l served in Iraq in 2006. For the first five months I was on a 12 man firebase out in the middle of nowhere in the desert 8:33 AM-26 Jul 2017 https://archive.is/RSDrX 2,871 Retweets 6,477 Likes Everyday was Groundhog Day. Wake up and do the same patrols, the same shifts, every single day. It was so damn hot. 150° in the gun trucks Tracer fire would go overhead occasionally at night. IED's on the road were a daily threat. We got resupplied food every 8 days QRF was an hour away. After they made the minimum three gun truck rule after the guys got kidnapped, life got harder. The stress of being out there and doing the same job every single day eats away at you. The younger guys had problems with that overtime Any tiny little personal issue they had suddenly became a mountain. And that s--- came out on that fire base. And they snapped mentally After stepping on each other's nuts living in the same can for five months, guys were at each other's throats. The stress made it worse Guys would literally snap over a dear John letter. Their personal issues came out and they were instantly combat ineffective Now take someone confused about whether they are a man/woman. Take those psychological and emotional issues and put them in that environment Take someone who is right off the bat not uniform or part of the same team. Give them special treatment because of their identity Take that person, put them in that stressful war environment and watch what happens. It's a f------ ticking time bomb You have to be incredibly tough mentally, physically and emotionally. War is not a f------ video game. It tests every ounce of vour being You can't teach someone to be a fearless warrior in a f------ PowerPoint. You either have it or you don't. You can hack it or you can't. We had guys who couldn't. When faced with combat situations they crumbled They had mental and emotional issues. They were a liability To be successful at war, you have to become a warrior mentally, physically, and emotionally. You can't fake it and go through the motions In war if it comes down to kill or be killed, and you hesitate, you're dead. It's a simple as that. It's not a f------ video game War is no place for people who are mentally, emotionally, or physically confused or in turmoil. You have your s--- together, or you don't. And if you don't, you'll just get people needlessly killed. Political correctness has absolutely no place in the military Enough for now. This one armed veteran has a business to run. Unlike Iran, the country that took my arm, Obama didn't pay me millions

Just in: Justice Dept tells me they're considering what to do next in transgender military ban - which was blocked today by federal judge On Judge's Order Blocking Trump's Transgender Military Ban "We disagree with the Courts ruling and are currently evaluating the next steps. Plaintiffs' lawsuit challenging military service requirements is premature for many reasons, including that the Defense Department is actively reviewing such service requirements, as the President ordered, and because none of the Plaintiff:s have established that they will be impacted by current policies on military service."
