Boots or Heels?

By Tammy Derouin

A liberal asked, “What is with Trump and his bans? Now he doesn’t want transgenders in the military?” There are two very important issues in this question with consequences that could easily affect several generations.

If we want to remain free and independent, we have to protect our borders, keeping individuals out who seek to destroy our country. We also have to employ the best individuals to do this job. Anyone struggling between boots or heels should be excluded from the military.

Islam promotes conquest, enslavement and death. There is sheer hatred for Christians, Jews, women, homosexuals, anyone that doesn't agree with them, freedom in general and the United States as a whole. Individuals need to be vetted, scrutinized, before they are allowed into our home. Take a look at your family. Are there any females, homosexuals, transgenders or individuals who like to speak their minds in your family unit? Take a look at Islam and Sharia Law. Understand that you are welcoming death and destruction into our country and into your personal life. Knowing the truth is vital to our survival.

The hatred being launched at our president for protecting our country is unreal. But, it also shows how little knowledge people have about the importance of national security. We had a president who, for eight years, allowed our borders to be open. He tied the hands of our border patrol and wouldn’t allow them to do their job. In what upside-down world does protecting our home get you ridiculed and endangering our home, to the point of negligence, (treason in my opinion) gets you praise?

Our freedoms will disappear if we are unable to defend them. Our national security must be top priority; something our current president understands. He wants to keep our enemies out. Thankfully, he is ignoring the name calling. Besides, it’s just a control tactic by the Liberal Left. Don’t let a schoolyard bullying tactic shackle you. Our freedom and independence are too important.

You would not allow strangers to waltz into your home and do whatever they pleased. You would not hand them your paycheck or make them priority while dismissing your own family. What if individuals showed up with weapons, chanting death to your household? You would call the police and expect them to show up in combat gear ready to perform. A mentally challenged individual, who is questioning their own identity, should not be in this position.

Not everyone is capable of being in the military. Not everyone that is capable of being in the military is capable of Special Forces. We cannot afford to have individuals in our military who suffer from a mental disorder, including but not limited to transgender disorder.

The military is not the place you go if you are struggling with identity issues. They are not there to hold your hand while you decide between boots or heels. It is not the government’s job or the taxpayer’s responsibility to coddle you through your misgivings. If you do not know what is looking back at you in the mirror, you need help. The military is not a social experiment!

Standards should not be lowered for anyone, a male or female. Standards and requirements are in place for a reason. Shame on the military and the powers that be for allowing the Liberals and their delicate sensibilities to undercut our defenses. We need a strong military, one that demands standards and excellence. Just because you want to serve doesn’t mean you are capable or able to serve.

Remember when tryouts encouraged you to practice? There was a desire to achieve your personal best. Not everyone makes the team and for very good reasons. The team, the company and especially the military wants and needs the best of the best. We have turned ourselves into a pansy nation. We have become so ultra-sensitive it's downright embarrassing.

Liberals didn’t want anyone to be left out or to feel bad so they shot us in the foot with their “everyone gets a trophy” scheme. By giving everyone ribbons and trophies the undeserving become winners too. We have chosen a suicidal course. That self-inflicted bullet wound is making its way higher. Errors and failures can eventually lead to success stories. If everyone wins for just showing up, there’s no longer an incentive to try harder or try a different path.

If we cannot depend on our military to defend our country, our freedoms and independence are gone. Those individuals who need help are now a much bigger target thanks to ignorance. Without our military to protect our country and our Constitution, we do not exist. By not understanding reality today, you do not understand the fallout you are creating for tomorrow.
