Trump should have military at Canada’s border.

Trans are all about themselves and their feelings as well as relishing their perceived victimhood it me me me! that isnt the type of people the military wants. They want team members not self center people

The military has different physical standards for male and female.

Your number one concern as a member of the untied states armed forces is the safety of American lands and its citizens. If you go around telling people you are transgender, gay, straight…that in a sense becomes your number one concern. And people will see it! Keep it to yourself and you be fine. I think we got to the point with some transgender activist in the military is they became activist in the military. Instead of doing their job! Will anyone on cnn talk about that nope. Just poor they them cant express themselves at their job the way they want to.

Emily Shilling is a man not a woman deal with it anyone with gender dysphoria should not be in the US military if you don't like that then that sucks for you.

No transgenders in military!

Surgeries performed in military costs taxpayers $150,000 a surgery…Then 36 months of follow up treatments. It’s time it stopped

Here's a suggestion, why don't you Indians stop overpopulating your country, stop corruption and stop being just a military power and instead be an economic power????Do that and you never have to depend on the US dollar anymore.

Where is the military

No MAGA should ever be allowed in any military position, especially a pilot, as you need Critical Thinking Skills. It doesn’t matter if you have breasts or a penis, your chopper/ jet can take out someone as you will have passed the exact same evaluation tests as everyone else- if your good enough, your in.

This person talked about how much the military has done for her and her identity. She does not mention serving her country.

Just let them serve man like wtfffffff, Mr Donald Duck, you have no guts to operate your stomach in the military service and yet you damn not let certain groups to serve for the country ?!!!! You must be lied shamed

If you can't figure out your sex, you are not needed in the military.

Whole world laughing at the great USA. Get people in your military who clears your training regiment regardless of how they want to be identified. So stupid.

That officer should lose his commission. No more cross dressing perversion in the military.

Where is the military? It’s time to take care of business.

For goodness sake. President Trump is the Commander-in-Chief of America's military forces. Basically, he has given a direct order. Refusal to obey a direct order is a court martial offence. These transgender human beings are offended by this direct order.

Could Donald Trump be following in the failed foot steps of Bibi Nutanyahoo of Israel or Adolf Hitler wirh his immigration/ war policy ? \nNo body is sure but do not self-deport from the United States because of fear.\nNevertheless, it appears that President Donald Trump has to start a war to protect himself from serving jail time or paying a multi-million dollar fine for his crimes. Therefore, upon taking charge of the United States government, on January 20, 2025,, he will try to:\n1.Replace United States generals in the military that he can not totally trust due to their allegiance to the Constitution or other laws.\n2, Remove a significant number of undocumented migrants and try to secure the Mexican border against threats to his Administration.\n3. Order the United States military, in the Summer of 2025, to take control of four Mexican provinces next to the state of Texas: Nuevo Leon,Tamaulipas , Coahuila and Sonora.\n\n4. Order the United States military to attack Iran and China

Trump should fix the problems with the United States economy, such as inflation, tighter credit , homelessness, unemployment , military spending ,wars in West Asia and the repairs of bridges or roads without falsely scape goating undocumented \n immigrants . Undocumented immigrants or asylum seekers are paying billions of dollars each year in taxes. In spite of their undocumented or current status, these immigrants—and their family members—are adding value to the U.S. economy, not only as taxpayers, but as workers, consumers, and entrepreneurs as well. Furthermore, we should not falsely accuse aslylum seekers or undocumented immigrants for the illegal drug problem or increase of crime .This evil rhetoric or fairy tale narrative with the odor of mendacity is anti social , divisive and needs to stop .

Why do a piece like this when it is clearly obvious when you interview actual servicemembers past and present about the importance of military camaraderie and mental fitness. If somebody is confused about their sex or gender, that is a mental illness which excludes such people from serving in the United States military branches. CNN gets it wrong, on the wrong side of history even after such extreme ratings losses and audience. Kaitlin is not helping AT ALL.

Where's the military at?

It's like a breath of fresh air having Trump in office. We don't need Trans in military. 1st off anyone who chops off sexual organs is clearly not mentally well.

It's a matter of practicality. It takes a lot of hormones to overwrite your natural body chemistry. Trans people deployed to the frontlines would have difficulty getting those hormones reliably and would probably have a breakdown when their natural physiology begins to reassert itself. Diabetics aren't allowed to serve in the military. The logistics for supplying artificial hormones would probably be twice as difficult and expensive as supplying insulin.

Foreign invaders….our military should be stopping them.

The military is no place for confused people who aren't sure what organ system god gave them.

Where was the outrage when thousands were kicked out of the military over a medical treatment? I remember just crickets.

It’s perverted and disgusting. I hope you all get the help you need but you don’t belong in the military

Poland has allegedly shot illegals who were trying to invade Poland. I believe all sovereign nations right to protect their borders with lethal force if needed. I was watching the news of illegals on the U.S. southern border while standing in the Rio Grande river which separates the U. S. and Mexico shooting rifles at U.S. observation drones, while the 3 males of military age attempted to invade the U.S. I believe our drones should now have the ability to return fire if attacked. Congress needs to fund the wall now.

