The man with one eye telling you someone else isn’t fit to serve?

This is Bidens fault. Giving these people false hopes while breaking our laws. Yes, we are all immigrants but my ancestors went through rigorous screening. Mental and Physical health\n exams, documentation, literacy was required, no beggars. Everyone had to prove that they had a place to go and job skills. Better yet only a certain percentage of nationalities from every country was allowed. Country quotas were regulated. Meaning a variety of immigrants were coming here from around the world. The melting pot....NOT JUST LOW FUNCTIONING, LOW EDUCATED BROWN PEOPLE ..like the Democrats insist on today? And, drug trafficking, sex trafficking of children, weapons smuggling would have been grounds for life in prison or even execution. They still are everywhere else in the world.

Trump is only ever talking to a fraction of the US population. He doesn't care about anyone who didn't vote for him. He doesn't care about anyone outside of the US borders. All he cares about is himself.\nEverything he says has to be heard or read in that context. He's only ever talking to his loyals, to encourage them to continue being loyal and throwing more money at him.\nNothing else exists in his mind.\nThis explains his pronouncements and executive orders on every subject. It even explains all his lies.

Sorry, this is a major fail CNN. Integrity of service does not seem to matter to these misfits. Go bring your transgender somewhere else, not in our US military please. FAR TOO MUCH CONTROVERSY AND AN ATTACK ON ESPIRIT DE CORPS

We need real men and women serving this country, not people about their gender and feelings. Take your non sense somewhere else, Kaitlyn Jenner’s attention seeking is waiting for friends

I lost my best friend. Not the only one. Sad AF. Whoever is spreading the lies that trans people are raping and attacking people, is just outright evil. And ya frankly, peoples business is their business. If doesn’t affect you, if you don’t have firsthand experience being raped and attacked, stop having an opinion. You are not ENTITLED to ignorant opinions. You, and everyone else, are entitled to human rights. Stop inciting violence on each other every time trump makes shit up to trickyou in to taking your money.

Anyone else think that looks stupid

This is not your business to complain\nAre you worried about economic issues about the restaurants closing doors well let them close\nBusiness that employed ilegal immigrants must shut down period out of business do something else

When your upside down up is not up. Do as you will but dont expect everyone else to even acknowledge let alone endorse or pay for you.

Hey ice there at the walmarts with stolen spark accounts and they do rideshare at the airports. If i come up with anything else ill report it.

Tell me where else in the world this is happening

If she served her country and did the job well then I respect her for her service just like everyone else. Everyone is an individual and not a group idenity. Isn't that what we accuse Democrats of doing? We want a merit based America, and it looks like she has the merit.

Just LEAVE…. OR stop pretending to be a woman! Fairly simple. He foisting something else.

Go ram your government you’re too scared and too sorry do what we did stay in your own country. Do some about them people where you live at if y’all can ram the border, y’all can get them together in your country. I don’t understand what’s the problem we got killed and everything else but we stood fast try it and see what happened. Maybe you can change some stuff in Mexico.

water canons with red dye that can not be washed off would be the first solution, if all else fails contact Poland for directions how to stop the inflow.

Q\nDNA basics \nXX chromosome\nXY chromosome\nMale and female \nEverything else is pretend and biological mutilation. Your DNA basis has NOT changed. You DID NOT transition to anything other than what you were. \n?\nDO NOT BE DECEIVED. NARRATIVES ARE CREATED TO KEEP YOUR ILLUSION GOING...until you believe the LIES.\nI highly suggest staying grounded in solid truths. \n❤\nQ

The military is not the place for social experiments, playing dress-up or confused mindsets. It's for preparing for and executing war. Everything else is a distraction. That's it. The 95% of the military that understand this is so thankful for SECDEF Hegseth today. The other 5% don't matter.

The transgender 'problem' is a classic tale of how Murdoch's Fakes News promotes and amplifies a narrative that soon finds its way into Republican politics. (Antifa, Hunter Biden crime family, take your pick...) American voters must be made to worry about something else than cost of living now when they have voted Donald Trump back into office.

