I am not going to comment on the issue at hand, but I will say this. There is no such thing as equal rights or equal anything in the military. There are all kinds of people with all kinds of issues that are not allowed to serve. People with physical limitations are told all the time they are not allowed to serve. Mental issues? Forget about it. Shady background? Forget about it. Once again, I am not commenting on today's decision, but the word equal doesn't apply to the military. That is just reality.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
My grandson wanted to join the Marine Corps...after his father and his grandfather (me)...he was rejected because of a minor allergic reaction to dish detergent. He has not complained that the Corps "declared war" on him - just accepted the decision sadly and got on with his life.
Just read this piece, so will insert it into the discussion here:
Veteran's Honest Reaction to Trump's Transgender Ban Set to Go Viral: 'Before You Call Me a Homophobe…'
Good read.
