I served in Iraq in 2006. For the first five months I was on a 12 man firebase out in the middle of nowhere in the desert.

Guys would literally snap over a dear John letter. Their personal issues came out and they were instantly combat ineffective.
Now take someone confused about whether they are a man/woman. Take those psychological and emotional issues and put them in that environment

Take someone who is right off the bat not uniform or part of the same team. Give them special treatment because of their identity.

Take that person, put them in that stressful war environment and watch what happens. It's a fucking ticking time bomb.

You have to be incredibly tough mentally, physically and emotionally. War is not a fucking video game. It tests every ounce of your being.

You can't teach someone to be a fearless warrior in a fucking PowerPoint. You either have it or you don't. You can hack it or you can't.

We had guys who couldn't. When faced with combat situations they crumbled. They had mental and emotional issues. They were a liability.
-
To be successful at war, you have to become a warrior mentally, physically, and emotionally. You can't fake it and go through the motions.
-
In war if it comes down to kill or be killed, and you hesitate, you're dead. It's a simple as that. It's not a fucking video game.

War is no place for people who are mentally, emotionally, or physically confused or in turmoil. You have your shit together, or you don't.
-
And if you don't, you'll just get people needlessly killed. Political correctness has absolutely no place in the military.

Pretty sure they know they want to be the gender they transitioned to. Why are they confused?

Who says they're confused? Why does being a transgender make you confused? You choose/need to change and that's that....
-
And for the arguement about the "medical cost". Go look up the comparison of $ of meds for transgender soldiers and the $ of soldier with ED
-
The $ of mess for solider with ED is way higher than $ for Trans. This ideology you are promoting has no facts to back it up....
