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.

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.

Enough for now. This one armed veteran has a business to run. Unlike Iran, the country that took my arm, Obama didn't pay me millions.

Trans people don't deserve nor need special treatment. Buck up & be who you are or wallow in the corner, your choice. War is rough on ALL!

Sure they can't pull a trigger. I'm leery as to where they might point the gun. They hate the flag, the country, and shit on

So with this theory, anyone that isn't 100% sure of their life and everything going on in it shouldn't be allowed to be in the military??
