In many situations, an independent duty corpsman on a Navy Frigate, Destoyer, Curiser while on deployment isn't equipped to be able to successfully handle the medical issues both physically and mentally that could arise because a confused individual wants to live in a fantasy world.

There is nothing about not having trans in military not having value. The Navy trans as a woman is not a woman so when did he/she transition, Before or after. She can look female but he is a he with all the advantages of muscle mass. Since he actually passed the physical stuff indicates the maleness prior to transition. I’d like to see the requirements if mental fitness before the transition and after. Beside getting breasts did he go all the way with removing male organs? If not then it’s more a dress up issue. Being in the military is probably not really a good place for trans. Is he now a lesbian as acting a woman? So many questions with few answers.

how many combat zones has he flown in since he went mentally ill and became a girl?

You spend too much time on issues of such little concern. This is one of the reasons that so many people have turned on CNN and why many have voted for Republicans in the last election. Frankly if I was transgender, treated the way they are by Republicans, I would quit the military.

First let me say that I fully support anyone who is fully physically capable of doing whatever job that they are either enlisted to do or has been assigned to do within the military. \n\nIn a time where special forces doesn't mean bulked up freakishly high endurance or specific physical requirements are necessary.\nSpecial ops nowadays is also about mental acumen and ability to assess the entire picture and it is absolutely well known that certain physical factors are required to be on the front lines but to remove a very capable force that is a force multiplier in a time where it's absolutely needed and cannot be replaced quickly or even adequately is doing a massive disservice to our military and the citizens of this country just for the sake of a small group of individuals with small minds that couldn't step into that vacant position and adequately fill it with the same caliber of talent regardless of how they identify themselves!\nBeing the most lethal fighting military requires many talents and to remove those talents from the soldiers they support is absolutely hurting our military in ways that will take decades to rectify!\nThat soldier on the ground calling in drone strikes to get his or her soldiers out of the danger isn't going to care if they are trans or identify as LGBTQ only that they are able to safeguard their soldiers in whatever way they have been trained to do..\nOur military needs to be the most diverse in order to be the most lethal in the most diverse situations throughout the worlds stages!

32% of the U.S. military are minorities. 17% are female. Transgender, .7%. (2022 numbers. Best I could find.) Math says that is half of our forces. Including Puerto Ricans & Indigenous. None of Trump’s family line have ever served this country. Thank whatever you hold dear that so many who still don’t get adequate representation or respect still believe in the idea of this nation to put their lives on the line to protect it. Thank you to EVERY service member for your service. You are all truly the best.

Was all 20 years of “her” service as a transgender, if not, then her case has no ground to stand on, because its even worse for the soldiers around “her” to have to deal with that shit. No place for transgenders in the military, cause now they’re asking to be included, next they’ll be crying about their own toilettes and barracks and everything else. All soldiers left their life behind to be part of the military, and they wanna allow this. Dont care how good they are suppose to be, they are a distraction, and the military is the last place you want people distracted. They dont have so many transgender troops that it will take decades to fill their place, STOP WITH THE BS. 1 person being successful, mainly because of what they did before the transition, does not make “her” proof that its not a problem. Thats like in the middle of corona and i stand there and say “corona isnt a problem look at me, im healthy” while other people are dying. 1 person can equal proof or can equal an anomaly. Espically since most of “her” success came before the mental illness.

They take away from so many homeless Americans, especially women. Enough is enough. There are so many in this video trying to get in. Imagine what would happen if they succeeded? Not to mention the ones that are already here. I don't feel bad for them. If they stick together, they can make their Mexico a great america, too.

Mexico needs to held accountable for letting so many people into their country just to let them attempt to cross illegally into the US

Crap how many got through?

Protest in your country for change. Fight your oppressors. Asylum isn’t country hopping, it’s to be requested in first safe nation closest to you. You guys passed through many asylum options. Thank you don’t come again

Unfortunately many Americans are suffering now.

These are people just like many of our ancestors coming here. How can many of you be so heartless and uncaring about other human beings. Trump painted them all as criminals but many are hard working people for our country. Trump does this because he is racist.