I cannot comprehend how this is even an issue. This woman met all requirements and it sounds like she surpassed those requirements. What the hell else matters?? How is her gender identity or sexual orientation relevant? Unreal. This woman has repeatedly put her life on the line for people who now want to ban her from service. That is shameful.

The irony of someone with 50% vision calling someone else unfit to serve

Someone who is willing to serve in the United States military will always have my support. I don't care if you are a male, female, transgender, or want to be called a tree. If you are willing to literally die for our country, who am I or anyone else to stop you?

Recruitment is not down because transgender people/DEI is not allowed. It is down because the opposite is happening. DEI/Alphabet people are being shoed into places where they do not belong over more qualified other people. This process of putting less qualified people into positions endangers everyone else. Just like female lesbian firefighters in LA who are not strong enough to carry a person to safety think this is the fault of the victims they might encounter and not be able to save. This lowers morale and affects recruitment. If a transistor can meet the current requirements, they should be allowed to finish their time, but nobody else gets a free pass.

In the war zone, the transgenders are not going to win for sure. So, to all the transgenders, I suggest that you are staying home or doing something else to enjoy your life style.

There is always an exception to the rule and this lady might be it but still can’t have it in combat situation but I think she could fly combat missions she’s by herself I wouldn’t have a problem with it but then everyone else wants to join can’t have that test pilot sounds like a good role

They do not belong in the military. Hopefully the Trump Administration can undo the terrible destruction the Biden admin. Has done to the military. They have destroyed everything else. Get these people the help they need .

if they pass a medical evaluation I don’t see a problem with them serving .I really couldn’t care less about such a small minority. They are serving as everyone else is.

Attacks on trans people shows the attacker's sickness in focusing on other people's crotches more than anything else. Why are conservatives so obsessed with other people's genitals and sex lives???

It sounds to me he’s still in service. Where’s the problem here? Is this an assumption that he will no longer be able to serve? \n\nThe military counts are down because the prev administration wrongfully terminated these soldiers for refusing to take “the”vaccines. Citizens are not motivated to sign up because of all the crazy woke policies the military were enforcing. And many men and women with their beliefs are scrutinized, ignored and are forced to accommodate the entitlement granted to these group of people while everyone else’s are disregarded.

As a retired Marine, we do not need transgender's in the military. He is a NOT a she, regardless of what it says. Don't ask, Don't tell was bad enough, but it worked because this type of immoral behavior wasn't blatant as it is now in our military. There are 2 sexes or genders just as GOD made them. They join the military thinking they will get free surgery. If you believe you re something different, it is perversion and nothing else. PRAISE and GLORIFY GOD in ALL YOU DO, that behavior does NOT PRAISE OR GLORIFY GOD!

YOU FREAKS DON'T BELONG IN THE MILITARY!!!!! LET ALONE ANYWHERE ELSE IN SOCIETY

Omg . Why would they want to serve our country.. We are an embarrassment right now. And it's between her and God how she lives here life . God bless her and everyone else who risked their lives.

Ok let’s simplify this,,do we want to be known as the country with a trans army vs everyone else’s straight army? I don’t think so

There is no such thing as transgender. There is something else, maybe antigender. Or Altergender. YOU CANT BECOME A WOMAN IF YOUR A MAN, its impossible.

I suppose it can find something else to do. ?

dont need her/him in battle. we need men nothing else fighting for the country

NO SUCH TRANSGENDER LIFE MEKE MAN AND WOMEN TWO KIND OF HUMAN BEING IF ANY MAN OR WOMEN NOT HAPPY WHAT THEY ARE WHY DO YOU WANTS TO BE MAN OR WOMEN ? BECAUSE WHY DON'T YOU TO BE SOMETHING ELSE BESIDE YOU WANTS TO BE MAN OR WOMEN INSTEAD YOU CAN BE CAR OR MOBILE OR COMPUTER BECAUSE BEN MAN OR WOMEN IT IT ALREADY DONE BY NATURE

To set you a-holes on the left about the bone spurs deferment of Trump. He had 4 deferments because he was enrolled in school. Biden got 5 of those. Trump's bone spur deferment was a temporary deferment. When it ran out, he was put back onto the draft rolls in 1972. When the lottery was held his birthdate was the 356th drawn. Just like everyone else whose birthdate was the same as Trump's, their lottery number was 356. The cutoff that year was 50. You who know anything about the draft lottery know there was no way he would have been drafted. But hey. Why let the facts get in the way. Right?

