R.I.P. Scout26
I get a little bit tired of (actually very offended by) people writing off or insulting the men and women who serve in our military, every time their benighted leadership does something stupid. Can we not say stuff like "I don't support the troops"?
So, what will be the appropriate salutation for a TG officer?
No. The premise that a few transgendereds being allowed in the military will somehow destroy it is idiotic. Piss poor funding and leadership is a far greater threat.
I would disagree. The British Army had truly awful leadership for centuries and was poorly funded throughout most of its existence. Yet, it managed to be quite effective imposing the will of King & Parliament. (Hey, that sounds a bit like the USMC...)
Well it was a volunteer army but then punishments of being shot, whipped or sent away to rot in prison are a pretty good motivator.
Mister just comes from master anyway, and anyone who thinks you can't call a woman "master" has clearly been severely squandering their Friday nights.
In the end, this may be part of the objective, as these new sorts will be more willing to shoot and kill Americans with whom they have no or little sympathy.
You really think the average politician thinks past the next election cycle, or on how to get a lucrative contract passed they can graft on?
The Gaystapo and Tranny Auxiliaries are a sign of rot at the core of the institution. Anyone with a decent set of morals and tradition will look at .mil as not worthy of their sacrifice. There will be fewer quality and motivated men enlisting and taking commissions. Many that do will look at themselves as more mercenary professionals than previous cohorts. Time in .mil will be little more than a means to an end than an end in itself. Gov't and .mil will seek out warm bodies to fill the ranks from outside the USA, men who have no cultural affinity for America.In the end, this may be part of the objective, as these new sorts will be more willing to shoot and kill Americans with whom they have no or little sympathy.

For some reason popular culture has made homosexuality and gender confusion "cute". It's cool to support it, it is wrong to question it, discrimination against it will probably land you in prison in the near future and and it appears to be actively promoted by new policies.
Read some history. Multiethnic empires have a way of slipping into the same grooves, time after time. Roman, Ottoman, Austrian, Russian, Han Chinese, and others used various ethnic groups to suppress others. Also a diminution of core nation participation in the military establishment of the day that coincides with a professionalization of the military establishment.Not sure why some think the USA not subject to the same forces that shaped previous grand polities.
. . . Now this. Is it just me, or have media & government becoming one unending freak show?
It can't be a freak show. Nobody is biting the head off a chicken. Although all the anurismic esplody heads I am certain will be coming soon might just qualify.Question - if you slap the sword swallower on the back does it count as sepiku? ('Cause I'm thinking of some folks who just might swallow a sword while theit head is encased.)stay safe.stay safe.
The billed performer's act consisted of a single geek, who stood in center ring to chase live chickens. It ended with the performer biting the chickens' heads off and swallowing them.[1] The geek shows were often used as openers for what are commonly known as freak shows. It was a matter of pride among circus and carnival professionals not to have traveled with a troupe that included geeks. Geeks were sometimes alcoholics or drug addicts, and could be paid with liquor – especially during Prohibition – or with narcotics.
