LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Trump right on banning transgender people from military – The News Herald

Allowing Transgenders in the Military will cause a lot of disorganization in the ranks. If the left is going to dictate to America that we are supposed to pretend that men are women and women are men, and that it is okay and normal for transgenders to serve in the military, then they are going to have a fight on their hands. We should not modify basic biology because it threatens their distorted and subjective sense of what they are.

Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital, has written that transgenderism is a "mental disorder" that merits treatment and that people who promote "sexual reassignment" surgery are collaborating with and promoting a mental disorder.

How can anyone in their right mind allow anyone diagnosed with even a hint of a "Mental Disorder" to fly a high performance fighter over Europe, to stand on watch in a missile silo in Wyoming, or monitor the health of a sub's nuclear reactor?

Bradley Manning now known as Chelsea Manning is a perfect example of the dangerous decisions that can be made by a person with a mental disorder. She / He leaked over 50,000 classified, military, and diplomatic documents that actually put lives in danger.

The American people deserve the best protection they can get from enemies foreign and domestic. So how can they believe they are in good hands if individuals like Manning are put in extremely sensitive positions?

All of this doesn't even take into account that Veterans all across America are hurting and some even dying from the lack of funds allotted to the Veterans Administration for normal everyday procedures. But still the liberals think the taxpayers should pay for reconstruction surgery for Trangenders. How can this procedure be allowed ahead of all the other Veterans that have served honorably and some even risking their lives to protect our country. Let's see if I got this right, the liberals think it's OK to spend the limited resources of the VA on surgery to change a man into a woman instead of having it available to use for surgery, medication, and rehabilitation to a wounded Military Veteran. What do you think?
