I mean... Oh, no, you see it.
Because almost everyone I talk to, I said, oh, yeah, our unit's got, you know, this person is the tramp.
And so we have to do this additional training all the time, and there's all this...
Everyone has to be really careful about what they say.
And in many cases, they're sort of like the DEI director inside, their equity director inside the unit, which you've basically taken the DEI concept inside a lot of these military units, and I don't know exactly what level it's at, if it's at the battalion or the brigade level, but you've inserted that concept
decision-making, kind of an HR process, which undermines the commander also because the DEI advisor, you know, can do no wrong.
And so the assessments of the units, diversity and capabilities, it's just, and then transgenders.
I mean, the idea that, do you remember, I don't know, if you go through your MOAB station to deploy, if you had a Cat 4 dental,
they pulled your tooth because you can't be out in the field with a major dental emergency where there's no dentist.
And so I deployed with a lot of guys who were like, because they just had a tooth pulled and they had to.
Yet we're now allowing people who used to be men or women join
And then after that, we pay for medical or physical transitions to another gender, which by definition makes them non-deployable and non-trainable.
Same thing with asthma medication or inhalers.
When you're in basic training, you can't have an inhaler
when you're doing your exercises because you can't count on having an inhaler in a combat situation.
Well, if you're medically dependent on drugs to maintain your gender or a particular balance of chemicals inside your body, you're by definition non-deployable.
And so they'd have soldiers who can't train, can't deploy, have been on the books, and yet everyone has to be careful about what pronoun you use with them.
That has nothing to do with how effective a unit's gonna be.
So something like that should be banned on day one in a Trump administration.
We're not doing the treaty, and he did that.
