Trey Gowdy’s comments on the military (in response to the trans gender BS)

Nobody has a “right” to serve in the Military. Nobody.
What makes people think the Military is an equal opportunity employer?
Very far from it.

The Military uses prejudice regularly and consistently to deny citizens
from joining for being too old or too young, too fat or too skinny, too tall
or too short.

Citizens are denied for having flat feet, or for missing or additional
fingers. Poor eyesight will disqualify you, as well as bad teeth.
Malnourished? Drug addiction? Bad back? Criminal history? Low IQ? Anxiety? Phobias?
Hearing damage? Six arms? Hear voices in your head? Self-identify as a
Unicorn?

Need a special access ramp for your wheelchair? Can’t run the required
course in the required time? Can’t do the required number of pushups?
Not really a “morning person” and refuse to get out of bed before noon?
All can be reasons for denial.

The Military has one job. War. Anything else is a distraction and a
liability.

Did someone just scream “That isn’t Fair”? War is VERY unfair, there are
no exceptions made for being special or challenged or socially wonderful.
YOU change yourself to meet Military standards. Not the other way around.
I say again: You don’t change the Military… you must change yourself.
The Military doesn’t need to accommodate anyone with special issues. The
Military needs to Win Wars.

If any of your personal issues are a liability that detract from readiness
or lethality… Thank you for applying and good luck in future endeavors.
Who’s next in line?
