Should transgender individuals be allowed to serve in the military?.

This is wild. I think they should be allowed to serve.
The only room I give Trump on this is if the soldier is on active duty and they decide to change sexes and want the military to foot the sex change bill. They can go on unpaid leave or something and then have to reenlist and qualify for duty as their new sex. But if they arent doing combat then I think they should be allowed back in without a bunch of hassle, I guess.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But women are allowed in combat arms now right?!?!
I keep seeing in here they aren't. I thought that law was changed a few years ago?

And that people STILL support the administration amidst everything that has transpired since November.
Are there any NTers that still ride for Trump?

have you ever served? you clearly have no clue what you are talking about. Women are allowed to serve in combat roles and the military is all about being ready to deploy for COMBAT at the end of the day you need to be ready for combat.
Ima a vet and i dont care if they serve just like gays in the military couldnt express that they were gay but they still served.
The only problem i have with it is if they are allowed there shouldnt be any accommodations to the current regulations or policies just for them. If they want to identify as a girl than they need to follow all the current regulations that are out there for females and vice versa.

They are not allowed to serve in combat roles. Never changed. Would have been a huge headline, would've been impossible to miss.
Edit: I stand corrected. The ban was lifted in 2013 apparently. However. The process is ongoing to open up all combat roles for women.

Yes I've already corrected myself. Women are now allowed in combat roles, however the process is ongoing to actually open up those roles and get women into them.
Not sure what relevance of having served or not has however. I would NEVER serve our military as it currently operates. EVER.

Yeah but it's still lip service. Only a handful of women are actually in those roles at the moment. They're beginning to graduate. How many are actually out there on the field?

Millions of Americans already need those drugs without ever having seen combat. I'm pretty sure those with PTSD may also have some issues performing.
No issue with that per se. Though I do believe we could've avoided a lot of these costs had we never engaged in unnecessary conflict.

dude you have no idea what it takes to get thru a combat basic training course its hard enough for guys let alone females. Also do you know alot of women who are willing want to join the military let alone a combat job that type of women is a rare breed. Until you have served you will never understand how the military truly operates inside all you see is the dumb stuff on the news happening which scares people away from the military.
There are already some females in the 75th Ranger Regiment.

Not being funny, but are you for or against Trans people in the military?

I already commented on the physical aspect. Please read.
Miss me with your sanctimonious high horse BS. I don't need to serve to understand that women are willing to serve or the military's true inner workings.
There's no hidden modus operandi that I'm missing. We go to war for false premises, people enlist believing they're joining a noble cause, some know better and join anyways for a check.
You're not special b.

i already stated i dont care if they serve.
who said we were special B? I dont care if people respect me or not for serving in the military. You got it but you didnt even know women could serve in combat arms damn near 4 years ago but you know the military inner workings FOH.

Four years ago? Now you're just misrepping facts. It wasn't until 2016 that women actually started filling those roles. The ban was lifted in 2013. The process is still ongoing.
For someone who seems to know better because they served I like how you conveniently gloss over (or blatantly misrepresent) that factoid.

Y'all can both be right...as a former veteran attached to an infantry unit(no women), I can say
John Wick
is dead on in saying there's certain things u can't get fully without experiencing them...
And ur right
HEATHEN
, it is only a job. You don't NEED to know the inner workings to give an opinion.
But just remember an opinion is exactly that...

There seems to a be a disconnect here. I don't think you guys are talking about the same thing when you say "inner workings."

Yes 4 years ago.
dude this my last post. I dont have nothing against trans serving, and not bout to debate with someone who doesnt support the military let alone served
With the ban being lifted in 2013 there are a very few women who serve active duty military they barely hitting %20 in any branch check these statistics from 2016
http://www.statisticbrain.com/women-in-the-military-statistics/
with that being said now out of the %20 who serve how many of those want to do a combat job? maybe half %10
Now with that being said how many can actually get thru the training required once they sign up for the combat job? maybe %5
now look at this article of the 2 women who graduated Ranger school in 2015 the first ones throws your whole 2016 logic out the window.

2 graduated in 2015. 2? That's your rebuttal?
Still on the "you didn't serve and don't support" high horse. You should be ******* thankful there's people who are critical of our military and don't support it as it currently operates.
Unless you like seeing our forces and resources being abused and misused.
