(This post may contain disputed claims. We make no assertions as to the validity of the information presented by our Opinion Columnist. We are an opinion blog, not a traditional news outlet, and this post should be treated as such. Enjoy.)For two terms, Barack Obama did everything in his power to destroy our country. He crippled our military and took us back to pre World War II capabilities, while at the same time making us the laughing stock of the world with the changes he implemented. Now, the Supreme court has just issued a ruling that will no doubt send this traitor and all of his minions into a collective rage.
Thankfully, we have a president in office who truly loves this country and wants to restore America back to her former glory. Obama, on the other hand, treated our military like his pet social experiment, where we had our soldiers marching in gay pride parades and transgenders like “Sergeant Patricia” leading infantry units.
Now, Trump is reining in some of the insanity that was allowed to run rampant for 8 years, and unfortunately for Obama, Trump just got the support of the Supreme Court in a paramount ruling that was just issued on Tuesday.
The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a 5-4 decision that President Donald Trump could enact a policy that will severely limit the service of transgender troops.
Judges did not decide on the merits of the case, they only lifted injunctions put in place by lower court while the constitutionality of the case is debated.
It will continue to argued in lower courts and is likely to end back before the nation’s high court for a final verdict.
Conservatives on the court aligned to keep the president’s rules for transgender service, which require the solider to abide by the service standards of his or her birth identity.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor — liberals on the court —said in a dissent that the injunctions should have remained in place.
A California-based federal appeals court will now have the chance to provide a ruling on the substance of the case.
Transgender service had been barred until President Barack Obama’s changed the rule. He also rolled back the ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy that kept LGBT individuals from serving.
Trump announced a policy changes of his own on Twitter in July 2017 that were later officially codified by the Pentagon and then-Secretary of Defense James Mattis.
The policy blocks individuals who suffer from a condition known as gender dysphoria from serving in the military with limited exceptions.
It does let individuals without the condition serve but only if they do so according to the sex they were assigned at birth. [Source: Daily Mail]
Whether liberals want to face the facts or not, the hard truth remains that allowing transgenders into our military will degrade our military readiness. This is not us being mean, nor does it have anything to do with “social justice” as the left would love everyone to believe.
Combat is already stressful enough, and considering that transgenders’ suicide rate is eight times the rate of the general populace, handing a transgender an M-16 or giving them access to weapons of mass destruction is not the smartest idea. Would you feel comfortable being a fox hole with someone who is 9 times more likely to kill themselves?
At the end of the day, our military forces were not put in place to be instruments of social change or social justice. Our Marines, Air Force, Navy, and Army are trained to be efficient killing machines and are trained to fight off the enemy in the most expeditious way possible. The argument that being able to serve in the military is a “right” is complete lunacy, and people’s feelings need to take a back seat when our military readiness and protecting our country is on the line.
Of course, liberals will continue to whine and accuse President Donald Trump of being a bigot. But as our Commander-in-Chief, he’s simply making decisions with the safety of our country in mind, and he understands that people’s hurt feelings are minuscule detail when compared to safeguarding the readiness and badassery of our armed forces.
