Yep.
Agree, and agreed.
No lowering of standards, and no "accommodations", correct?
So, what's the new knee length of skirts allowable as they climb the wall or scratch through the rope ceiling?
What a bucket of stupidity. Introduce one more thing in to the degradation of our service men and women.
Good grief.

RE: pentagon to lift ban on trans troops...
This will be interesting. Male and female uniform standards are very different. I'm curious to see how this plays out. Additionally, I don't really care as long as TRICARE doesn't cover any sort of gender modification. There are "real" medical issues for many people that aren't covered by TRICARE. A buddy of mine had to pay out of pocket to restructure his child's skull because of a birth defect when he was born while serving. They classified it as "cosmetic". If that wasn't covered then there should be hell to pay if trans folks mutilating themselves is covered in any way shape or form.

I firmly stand in opposition to any public funds being spent on sex change procedures and medications the same as I do for tattoos, breast augmentation,piercings or any other self inflicted body modification or mutilation. Other than that?.. I have no real problem with them serving in the military as long as they meet the physical standards like everyone else.

That's really going to strike fear into the hearts of the enemy! A 6'4" he-she with fake boobs, a big swinging dick, and an M4.
No, really. I think tranny warfare is brilliant!
