Look at your post. Your essay. You actually compared me to a klan member. You’re like the loons who call people literally Hitler. What triggered it? Me mentioning a stalker from Maine. Think about it. You reacted exactly how a stalker would. It’s a good thing I try to maintain some anonymity as you can’t be trusted. You have a mental health issue you need to work on.
Note the use of the conditional: could. Women also have hormonal “issues.” They have periods which can render them not combat ready. But that is ok as the military is huge. There are many jobs that don’t require being combat ready. Look at individual troops and decide if they can do their jobs before letting them go for something that may or may not be relevant.
And there are soldiers with PTSD for example. Look at the suicide rates for the military. You have soldiers who are on psych meds.

Meanwhile, in Lewiston, it has just been confirmed that our “local” newspaper, The Sun Journal, will no longer report on crime in the city that doesn’t involve a fatality. They stopped printing the arrest logs entirely. Lewiston police no longer make social media posts highlighting our many shootings and operate on encrypted radio that cannot be picked up by civilian scanners.
The Sun Journal was purchased a little over a year ago by the Soros-backed “National Trust for Local News”, which is an Orwellian doublespeak name for a sinister organization if there’s ever been one. We have only one of our long-time local writers still employed, and boy, his hands are tied with what he can write about.
Like @zecarlo, they believe that they can manipulate people’s perceptions of reality in defiance of the reality that is all around us. They truly seem to believe in their powers to shape perceptions. For some, it still works, but more are awakening by the day.
A friend of mine now requests the information from the county jail nightly to post for the public. That’s just the arrests, not the many crimes happening that don’t get anyone arrested anymore, or our many shootings where arrests are rarely made.
Purging the military of this rotten ideology is a no-brainer, as is chasing it out of every aspect of public life. The Trump administration continues to exceed my expectations with the actions it has taken.

What would you know? You never served. You probably were too busy attending socialist meetings.
Congratulations on being the first T-Nation user I put on ignore. Enjoy shouting into the void.

I always knew you were a snowflake.
They are natural, accounted for, and for the most part predictable. It can be managed with over-the-counter medication. Gender affirming hormone therapy and surgeries are not and require longer recovery time.
" The concern isn’t about whether someone could do their job but whether they can maintain operational readiness in a role that demands unpredictable, high-pressure, and high-stress capabilities. The military’s primary concern is to ensure that all service members are fit for duty at all times, and with the possibility of inconsistent medical needs during a transition, it’s a valid concern to assess whether these needs would interfere with critical, time-sensitive tasks in a way that could compromise the mission"
Not always they may be “medically unfit for service”.
But it depends on the condition. Bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and others are not allowed even on medication.
Same with diabetes requiring insulin, severe asthma, epilepsy, certain autoimmune disorders etc.
I get it. What I’m saying is, this is like reversed DEI. Instead of giving people jobs without merit because of some box they tick, you are disqualifying people, regardless of merit, because of a box they tick. Treat people as individuals then make a decision. If there was a great army surgeon who happened to be trans, should they be given the boot if it doesn’t affect their ability to save lives? We did invest time and money in these people so in cases where we will get a positive return on it, maybe they should stay.
And though you didn’t bring it up, which reflects well on you, for those who will, this isn’t about me supporting trans ideology. That is, ideas like gender is fluid or men can have babies. These people exist and are human beings. Dehumanizing them is not what a civilized society should do. Maybe my Christian upbringing is showing. I don’t know. But does the concept of meritocracy not apply to everyone? I don’t believe in a nation that has a tiered concept of citizenship and rights.
That is not the case though. From what I have read the administration’s directive states, transgender service members must “adhere to facilities and grooming standards based on their biological sex unless they have fully transitioned.”
A man can identify as a woman but has to follow male grooming standards and use male facilities.
That is why the article mentions “only 1,892 active-duty troops received gender-affirming care”. Only they are being affected. There are many more who identify with a different sex or something else entirely but, they follow the proper standards.

They don’t know how many there are. And I see this as the slippery slope to banning them altogether. Telling someone that they need to identify as their birth sex may not mean anything to you or me, but it does make them feel marginalized and dehumanized. And maybe that’s the goal.
As could making men follow the male grooming standards of the military. If that is the case, perhaps they are not cut out for the military. The military has strict standards that everyone, regardless of gender identity, must follow, whether it’s grooming, appearance, or behavior. The military’s priority is not personal identity issues.
I just do not see an issue with “The Executive Order also prohibits males from using or sharing sleeping, changing, or bathing in facilities designated for females.”
Especially when as I said identifying does not mean they have undergone any type of treatment.
Maine Democrats have just introduced one of the most anti free speech bills I have ever seen.
They want to be able to sue anyone in civil court for emotional harm, which is their pretense for censuring Laurel Libby in The Maine House. The way it reads now is open to very broad interpretation, selective targeting and is obviously meant to shut people up about their plans to trans as many children as possible.
We are living through history here in The People’s Republic of Maine, where the Socialists have taken their masks off and are not even pretending to be moderate Democrats.
If voter ID passes in November, which I think it will, it will be the last election they will be able to openly rig by ushering ineligible voters to our polls to vote in Maine elections.

We’ll see where it goes.
This dude has a Maine obsession.
What else would he do? It’s always about extremes with him.
It sure seems like all of the people who told us Joe Biden was sharp as a tack REALLY want their forever war, but are happy with WW3 as a consolation prize.
There’s no way Ukraine is retaking that ground without NATO help. They need to rout or encircle the Russian defensive lines, which needs modern mechanized maneuver warfare, which needs air superiority, which needs NATO direct participation in Ukraine. It’s that or a LOT more dead people. Retaking all of the land means sending the loud and clear message that they can keep going into Russia. And they might.
Either way, Putin is on what’s called Death Ground in a scenario where all losses are retaken. His grasp on power would be diminished, and so would his reputation as a Russian leader able to protect and preserve Russia. I don’t know much about Russian internal affairs, but that’s how powerful men can be brought down from within, likely resulting in death for Putin.
Trump’s plan would have a MASSIVE defensive bonus to Ukraine. It would put American citizens doing business in Ukraine directly in Putin’s path, if a future invasion is contemplated. The dying stops. WW3 doesn’t become more likely, nor do other invasions.
Putin might keep his grip on power, but that’s not our problem, or anyone except the people he rules over as long as no more invasions get launched. They couldn’t invade the easiest target in Europe, so I’d say the Europeans are pretty safe.
As a reminder to all, there’s nothing wrong with sharing content, but the culture of the forums is to share our own thoughts. Take a few to explain your own thoughts on what you are sharing.
Here’s a good explanation of the political reality in America right now. James Carville’s been a greasy guy for a long time, but he’s often astute when it comes to garnering political power in the most dishonest ways imaginable. Dems should start playing dead, but the #resistance must live on.
All of the issues Democrats are howling at the moon about are increasingly popular in America. Trump is, if these polls are to be believed, literally executing the will of the people, who elected him to do what he’s doing, as he informed us he intended to. He’s got YOOGE numbers on the border, peace in Ukraine, two genders, DOGE, negotiating with Russia, with 58 percent already believing he’s doing better than Biden.
All while the increasingly few cult members howl at the moon about what he’s doing and how he’s doing it, as they have for the last decade. They may have been wrong about everything they’ve said, but they believe it was for the right reasons, so they keep doing it.