As an ex military man I would rather do forty days in military prison than take orders from deep fakes

Here is the problem. She was a man. She was not a woman. She performed like a man …not like a woman. She “transitioned” with the approval of the Navy and the their support, as well. Why in the hell would any military want to have to through all that with any individual when there are plenty of normal candidates available? She didn’t mention the cost of her transition and the ongoing cost. You could put disabled persons in the cockpit, pay for all kinds of retrofits of the equipment and all the ancillary care needed for that person and they may even be able to pull it off. The question is “why”??? What’s the point??

I think our whole military should be composed of trans

Get our military ?️ facts unless you come through the front door we don't want you here

There are millions of these people. If they can come to the biggest military in the planet and try to over run us, why don't they get together and fight for your own country. You have assets that you don't even understand. Fight for Your Land. Hell I'll fight with you....

the percentage of transgender people in the military is so low that any time spent discussing this topic is nothing but a distraction..

Schizophrenics that identify as normal should be allowed in the military... Let's see how that goes.

If you have watched for the past 4 years this is how they did it. They let all the thugs and military style men and the prisoners from other country's in . Not to many family's came usual singles in groups dragging children through the gap.few women they rated and tortured the girls and little boys. Now these people are coming in massive amounts. 1 million was on back log already approved just had to get an appointment date. It was cut off from these ppl and they are mad because they gave up or sold everything based on Joe Biden And Kamala lies and treason selling out our country to the UN. The UN gave these ppl thousands to come .single men were told they were going to be soldiers when they got here. But UN stop reloading their visa cards with so much money. It gives on and on. Trust they will continue to take over. American best wake up and stop letting the communist Marxist Democrat devide us. Jeffries said today they will take the fight to the street. AOCdid too last week in a post on X. Do you think any of those rich democrats going to help.DjT gave 24 million to help hurricane victims on the coast. Nancy P has 300million do you think she would give 25.million to Cali. Heck no. Her and Newsom ripped billions off. Only Jesus Christ ?.

Are Type 1 Juvenile people allowed to join the Military?

How about protect and serve Americans instead of you being mentally unstable to full fill your oath to the military ,,military does not need make believe dress up Barbie could defend us

Send military personnel to help with this

canadian military will take transgender military members. Our military pays for the surgery, gives free counselors. There are a lot of conservatives in the canadian military, including my husband, and he works with a lot of transgender people and no one cares. IF someone wants to transition no one cares, if someone wants to be they/them no one cares. They lives their lives and get the job done. Literally the worst thing that could happen if a person was cut off from hormones was they'd probaby act like PMS. PMS just means not taking peoples shit.

Wow hell fire what is this mad mad world coming too -- Emily to be fair the reason you are a decorated combat hero flying one of the most advanced fighter jets in the world is primarily because you are a man !! I do like Trans people but to be heading up the military as women is just crazy it really is ... And I'm not a prude I have served in the military and combat but I just can't and never will be able to accept this woke nonsense.... \nIt's like gay people being allowed to have children also madness ...

God created two genders, male and female, not transsexual. Any military that is filled with people perverse to the way God created them, is not a military blessed by God, and a military not blessed by God is a dangerously weak failure. This fallen world is our TEMPORARY HOME separated from God for a short time because of sin. Read the entire Holy Bible for yourself and the entire Gospel of Jesus Christ for yourself in the Holy Bible. Our eternal salvation is what matters. THE GOSPEL (THE GOOD NEWS) OF JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR --\n\n Jesus Christ came down here from heaven, God on earth, to be born one of us His own creation, and He lived on earth with us for over three decades, and He taught us about God and His eternal heavenly kingdom and repentance and how to live righteously and He lived a perfect sinless life. Then He gave His sinless life to ALL people from ALL nations to pay for our sins for us, by dying on the cross and resurrecting from the dead three days later, to take the punishment for our sins for us so that justice was served, to defeat eternal death for us to reconcile us sinners with God to give us eternal life with Him, and after He resurrected from the dead to defeat death for us, He lived on earth for forty more days, speaking to many people, then He ascended back up into heaven, and He is coming back again at the end of this world to set up His eternal heavenly kingdom, for all people who believe this and repent of their sins and accept Jesus as their Savior, to live in for the rest of eternity, forgiven of their sins and reconciled with God.

BRING IN OUR ACTIVE MILITARY ?.

While I want full immigration enforcement on all illegal immigrants, I also want to mention that immigrants who honorably served in the US military should be treated as if they were legally born on US soil. So I hope they don't mix those 2 together because there's a big big difference between those 2.

We have been wasting too much time on this idiocy. We don't care about your sexuality, your a man and likely up to the physicality of service, you meet them in a more authentic way that is woke talk and we don't want woke in the military. We need tough people who are not bogged down by ideologies and are only ready to fight for their country. Your cause is not the cause the American people want in the military. Stop virtue signalling.

In Spain a lot of military personal changed gender when they finally allow it without needing any medical operation.

It's an invasion more destructive than any military from China or Russia.

this is dangerously insane and frightening. The Americans need to caal in the military the way Piland has! We can't have this invasion of madness.\nWHERE IS THE MILITARY?? \nThis is terrifying! God please help the Americans keep these people out of the USA and therefore Canada God please help us!

Recruit military to change sex?
