In an amazing display of\u00a0hypocrisy, homosexual activists concerned President Trump may reverse their political gains are demanding he not “politicize” military personnel\u00a0policies.<\/p>\n
The irony, of course, is that those same groups advocated<\/em> the politicization of the personnel policy when it benefited their<\/em> agenda.<\/p>\n The homosexual advocacy group The Palm Center released a letter<\/a> signed by 31 high ranking (though relatively unknown) retired military officers pleading that Trump focus on military readiness rather than social issues:\u00a0 <\/p>\n We believe the incoming administration must firmly commit to ensuring steady leadership of our armed forces based on proven principles of military readiness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The statement fails to note that allowing homosexuals to openly serve had, with the most optimistic outlook, a neutral<\/strong> impact<\/a> on military\u00a0readiness.\u00a0 Even some homosexuals have openly admitted allowing homosexuals to serve openly has had a negative<\/strong> effect<\/a>, and one report indicated as many as 20% of units that had a homosexual<\/strong><\/a> “come out”<\/strong> experienced a negative impact on the unit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Similarly, the US military is currently placing tremendous emphasis not on warfighting<\/strong> but on training the 3-million man force on transgenderism — a sexual group that makes up about\u00a00.3% of the population<\/a>. Given the population proportion and military mission, it would not be unreasonable to\u00a0conclude that effort may be detracting<\/em> from military readiness.<\/p>\n It is interesting that some groups have suddenly decided the US military shouldn’t be used as a vehicle for social change — at least, not\u00a0if the social change doesn’t work in their favor.<\/p>\n Repeated at The Hill<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n ADVERTISEMENT<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
