To be someone other people don't accept or understand is difficult. If our culture and the world realized that not everyone was born into the right body with the right parts or the right chromosomes this wouldn't be an issue and no one would blink an eye, but trans people are constantly being slandered, ridiculed, mocked, harmed physically, emotionally, and even killed for who they are.

And let me tell you right now that that uniform doesn't make those people heroes. Guaranteed you've got some scum bags in the mix who just want to kill people, who rape and get away with it because that's the norm in the armed forces, who had no direction in life and decided they had no better choice. That's not to say every armed force member is a disgusting prick, but to compare the two is ridiculous.
 
I agree with Dee, the uniform doesn't make a hero. Though I don't feel caitlyn is a hero either. That's just my opinion, I am sure she is in someone's else's eye. It's just a matter of on how each individual sees it I suppose.

Her journey to where she is now was difficult and no doubt an emotional rollercoaster, now she is finally happy. One can't go through life being miserable because youre afraid of what society thinks.

I am afraid you are wrong. If you sign up freely to join our military knowing full well you can be sent to dangerous areas of the world they are heroes no question about it. Not to mention how many of our military do daily training risking there lives just for our country. THEY DAMN WELL ARE HEROES!


Bruce Jenner has every right to do what he did. But this nonsense some people are born in the wrong bodies is a load so big my toilet is clogged and I need to get the worlds best plunger to clear it. This is sad and we are praising mentally ill people for mutilating there bodies.

Excellent! And it is damn disgusting how some people are coming out like they did in Vietnam trying to say there is some wide spread culture that our brave men and women who truly do this for love of seeing there family stay safe for the future have some need to hurt people for the joy it. It is plain disgusting and I promise you if I heard it in public I would be arrested for decking this person in the face.

I still enjoy hearing the story during Vietnam when my mother met my father coming off the plane from his deployment in the Army coming home and some guy spit on his face. My mother explains in a split second he head butt the guy in the nose. Blood was coming out everywhere! Police showed up and my father explained what happened. One of the two cops told him to get out of here now and fast!

The cop understood the crap people give these people just like the cops today are seeing from a ungrateful public in these shit cities.
 
There are people who join and then desert. So by your guidelines they are hero's for simply signing up?

No, they are not hero's for simply signing up.

Uniform doesn't make a hero.

This statement makes no sense. All of our military desert the military? Maybe one percent do such a thing. And those people are not in the discussion. Whatever they were when they decided to join no longer apply.

No, they are not hero's for simply signing up.

Without question they are down to the cook who makes food for the BUDS who finished hell week so people can make silly comments saying they are not heroes.

Uniform doesn't make a hero.

The uniform for our military is just what the hero wears for what they do for us.
