I like this reply. Did you post it somewhere he would see it? Is he on Steemit?
To me, this seems like obvious propaganda. I'm not Trump supporter, but this seems like a manufactured story to get more people to hate him. I served, not in SpecOps, yet I can't imagine this would have gone down well in a standard artillery unit, either.
Seriously, we had enough problems with guys who everyone considered a little effeminate. I can't imagine what kind of crap would have happened to a tranny.
Another thing nobody really talks about is sex. When I was deployed overseas in areas there were females, we had no end to the trouble caused by men going into the female barracks and vice versa. It was constant. Now, where would you put these tranny's and what's the rules about sex? It's not a non-issue. The UCMJ has laws about that sort of thing, and what do you call it when someone has sex with a tranny? Is it only sodomy when he's pre-op? What about a she who has a penis? Can she have sex with a man?
These things have real impact on mission readiness. Mission readiness = less casualties. It's that simple IMO.
Makes more sense than anything else... though I think President Trump did this to make the media dance like a puppet as usual.
TBH -- line units would be even worse, by my guess. Identification and exploitation of weaknesses/differences in others is the name of the game. I went through infantry basic and I know arty basic was probably similar. I knew guys who came from infantry and arty line units... the identification and exploitation process is an art form for those guys, especially since they have to mold privates fresh from basic to inculcate them into the unit culture.
Holy hell... I didn't even begin to consider that side of things.
