agreed.

and look at it like this: a captured US soldier being beheaded by islamists is a PR disaster. but imagine the even bigger PR disaster of a US soldier being held as a sex slave by islamists....


I also kinda agree with the argument trump alluded to in his tweet: soliders must be determined and quick decision makers. someone not even being able to make up his mind about his own gender raises a big red flag in this sense.

so no women in the military then either? i mean, just to avoid a "PR disaster"?



so this is what you think "transgender" means?

Would you rather we define it as a mental illness that causes 41% of people suffering from it to attempt suicide?

*causes

You don't usually slip up like that, tsk tsk

women being raped by the enemy doesnt emasculate the men from the same army and thus doesnt hurt their image across the globe. male soldiers being treated like women does.




not always, but in many cases.

btw: does anyone get the difference between intergender and amalgagender?

You should read reports on the inside of isis camps with regards to how they treat captured men, rape isn't exactly unheard-of.

Hell, even the guy who got caught in Benghazi got raped in the street if the reports are accurate

If they're used to raping goats and little boys, raping a he-she's is positively straight by comparison.
Still that's really, really, really not a real concern for the US military. The only military in the world that really cares about policies of their soldiers being captured is the insane hannibal directive.
I think the US military cares a lot more about the 41% suicide rate and the 111-135 day of leave/disability and 24 months of counselling that tie up inordinate resources and force PC culture onto troops.

"we"? do you also define transgender as someone who can't "make up their mind about their gender"? to each their own, i don't care what kind of definition you choose to justify your inevitable "this is fine" conclusion. i just find it interesting how deliberately ignorant some people choose to be in order to make their "excuse" - especially considering the obvious political calculation behind this, the timing of these tweets, the negligible scope and urgency of this issue itself...



this. also, how insecure do you have to be if some terrorist scum raping a transgender person from your country "emasculates" you? holy shit...

Sloppy again. That stat you keep putting out isn't accurate in this context. It found strong correlations to homelessness, low household income generally, hiv positivity, and refusal of doctors treating them.

None of which are really appliance in this context.

That's not even getting into the fact that the stat was made up of lifelong reports of attempts by adults, meaning the data is outdated in the context of modern young adults

So 2,500 people whose total cost is essentially a rounding error is a financial problem?

Yeah, Trump didn't talk to any fucking generals about this, he is using it to bargain repeal of Obamacare with the Freedom Caucus.
