I Feel So Much Safer
December 11, 2017
Trump’s attempt to ban new transgender people from enlisting in the military has been overturned by a federal court. “The Pentagon said Monday that it will begin processing transgender applicants to the military on January 1.”
This is not being forced on the military. Many military leaders want this or don’t care. Former Secretary of Defense Ash Carter was all for it. Now, personally, I don’t care who is in the military and what they think they are and what their sexual practices and perversions are. But I will say this:
- I don’t think any decent and moral person should have anything to do with today’s military.
- I point these things out about the military because so many Americans, and especially conservative Christians, hold the military in such high esteem.
