[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it a bad thing to raise physical fitness and combat trainability standards, and exclude people with gender dysphoria-related mental illness?

I fail to understand how doing any of those things hurts the effectiveness of our military or makes us any more vulnerable as a nation.

Care to explain your reasoning?[/quote]

I mean, it’s kind of stupid and definitely super outdated thinking in 2026, it only serves to keep out otherwise qualified people. That’s OK, that kind of stupidity is to be expected of a Hegseth led military, but it’s way more silly when you take into account the fact that they are now taking people up to 42 years of age and people have questionable ethics and morals. This is not about fitness for combat it’s about implementing some childish version of what incompetent leaders view of what the military should be based upon their heroes like Vladimir Putin. I mean, sure, they will let in a bunch of child molesters and criminals as long as they can do 100 push-ups, but they’re going to exclude people that are actually capable of fighting a 21st-century war.

Anyway, I was more responding to someone’s false assertion that it’s more difficult to get into the military. They only made it more difficult for qualified people.

I don’t think the military is made more combat effective by allowing mentally ill people who insist they are another gender, or physically unfit people in poor shape, to serve.

Both groups are detriments, not assets.

They are absolutely recruiting mentally il people now more than ever, and you don’t have to be able to do 20 pull-ups to do most of the work of modern warfare. It’s so stupid that it’s not even worth arguing about.  We are going to be far less prepared than we already are.[/quote]

It IS worth arguing about. You’ll need something besides rhetoric to prove your assertion.

I would like you to explain to me why a 300lb 21 year old male with Type2 diabetes who cannot run 100 yards, or a 110 lb woman who insists she is a man, are better soldiers or marines than physically fit, nueronormative males in their late teens or 20’s.

I’m asking you to please argue your case for this. Don’t walk away - make your stand here and prove to me why I’m wrong about this.

[b]I won't even engage with you about the "woman who thinks she's a man" because I perceive that you have a grade school understanding of biology[/b].[/quote]

This is true.

I learned in grade school biology that chromosomes are what determine male or female gender. And that nothing can change your genetics.

[/quote]

I guess you failed biology because chromosomes determine sex and not gender. Maybe you should stfu until you know basic facts about the subject matter being discussed.[/quote]