How else can they get taxpayer funded transition surgery and therapy? That’s what the military is for, right? Not a projection of strength and preparedness to defend the country.

Who else immediately thought of Quagmire's father while interviewing this Navy pilot who was a transgender woman a man or whatever the hell it is

Was all 20 years of “her” service as a transgender, if not, then her case has no ground to stand on, because its even worse for the soldiers around “her” to have to deal with that shit. No place for transgenders in the military, cause now they’re asking to be included, next they’ll be crying about their own toilettes and barracks and everything else. All soldiers left their life behind to be part of the military, and they wanna allow this. Dont care how good they are suppose to be, they are a distraction, and the military is the last place you want people distracted. They dont have so many transgender troops that it will take decades to fill their place, STOP WITH THE BS. 1 person being successful, mainly because of what they did before the transition, does not make “her” proof that its not a problem. Thats like in the middle of corona and i stand there and say “corona isnt a problem look at me, im healthy” while other people are dying. 1 person can equal proof or can equal an anomaly. Espically since most of “her” success came before the mental illness.

Toronto and Vancouver residents are the sole reason that our country is in the mess it's in because you people ALWAYS vote Liberal. Enjoy the mess that you helped create by voting for the party that serves the CCP, the WEF, Ukraine, and everyone else that isn't a Canadian.

There are a lot of decent countries that speak the same language and have very similar cultures between Venezuela and the US. It would make starting your life over so much easier so that really begs the question why are they making that dangerous journey to the US? Seems really odd to me. Almost like there's something else going on.

As a father it is my job to feed and house my family, I was able to do this but there were a lot of times that I just did it and I had nothing else to give. If I was to feed all of the other kids in our neighborhood than my kids would go without eating. I am their father, my kids will be fed by me before your kids will be fed by me that is called responsibility. Why can't our government be this responsible?

Time for our military to stop the invasion ? the trash mainstream media like CNN likes to call it something else ??

Nope. Turn around don't drown. Seriously? Why do they think this behavior is OK for most Americans. Find somewhere else. There's Canada and Europe. Find help there. Our shelters and our patients is full and worn thin. You let all the bad eggs in Mexico. You keep these people ?

I have had 2 children in Canada, both being a cesarean birth, one head injury where I was in a coma for 3 months, total stay in hospital, 6 months, and had cancer treatment in hospital lasting 2 years, all while being a single father, raising my 2 girls, and I only paid my $58.00 healthcare premium paid 4 times a year, and nothing else. These hospital stays would have bankrupted me, 4 times over, if it happened in America. Until you start looking after ALL your people, you're 3rd world. Fact. Boot trump out, and put a real leader in charge, Kamala Harris. Become 1st world.

Imagine going to a foreign country and feeling emboldened to try and break across the border!! These criminals need to go back where they came from, because nobody else is going to want them

Can’t wait for the shops to be empty of fruit and vegetables and farmers to go broke because there’s no labour for picking I vote all the trump monkeys go pick fruit and veg for 40% below minimum wage, I love dumb Americans blaming everyone else for the toilet there country has become. Enjoy the empty shelves fools ?????

Nope! Mexico let them in, Mexico can keep them. They can have all the illegals back. Legals are always welcome. All these people from everywhere else are just making it harder for Mexicans to get in. Mexico should build a wall.

Our grandparents immigrated to the u.s. now there is no more land or resources available. No one else should get in, only europeans, they are good-looking.
