You guys are weird. I don't care to fit your narrative.

I'm staunchly liberal on things like equality, poverty, education, and essentially most anything domestic.

I'm conservative on American projection against peer powers and budget.

YOU CAN BE BOTH!

It's not like I'm playing both sides, I publicly disagree with someone from either side when the opportunity to do so reasonably presents itself.

IDK. Just don't be a shithead, and make economic policies that make economic sense to the greatest number of us so we grow the size of the pie (instead of giving more pie to fewer people).

Don't give a shit what other people are doing unless their doings directly influence your doings (and then try to resolve any disagreements using words).

That INCLUDES positions like:
1) I'm happy to have any soldier next to me so long as they can do the job.
2) Your gun doesn't bother me so long as you blasting a shotgun in NYC can't go through my paper thin wall and fuck my life up.

I don't feel like I'm the crazy one here.

Like IF a transgender surgery would preclude you from doing an infantry job, then...duh, you probably shouldn't be infantry. (I personally know that this isn't universally true)

BUT ALSO

IF you want a shotgun in an apartment complex in a big city, maybe NO! Those walls are thin

I don't test sex orientation of soldiers. I just wanna know if they can carry a standard body of a dead comrade 200 meters.

I similarly don't care to test the weaponry of my redneck neighbors. I assume anyone needing to know will find out quickly what guns they have.

I'd prefer we have general systems in place that ensure that Infantry can do Infantry things and that farmers 3 hours away from anyone can still do their things. That requires not being sycophantic to any party.

I'm a small male (as they come). I probably couldn't put 200 lbs on my back at the moment and run it 200 meters to the safety of our line. I'd probably fail the standards I'm setting.

I'm suggesting that anyone who CAN SHOULD be allowed. Sex be damned.

For whatever its worth, I did get a trans-gendered soldier under my authority once. I was transitioning into the role as she (future he) was going through that processes.

I wasn't made aware until I was like "why is he using the shitter all the time? Should I be concerned?" and someone pulled me aside and told me.
