Thoughts: A different assessment

I received this note from a friend ...

Trey Gowdy hit the nail on the head!

MILITARY SERVICE REQUIREMENT

Trey Gowdy, a former South Carolina Congressman, responded to a question from a CNN reporter about the ban of transgenders from joining the U.S. armed forces. As Trey typically does so very well, he nailed it rather succinctly.

Question: How can President Trump claim to represent all U.S citizens, regardless of sexual orientation, when he banned transgenders from joining the military? Isn't that discrimination?

Trey Gowdy's Response: Nobody has a right to serve in the Military. Nobody! What makes you people think the Military is an equal opportunity employer? It is very far from it - and for good reasons - let me cite a few" 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." he went on to explain: "By the way, 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-identification 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 push-ups? Not really a morning person? and refuse to get out of bed before noon? All can be legitimate reasons for denial"

"The Military has one job: Winning 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 must change yourself to meet Military standards and not the other way around." "I say again: You don't change the Military - you must change yourself. The Military is not about being fair, it is about taking advantage of others and about winning. The Military doesn't need to accommodate anyone with special issues. The Military needs to Win Wars and keep our Country safe -PERIOD!"

"If any of your personal issues are a liability that detracts from readiness or lethality... Thank you for applying and good luck in future endeavors."

"Any other questions?”

My considered reply ...

Sorry. I've bitten right through my tongue.

Gowdy was repeatedly unable to even review documents necessary to secure indictments of Hillary, Obama, and other deep state actors over a period of years, example "Tucker Carlson Calls Out (Softly) Trey Gowdy For His Prior Defenses of Mueller and Comey"...

How'd that work out for him?

Net worth 2016 ...Trey Gowdy's estimated net worth for 2016 is $79,999.

Pretty darn good apparently.

A fine bit of swamp ecosystem.

And his comments about DOD having standards? A fairy tale. Grandstanding rubbish and he knows it.

2008 The U.S. Army lowers recruitment standards … again.

2017 - Army is accepting more low-quality recruits, giving waivers for marijuana to hit targets

2023 - Lowering Recruitment Standards in the Military

https://starrs.us/lowering-recruitment-standards-in-the-military/

The reason service in quick food places is so bad now is that the low, but functional, IQ folks that use to work there could finally get into the military because of the lowered standards.

IQ? 'Behavioral Health' issues? Gender confused (trannies have a 40% suicide attempt rate)? All good now in today's DOD.

Marksmanship standards? I'm a 68 year old glaucoma sufferer and can shoot 'Expert' on the Navy's current qualification course, intended for the very large, 15 round, M9 pistol, with my snub nose .38.

DOD is a wasteland. A shadow of it's former abilities. It is now anti white, heterosexual, Christian male. Black racist Kendi's book on 'antiracism' (by implementing aggressive anti white racism) is endorsed by the Chief of Naval Operations (lookin' for that Raytheon board job no doubt). All of DOD has been mauled by ideologues and generations of brass did not defend the troops or combat effectiveness for fear of missing on their own advancement, or PC sensitive employment after ditching their uniforms.

My Navy is now full of rusting ships,

some burning down while tied to the pier,

when not colliding with things when underway (the USS Connecticut, one of only 3 super subs assigned a 'diverse' CO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPr7Yrwgly4 )
