#1 The group would also develop uniform guidelines.
Somebody is going to decide the two gender clothing system is discriminatory because it isolates and diminishes a soldier's self-esteem rather than supporting the uniqueness of spirit.

#5 No one picked up on the collapse of the Iraq army after appointing a lot of politically connected officers over competency and merit, did they?

NB - Klinger was a Hollyweird creation. However, most of these people understanding of what the military really is may unfortunately be based solely upon Hollyweird, as with so many other of their projected social bigotries stereotypes they impose on people.

#6 Open enrollment period for gender is the solution. Once a year, you can switch genders.

Anything else might be confusing.

#8  That will win a lot of wars.

There's only one war that matters.

#10 "People, Operation Trinidad is a go. We're going to get a woman through Ranger school even if we have to cut her wang off and pump her full of hormones."

#12 Im sorry, but this is simply mental illness defined by the medical establishment into "normal". Its not. Your body says XX or XY. You are therefore Female or Male. If you are one thing and think you are another then that is a mental aberration, not a normal situation. Extreme therapy may be required, as some want to mutilate their body hormonally and surgicallyt, but whatever the outcome, you cannot treat the final condition as "normal" - because it cannot be sustained without continuous treatment. Same as Cancer or HIV or Organ Transplants - if the treatments are required, you still have the disorder, and the need for continuous treatments means you are not eligible for service.

This is imply using the military as a lab for social experiments. What happens to Jim who used to be Jenny, when they get stuck at the far end of a supply chain and dont get their testosterone? Same as a male who isnt making his own testosterone and requires hormone treatments - lose muscle mass, lose strenght, lose ability to perform the military duties. Therefore INELIGIBLE TO SERVE.

Sorry folks there are limits, this is not Kindergarten. Doesn't anyone at the Pentagon have the guts to speak up?

#13 OS the only part you got wrong is that sadly this IS Kindergarden.

#14 I can't wait to see how the USDOD will react when the first US Servicemember is recruited whom had formally gotten married in group, i.e. was married simultan to several Husbands or Wives - Natural or Trans-gender, Straight-vs-Homo-vs-Mixed - at one time.

We're all "Its" now.

#15 The sergeant at daybreak, stentorious:
"Each day in my Corps's more uxorious!
We'll miss our carousing
But sharing base housing
With all of my spouses is glorious."
