Editor,
This ban is an unnecessary, cruel action that military experts have determined will only hurt morale and decrease effectiveness. Thousands of transgender men and women already serve honorably in our armed forces and there is no doubt that thousands more are willing to answer the call.

There was a time decades ago when the public was overwhelmingly moral and decent. Then came the obnoxious, revolting, arrogant Left, pushing race-warfare, class-warfare, homosexuality, anti-Americanism, socialism, and now the anti-science that men can be women and vice versa. This has nothing at all to do with a strong military and everything to do with evil. “There are only two kinds of people, decent and indecent.” – Elie Wiesel, Holocaust Survivor
When people are so sick that they don’t even know and accept their own sex, they aren’t fit for military service. It’s fundamental science and common sense.
Who are you? Where do you live? What is your education level? I want to know.
Stop looking for straw men to attack, Christine. Intelligent people discuss ideas. You obviously want none of that.
I do want to have intelligent discussions, but one always needs context. I want to understand where your ‘arrogant, Left, pushing race-warfare” comment is come from. Where I come from the KKK hold regular meetings. No one is stopping them. Where’s the warfare?
