On Tuesday, it was reported by our own Bob Hoge that the Supreme Court had sided with President Donald Trump and will allow him to continue with his ban on transgender people from the military for now.
This is huge news, given the fact that our military was absolutely weakened by the obsessive inclusion of transgender people into it. The obsession went so deep, that they were openly flaunting their transgenderism (and even sexual kinks) in the open as if they were proud additions to our military.
Need I remind you...

And that was a large part of the issue with transgender people in the military, or even people who put their LGBT lifestyle on full blast during their "service."
Yeah, there was a serious issue with mental illness infecting it which could lead to some serious issues both in and out of combat situations — it's because the people who did that weren't really there to serve the United States via the military. They were there to serve their own cause, and using the military as a tool to do it with.
For starters, "gender-affirming" surgeries began in 2015 under the Obama administration, were halted during Trump's first term, then continued again under the Biden administration, resulting in millions and millions of dollars going to fostering mental illness:
A senior defense official said Thursday they believe there are about 4,200 troops diagnosed with gender dysphoria currently serving in the active duty, National Guard and Reserves.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss personnel issues, said that between 2015 and 2024, the total cost for psychotherapy, gender-affirming hormone therapy, gender-affirming surgery and other treatment for service members is about $52 million.
Mental issues do not typically make a person stronger, but far weaker, which isn't exactly a quality that should ever be appreciated by the U.S. military. Weakness in the military could result in a lot of deaths, which is why our military traditionally spent a lot of time and effort to drill weakness out of the people who wanted to be included in it.
If you're a soldier, your concern is ultimately accomplishing the mission while getting your fellow soldiers out alive, and ideally yourself as well. Military service is ultimately a selfless act at the most basic level. You're not just serving your country, you're serving the soldier next to you, and with your own life if it calls for it.
But these "gender-affirming" surgeries and medical procedures are entirely a selfish act that benefits only one person, if you don't include the bureaucrats and activists who would love nothing more than another notch for the statistics.
If forced to choose between serving the military and serving the transgender cause, do you think the vast majority of these people would choose the military? If they were tasked with giving it all, would they lay their lives down on the line? Maybe some would, but given the pattern of transgender activists, I sincerely doubt the answer would be a selfless one.
I can remember a while ago, a U.S. soldier posted to TikTok about how he was able to get all these procedures done, most of them being aesthetic, and all on our dime. What struck me the most is that he was so self-focused that at the end, even when I thought he was going to say he was thankful, he simply said he was thankful "to be alive now."
This man who thinks he’s a woman says he’s glad to be serving in the military now so he can “undergo a full gender transition” and get lip injections, Botox, laser hair removal, and hormones- all paid for by our tax dollars. pic.twitter.com/thxEwSpaee

You can't serve two masters, and while I'd like to say the transgender activists in the military are trying to serve two... they ultimately aren't. Their central focus is themselves, and you could say it's also their cause if you want to be generous, but really, this is just a me-centric kind of activism.
The military suffered from their inclusion. They were a clear sign that the U.S. armed forces weren't taking themselves seriously and were giving themselves over to vanity and mental illness. With Pete Hegseth now in the driver's seat, recruitment has skyrocketed. That's not an accident. The military has returned to a mentality of service, and strength is now back as a priority.
Weakness in a business that deals in death can get you killed, and selfishness is weakness at its core.
