Quote
The Pentagon said Thursday it was ending the ban on transgender people being able to serve openly in the U.S. military.

The announcement -- which removes one of the last barriers to military service by any individual -- was made by Defense Secretary Ash Carter, who had been studying the issue for almost a year. The decision comes as the military has witnessed major changes in the role of women and the inclusion of gays, lesbians and bisexual service members in recent years.

It's ALL OVER, lads.

Despite having 5.5k posts, I don't see Mordo post on here enough for me to agree or disagree with your statement. My only response to you is:

I'd rather have some dip shit come in here and incite a flame war than see literally seven responses that are just variations of "okay". Seriously, that's just boring.

Good, but I'm wondering how it'll be covered by Tricare and to what extent they'll be allowed to transition. Berthing is going to be another issue.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
Okay but when are sodomy and crossdressing going to be dropped from the UCMJ?

On a serious note though, this is good. There's gonna be logistical and insurance stuff to work out like Turkey said, but transgenderism shouldn't be a barrier preventing you from serving your country.

And on a less serious note that actually brings up a serious concern with dark humor, my brother and I were discussing this the other day.

This doesn't cause ANY problems with unit cohesion, I'm sure. But god forbid we let women serve in combat roles.

Co-ed combat units are simply less effective. The IDF proved it. Get bent out of shape elsewhere.

Less effective =/= not effective at all

Our country would be "more effective" if we executed all the homeless people on welfare. Doesn't make it right.

You have to have a permanent residence to get welfare.

You understand the sentiment of my comment. Efficacy isn't morality. We could kill all the jobless people who use state benefits and our country would be better off, but it's still evil as hell.

The military is an inherently discriminatory environment and needs to be to operate at peak in mission critical areas.

Except they are far more important.

If black people fucked up unit cohesion then get fucked dindus. Couldn't care less about bullshit moral values.
This opinion is evil.

If men are allowed to do something, women should be allowed to do it. Otherwise, that's a sexist miscarriage of justice.

If whites are allowed to do something, blacks should be allowed to do it. Otherwise, that's a racist miscarriage of justice.

Oh wait
