Is it a womenorah now?

You might think that Israel, being in a tough neighborhood, with its survival at stake, would not allow woke nonsense to seep into its military and potentially compromise its national security. You would be wrong.

Israel for the first time ever will honor a transgender soldier with special medal of honor during the country’s annual Independence Day state ceremony, it was revealed Tuesday.

Sergeant Noam Shahar from Home Front Command’s mixed gender rescue unit will receive the President’s Medal during the country’s 74th Independence Day celebrations on Wednesday.

The soldier said she dedicated herself to setting an example even before joining Home Front Command. Last year, she chose to do her beret march- an arduous journey each IDF soldier goes through before being accepted to their respective corps – with the pride flag on her vest.

  1. It’s never quite clear what the transgender correction is in the media, but I going to assume by appearance that Sarge is a guy masquerading as a female. Who earned a medal by living up to the requirements of women in the Israeli military, yes? Eye-roll. Gotta think that pride flag on “her” vest will make a nice target for the ever so accommodating-to-gender-shenanigans Muslim opponents.

  2. This is proof that Jeff is smoking something funny in his previous post.

  3. To be fair to Israel, they’re not historically a position to turn up their nose at any manpow…er, personnel they can get.

    They were allowing gay servicepeople loooong before most western militaries, because at the end of the day, when you see your military as the only thing between you and a second, bigger Holocaust, a guy in a tank is a guy in a tank, whatever their orientation.

    Call it woke? Logically consistent? Expedient? I don’t know, it’s not my nation.

  4. I support the creation of the Lysistrada Corps: teams of warriors-who-identify-as-female assigned to do battle in rotation, each team taking one week per month when their eagerness to pick a fight is at its peak.

    Hey, it’s not my idea, it came from a sci fi book published six decades ago. I’m just saying, it seems applicable. After all, I’ve been assured that trans-women menstrate too, so I assume they can be just as b***y during their premenstrual time as any cis-women. Why not utilize Mother Nature’s monthly ‘gift’ as efficiently as possible for the benefit of all those engaged in military service?

    Okay, serious question – do I really need to include the /sarc/ tag for this post? Seriously?

  5. As Barry Goldwater said, you don’ t have to be straight to be a good soldier. You just have to shoot straight. Think of all the great people the military lost the services of through prejudice and ignorance.

  6. Emery, take a close look at the study you cite. There are estimates of prevalence of gender disphoria, estimates of the cost of treatment, estimates of the impacts….but no real hard data.

    For my part, I’ve worked with retired officers who dealt with the fallout of women in the ranks, and they report they spent a LOT of time dealing with the fallout of soldiers who used their status as “pretty lady among lots of handsome men” as an opportunity to play “the dating game” while on deployment to the point that “notches in the bedposts” turned the whole bed into sawdust. Enlisted men I’ve known declared the moral mood to be horrifically bad as well, and of course the data are out there regarding physical readiness–women tend to get injured a lot more than men with the same burdens. So when the DOD compares the fallout of women in combat ranks to this and declares there was no problem, that doesn’t ring true.

    Along the same lines, they really don’t address the issues of adding transition drugs and other supplies to the supply chain (Wal-Mart distribution is difficult in a war zone), reduced physical fitness among male soldiers deprived of testosterone, mental health challenges, and the like. They only say “there currently aren’t very many so it’s not a big problem.”

    We might call this, to put it bluntly, a “whitewash” of what’s really going on.

  7. Super. Now take in boatloads of refugees from 3rd world shit holes, like you demand Europe and the US do.
