Glad Uncle Touchy down in Bama lost.

It's lonely in the middle as a mostly fiscally conservative and mostly social liberal (there are personal lines in there both left and right...hence being in the middle).

For example: I'm totally cool if some dude wants to become a Caitlyn Jenner. Whatever puts the blue into your jeans dude/dudette. Freedom eh!

BUT....you also want to serve in the military and force taxpayers to foot the bill for your transition? Ah hell no - that's where I draw a line. When actual lives are involved, social experiments must come second. I don't care "if you are serving your country to ensure that freedom remains free" or whatever other trite BS you roll out. That dog won't hunt at all. You ARE hindering your squad and putting lives at risk all-the-while costing John Q taxpayer big money. That isn't serving your country or anyone else but yourself and your social cause. So no. Sorry.
