The other day my wife working as a civilian contractor had gone to VI Office on post for a visit with employees with her boss when one of the employees showed them a DA photo of a soldier who is transitioning from male to female. Soldier was wearing make-up but was still in the male uniform. His name had been legally changed and his re-assignment was not complete should she have worn the female uniform?

It's happening whether one likes it or not and it won't stop there.

The National Anthem will soon officially be replaced with "I've Got to Be Me." at a date and time to be determined.

MAJ Robert (Bob) Petrarca, sir, that gives a whole new meaning to "dating oneself", doesn't it?

We used to be a force to be reckoned with. Now we don't even know the sex of the person serving beside us. To answer your question, hell no. He should be out-processed for wasting valuable time and energy of training to fight and defend. Who is paying for the change, Tricare, ACA? Why should my tax dollars be used for this if this is the case? Is this person making the change on government time or personal time? It better not be government time. There is enough waste and abuse of tax dollars the way it is. Now back to this transgender crap. Many will argue that it shouldn't matter, I say it does. Put a person who used to be a male in a shower full of women or a person who used to be a woman in a shower full of men, and let those instincts they were born with kick in. That could be the crime of voyeurism or perversion if you think about it. You can have all the plastic surgery and hormone treatments you want. You are still whatever God intended you to be. If we are so big on accepting transgender personnel, then why don't we save the military and the taxpayers a whole bunch of money and just make the military one big commune where there are no separate restrooms or bunk areas? God help us. We are a sick society.

I can't even say agree to disagree, I just flat out disagree & refuse to think that your stance on this issue is in any way beneficial. It doesn't matter who is next to you in battle as long as they have your back. Wake up, it's the 21st century. You say their instincts that they were born in will kick in, have you ever thought about WHY these people are transgender? It's because their instincts didn't match the "tools" they were born with.

Typical standard liberal response to an opinion by referencing my "insecurities and intentions." You know nothing about me yet you attack me. You have no idea if I have a friend who decided to take their own life over the confusion of what gender they thought they should be, joining the ranks of the average 50% of transgenders that do commit suicide. Just maybe, possibly Before you and others like you openly attack somebody you best have your ducks in a row. Watching someone commit gender suicide is painful. I can express my opinion any time just as you can, but i don't go around attacking you because of your belief system. If you want to be LGBT go for it. Just don't force me to agree with it.

There's a plethora of these topics already. I'd merge but I'm on mobile. this 'problem' is easily solved by true equality and uniformity, in pt standards, in performance, uniform and grooming standards.
