The entire transgender cause is based on social gender theory, a non falsifiable theory of gender being socially constructed. And it’s total fraud.

Trans people exist. I'm sorry you have a hard time with reality.

Not a single military force in the entire world operates at 100% readiness 24/7. You are exposing your complete lack of knowledge of military affairs.

You are, of course, completely wrong. Homosexuality was well known to the Greeks. Views towards them varied considerably because Ancient Greece was by no means a unified nation, but the Greeks were well aware of them.

An entire battalion's worth was stood by Thebes and used to crush the Spartans at Leûktra, and when they perished to a man against Philip and the Makedonians he wept.

Plutarch's words say it all: "Perish any man who suspects that these men either did or suffered anything unseemly."

wrong question, if it leads to some not joining then the small number of mentally ill so called “trans” people are already more liability then benefit.

There is absolutely no proof whatsoever a significant amount of people refuse to join the Army because there are trans people.

there is no such thing as trans people. There is people suffering from gender dysphoria.
Trans people exist. I'm sorry you have a hard time with reality.
People with schizophrenia exist! Are you going to be recruiting them next?

OK let’s recruit paraplegics. After all 100% readiness is not necessary.

already gave one and of course you didn’t read it.

They were not homosexual. Some groups of them had sex with men or amongst each other. They were not however gay. It’s kind of hilarious that you are insisting we have to identify transsexuals as their preferred identity, and yet you are just assuming the sexual orientation of people absent any evidence. Let’s say this again, having sex with a man does not make you gay.

And I’m sure nobody is going to bother surveying it either.

No. What a silly comparison.

Can paraplegics ruck? Carry a rifle? Run? No? Then they won't be recruited.

Can trans people? Yes. We know because they have done so, for years.

No, you haven't.

I can't tell if you are just straight up in denial or just trolling.

The Sacred Band are explicitly referred to as lovers and being made up of couples. You are in fact just in straight up denial.
And I’m sure nobody is going to bother surveying it either.
And what can be submitted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Too many people like you, whose fragile egos were shattered by the fact that women did so well(and often with inferior weaponry) in combat.
 
Yes, there is.

No. What a silly comparison.

Can paraplegics ruck? Carry a rifle? Run? No? Then they won't be recruited.

Can trans people? Yes. We know because they have done so, for years.
they certainly can’t while transitioning and in any event they can’t do it as well as men.
No, you haven't.
yes I did. Go back up the thread.
I can't tell if you are just straight up in denial or just trolling.
it appears to be you who is in denial or having never actually read and comprehended the practice of sexual unions between members of the same sex in Greece. In the most common form it was pederasty, and usually between men who were married or would become married to women. Among lower classes it was accepted as a bonding measure. It was not a society of gays as we know the concept now.

once by Plutarch and given his writing style it is impossible to prove that without the original sources he cites, which we do not have.

And what can be submitted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Except when people like you are part of a political conspiracy to suppress evidence. In which case the lack of evidence is your fault and you can’t use it as an argument.

Or. Political leaders of the Soviet Union after nearly losing the country in a violent and deadly conflict decided to throw out ideas that didn’t work well.
 
they certainly can’t while transitioning

And? I couldn't fight while I was recovering from eye surgery.

and in any event they can’t do it as well as men.

Who can't? Where's your source?

yes I did. Go back up the thread.

No, you didn't. You cited one incident of a man using a slur and getting fired for it. That isn't a purge, nor is it new. If I went to my 1SG and called him a kike I'd get canned too.

That the Greeks viewed homosexuality as we do now was never my contention, nor is that the matter of dispute.

It was Polyaenus who described them as lovers.

The status of the Sacred Band as homosexual lovers is well attested to. You're just in denial at this point because history doesn't fit your narrative, and instead of accepting that like an adult and moving on you're stuck on denying without any actual counter-evidence.

Except when people like you are part of a political conspiracy to suppress evidence.
lol

Sure, that's why you can't find evidence to back it up! It's just a conspiracy, not that you're just making shit up.
