ezs note:  I'd like to take a few moments to discuss the United States Armed Forces.  While over the years there have some questionable activities - especially now - the forces have done their duty without complaint.  One of these people is Michelle Hart.  She is transgender. What, pray tell, is her reward?

First, they try to kick her out of the Armed Forces.

Then, they try to take away her existence.

VOTE.