People make too many babies they cant feed or support.

How many women and kids have been trafficked and MISSING? What about the 300,000 missing kids? I heard there's tunnel's in CA. I hope the find these kids????

Mexico has been doing their part pushing them back and sending some bus loads to the guatemlan border but their is to many of them venezuela needs to be held accountable

The level of entitlement of these people is only comparable to the entitlement of the domestic terrorists who illegally entered the Capitol building on January 6, 2021 and defaced it; smeared feces on its walls, brutally attacked policemen; and tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power while looking to kill elected representatives. \nIt’s is claimed that many Latin countries empty their prisons to send those people onto our streets, which is exactly what Trump did when he pardoned the January 6 terrorists!!!!

Sooo many men. Barely any women or children. It’s always this way.

there is no telling how many illegals are in america thanks to harris and biden ,,

They should look for more there are so many illegal migrants in Ontario some of them working under the table - why this happened — they should deport them

I think there is one crucial thing that need to highlight, it is about behavior. Not even in western countries but in some Asian countries, Indian already known for disrespecting to local and do not obey the rules of the country that they visit. If you ask the hotelier, driver, tour agent or even attraction/tourism spot staff they already have a signal among each other if there is tourist from India coming. In many cases, alot of provider don't accept their booking due to the previous experiences from Indian customers. \n\nSo, it is not about economic power or purchasing power but more into how Indian carry their self when they come to other people land.

Turn your asses around and go back home. As many millions of you as there are, you should be more than able to fix your own country.

Keep the Venezuelans out of America cause they have invaded many of the Caribbean countries and have wreaked havoc !!! It's a broad statement but they have made a mess !!!

All you have to do is come to CNN comments to see how many Americans had America.

Indians will invade Canada ??. No one can count Indian. So many Indian , even Chinese, Pakistanis and Bangladesh together couldn't match their numbers.??

*CNN how many billions of dollars did you lose last year* ?? It's because you report news stories like this LIES and misreporting, and fake news, and you have the most obnoxious news anchors.....we get our real news from YouTube now never from CNN anymore

Colombia has taken so many evil people and poor destitute people from Venezuela as refugees and it can’t absorb them but Colombians normally come legally to the USA and make great Americans my family in law for example are good conservative people who support Trump and I’d like to have my family in the USA all in one place especially is colombia will turn into Venezuela under a corrupt regime who has ruined everything and hurt most of the citizens idk how he won if he did even win but the USA came into Colombia before to stabilize it and it worked for a long time and there are 30,000 U.S. expats here or people with family ties or like me who happened to marry into a Colombian family. Not long ago I saw Trump with former President Duque and their wives and there was a beautiful relationship and colombia was booming in one year the USA must put back the former establishment and restabilize the mess that has been made under this communist guerrilla member and I hope saying this doesn’t bring lash back to me or my family here in Colombia. But my husband and me want to come home to the USA as soon as possible he isn’t a criminal his father is a Pastor at a small countryside church they don’t deserve this.

You can gather tens of thousands of people to illegally invade a country but you’re telling me these same folks can’t put their heads together to build themselves a town. Or to gather in front of their politicians house and clean out their corruption in their country. Or to formulate a deal with some other country’s so they can get some funding to startup opportunities in their own communities. There’s enormous value in the fact that you can have this many people gather in person the problem is nobody has the brains or intelligence to be a good leader so that the human effort isn’t wasted. Even if they were to get in the problems their facing will not be solved. The problem is that that many people are putting their heads together and the best idea they all can come up with is to invade a country risking life and limb, abduction, and SA at the hands of smugglers and cartels is crazy.

