Ben Carson on military: ‘Deal with the transgender thing somewhere else’

Presidential candidate Ben Carson believes everyone visiting the United States should register and be monitored during their stay, his spokesman said on Monday after Republican rival Donald Trump called for a ban on Muslims entering the country.

“I do not appreciate using our military as a laboratory for social experimentation”, Carson said for Concerned Veterans for America in Waterloo. “That choice is to take care of them over there in safe areas and that’s what they want”, Carson said. So you know, I went down to the Arizona border, I went to Ferguson, I went to Baltimore, you know, it tends to make a much bigger impression.

Carson’s remarks are a response to the USA government initiative to create an infrastructure to incorporate transgender people in the military. Carson promised to only be a puppet for God, and said, “The New World Order is not interested in him, I can guarantee you”.

He then shifted his focus towards gays in the military, and guess what – he doesn’t like them either.

There are now an estimated 15,000 transgender troops who have been forced to hide their gender identities for fear of being discharged.

His comments were made as the Pentagon prepares to begin allowing out trans people to serve in the armed forces from 2016.

Ben Carson had harsh words for LGBT service members when speaking at a Veterans Town Hall Saturday.

“So that’s not necessarily the thing that has to count, you have to look at a person’s lifetime experiences”. “We have too many important things to do when our men and women are out there fighting the enemy”.

On whether the US should accept Syrian refugees, Carson said some argue there are only two options: bringing in refugees or being “hard-hearted and cold individuals”. “But we have to be steadfast about the requirements”.

“Nevertheless, he also said that in a combat role no one is interested in the troops” sexuality, but on how to repel the enemy.

“But, you know, what woman wants to go out on the front line in the dirt and the slime fighting? I’m never going to say “No” to women, but I’m very frightened about women in certain positions if we have to lower the standards”.
