I am sorry , well not really , this is funny. People need to lighten up this PC shit is way out of hand. Probably the same people who disagree with Trumps Transgender ban.
As for the Trump Transgender ban that's a bit of a reach in this thread. Anyone who sees that as anything more than a smokescreen is deluded. The Obamacare repeal gains momentum briefly for the first time, and suddenly Trump tweets about something completely unrelated that's bound to end up all over every form of media as the main discussion piece despite the tweet having nearly no substance.It is correct that the tweet has no substance, the Pentagon needs a written order. I'm still glad the President has made his position known. The civilian authority listening to the needs of the military authority within their own sphere, rather than pigeonholing civilian social goals into the military framework, is a nice change of pace.

Except the military doesn't pay for gender reassignment surgery.Yes, it does. It started in late 2016 and that has yet to change. I'm afraid you've got your liberal talking points mixed up, you're supposed to say we spend more on Viagra than the estimated cost of voluntary castration, so checkmate budget hawks.
The military is becoming a big employer of transgendered people.It may have, after 2016, if the current Secretary of Defense had not delayed the new rule allowing for their enlistment last month, pending the completion of a Pentagon study on their affect on military readiness and lethality.
Except the military doesn't pay for gender reassignment surgery. The military is becoming a big employer of transgendered people. They don't face the same discrimination they face in civilian life, so they sign on in higher rates than any other group of the general population.
Let them fight.

Though there are better labels for people like William F. Buckley and Reagan than neoconservative. They're movement conservatives, which as a big tent does include neocons but is in no way a synonym. That tent also includes lolbertarians sometimes :^)
"Neoconservative" is itself kind of a loaded term which people like William Kristol have relatively recently decided to apply to themselves. Honestly a really wishy washy label in this day and age, and not entirely relevant anymore in the conservative movement. I mean, you have John McCain, but he's obviously almost dead. You may have never even heard of Bill Kristol.
For Archiboob, here is the short answer of what capital C Conservatism is from roughly the time of Goldwater to now:(click to show/hide)
It's important to remember that the Conservatives of today are the "classical liberals" of yesteryear, rather than the "classical conservatives."
and i don't know shit-all about that Buckley character, but i'm sure that i wouldn't like most of what he didvisitors can't see pics , please register or login
lets compromise here
lets shut down 9/10 of our bases in Italy, Japan, Germany, Australia, the Phillipines, etc etc
lets completely quit using military action without congressional approval, for fuck sake social networks glow white-hot with virtue signalling when one or two poor motherfuckers get murdered by an illegal immigrant, domestic/foreign terrorist, or whacko but we barely get a "hey we droned some stuff" on the news and hundreds of brown folk perish horribly ALL THE TIME
lets strongly curtail CIA involvement in foreign affairs while we're at it. lmao @ people whining about muh Russia in Ukraine, muh Russia in Crimea, muh Russia in our elections. the U.S. gub'mint straight up coup'd Ukraine's democratically-elected president Yukanovich in 2014, hows THAT for interference? ooooo no muh RT putting out fake news FOR GODS SAKE WE'RE STILL COUP'ING my old friendETS OUT HERE
also lets stop throwing around sanctions on all actors besides the Norks, "Iran's the biggest state sponsor of terror" ROFL, guess Saudia Arabia doesn't count
with all of these things accomplished, I would be perfectly fine allowing female-to-male or male-to-female transgendered individuals serve in our military in any capacity, so long as they fulfill all standard requirements
Why compromise? Almost all those things you mention are more important to national security than paying for sex change operations.
Anytime brother
After all, we're on the same side :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:
i would like to ask you, in all seriousness, how passing economic sanctions on Russia or Iran promotes our national security interests; defined as the physical well-being of United States citizens? when was the last time that Iran was directly or even indirectly responsible for a terror or other attack on US citizens? When was the last time Russia was?
I suggest that if H1tler had been brought up short at his remilitirazation of the Rhineland that WW 2 may have not occurred, at least when it did and how it did. The same principle applies to Putin and Crimea and Ukraine and by extension other former Soviet republics. How that involved the US in the 1940s and how it involves our security today is obvious.
Iran today, without nuclear weapons, makes existential threats against US allies. The threat may actually become possible and therefore temptingly achievable once Iran obtains nuclear weapons. If sanctions have any role in preventing such events then they protect our national security.
i would also like to ask how having myriad bases all throughout Europe and elsewhere left over from the Marshall plan and later interventionism promotes the physical well-being of United States citizens
Which interventions do you specifically mean?
The US is a global power which obtains many of it's resources and products from overseas. Despite the best efforts of the current occupant of the White House the US still has a leadership role and if a crises confronts the "West" it will again be looked at for leadership. In international affairs nobody likes, or more importantly, respects a weakling. If you are a maritime power, such as the US, and you want to protect sea communications in times of tension and if you intend to defend world wide allies against threats of aggression then you need to project power. Bases are part of what is needed to do that.
By the way I can't think of too many countries, in which we have bases, that have told us to get out but that we refused to leave.
i would also inquire exactly how overthrowing democratically-elected leaders abroad promotes the physical well-being of our citizens
I assume you are speaking of recent events (last 25 years)? You'll have to give me some concrete examples.

also that "compromise" bit was a joke, formed around the basis that there is no remotely likely chance that such changes would be enacted. i've got absolutely no interest at all in allowing or disallowing transgender folk into the military; the arguments for such a move are pathetic and mostly I've heard "it isn't just about the military, its about society! *insert reference to jim crow or segregation because apples and oranges are a good comparison*"
