      After stepping on each other's nuts living in the same can for five months, guys were at each other's throats. The stress made it worse.

      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.

          When you're trans and done with your transition, there's a very good chance you DO have your shit together.

          In fact, in most cases these days, if you want sex reassignment surgery, you have to have your shit together BEFORE the operation.

          You assume trans people are mentally, emotionally, or physically confused or in turmoil. Already more than 4,000 trans people have served.

          They have served in combat as well as elsewhere, and they have done very well. Countless non trans vets will attest to that.

          The emotional disturbance isn't in THEM, it's in YOU. If you can't handle people being different from you, you have no business in combat.

          Agree. I guess the issue here is whether or not it's possible to "have your shit together" as a transsexual. It does seem to be possible.
