In Today's Military, Men Are Women and Women Are Stronk*
* For Some Values of "Stronk"

The good news: Looks like we're all probably in good enough shape to serve in today's military.

The bad news: We're all going to die.

Diversity is our strength. Except, apparently, the more diversity the military seeks, the less strength it requires.

That seems to be the lesson of the Army's physical fitness standards, which do not apply to people who are getting "gender-affirming" care.

Below, a very fat, very soft man who decided one day he didn't feel like cutting weight or doing pushups so now he's a "woman" and you will salute his Gender Choices, soldier!

He's now exempt from the normal Army physical requirements. Jordan Schaechtel found this Army regulation allowing exemptions for physical fitness requirements for those undergoing "cross-sex hormone treatment."

Revolver reports that he's gotten himself an exemption from physical fitness standards.

From the US Army's in-house propaganda media outlet.

Living authentically saves Soldier's life

"Living authentically" is going to put this gross cow in the hospital for a quadruple bypass.

ROCK ISLAND, Ill. -- Coming out as a transgender female saved Maj. Rachel Jones' life.

The U.S. Army Sustainment Command Cyber Division chief, G6 (Information Management), struggled with depression and suicidal ideation for most of her life. Today, she is living her truth and is no longer battling depression or suicidal thoughts.

Apparently the Army has suspended psychological fitness requirements for this Very Special Soldier as well.

The observance of Pride Month, celebrated every June, was first recognized by the Department of Defense in June 2012. It is a time when the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community come together to celebrate love and authenticity.

And how would you say it's been going since that decision?

Many LGBTQ+ people must overcome deep-rooted fear, shame and adversity in order to live as their most authentic self, though.

The road to self-acceptance was not easy for Jones. Before coming out privately to her therapist, Jones lived every day deeply depressed and suicidal.

...

While on a six-month assignment away from home, Jones finally realized that she needed to make a change. She made an appointment to meet with a therapist to sort through these feelings and learn self-acceptance.

...

Although Jones privately came out in 2019, she could not publicly come out due to the military's ban on transgender service members.

The article strongly implies that Jones has Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder from serving as a combat soldier, but never actually says that -- so I think it's a deliberate attempt to mislead. To steal some valor from actual combat veterans to give it to this lumpy wreck.

Maybe he's friends with David French.