I agree, why don't they rise against their own nations as a free people and take back their countries!!! They obviouslt have desires to elevate their lives in some way, we americans had to fight for our country and it wasn't exactlt easy, these people are weak and pathetic for running away from their problems only to bring our country more problems that we can't deal with ourselves, I say we just hand them all a surplus of guns and a campaign plan to take back their own country lol, as much as I hate seeing any human suffer aside from rapists and murderers and child sex abusers, we in America have too many problems ourselves, and I was always told if you can't fix yourself, or love yourself how can you ever hope to be and good for anyone else, and that rings so true with everything, these people need to stand on their own 2 feet and fight against whatever tyranny they have and become a free people, I know if they did that someday they would probably succeed, and perhaos if they did start fighting for their freedom and trying to take back their country, we Americans might help them succeed in those endeavors some way or another...Who knows, these people need to rush their own governments and plead with them or overtake them, they can bum rush our borders I see no reason why they're not capable of doing the same in their own country, massive numbers beats out a shaggy old military and corrupt government any day everytime, yes many lives lost, but the sounds of trumpets for victort will ring out loudly on the end, and the people can finally have the lives and country they desire, we ain't it right now folks so turn back around and take all this border crossing energy to fight against your own establishments

Why don’t we send money, skills, and resources to help assist these countries with becoming better places to live…so that they stop needing to come into America! We send billions+ to aid other countries that despise America why not start with the poorer countries connected to our borders…?\n\nJust food for thought…\n\nThis is sad on sooo many levels…So much to be said…yet in the end Border control is VERY necessary.

2000 out of how many million?

Many years America suck their blood as work force so let them free soon can't find any one working on farmland

In CNN's defense, there aren't many news media groups who can keep up with the accomplishments of President Donald Trump. Trump has held more press conferences and answered more press questions in one week than Biden in the last 4 years. Trump has been to North Carolina, which still doesn't have power, water, sewer, or gas lines restored with no federal aid and California working successfully with Democrat leaders there. You can hate his policies and him and you probably hate yourself too, but he's the most accomplished hard working POTUS in US history.

Everyone read it's in 2023. Many answers/comment as this was yesterday. Always have your critical thinking, don't be so easy to fool.

Trump doesnt realise there are still many escobars in Colombia

How many taxpayer dollars did Trump pay Columbia in order to get Columbia to let the planes land?

One of the many reason white people living on the street is because when indian get a job they do everything possible to please the boss.gifts.food compliments ect to get to boss in their pocket as soon as the opportunity is there.they bring indians workers and white dont get the jobs.because the indians already bought the boss with gifts compliments and dark secrets ..open your eyes before is too late white people.. another thing indians they look friendly and inocent but they are not .they dont get alone among themselves..india.Banglades.pakistan.srilanka.they dont like each other.Do you think the would like you??

Colombia, Panama, Mexico, Canada, Denmark (and its EU partners), China and many others... the only acceptable trading partners are Russia and North Korea in Trump's mind? Good luck America.

I am so glad those countries are standing up to this bully and his fascist party. I am also glad he is putting tariffs on them which means things over here will become higher for all of us. Yes the good is going to have to suffer with those that wanted to see how it feels to have this country ran by the lawless, no morals racists people in this country. To have rapist, drunks and traitor to this country in charged. And those White people that voted for him they are going to feel it to maybe even more because he takes his money right out of their account every month and they can not stop it. They need to listen to Billy Graham sermon called Choices. Please do not never think Franklin Graham is like his father he is not he is like the father that Christ speaks about in John 8 verse 44 and all those that voted for Trump and helped spread or spreading his lies. The word called them oligarchies and Trump calls them his people but the bible calls the MAGA party, the false men and women that help spreads his lies and those that worship Trump an Idolater. All of them are from Franklin Graham to the proud boys. These so call men and women of their god have deceived many for him. Those corrupted judges or no different than the proud boys. The whole MAGA party is no different than the proud boys. These people are no different than the racists proud boys, 700 club, TBN, Jentezen Franklin, Donnie Swaggart, John Hagee, Jim Jordan, Mike Johnson, Mike Huckabee, Paula White. No different just different level in life but in God's eyes they all on the same worshipping a man. And to the rich read about the rich man that went to hell, and about the rich man that built his barn. We only make them strong they can only do what we allowed them to do. There are more good in this country than those evil people. I hear a man say you can take 100 evil people and make millions fall in line and do what they say because they fear what the evil people can do. One thing I do know for sure God and me are enough... but God and me and millions more of children we will do just fine in the next two years and more.

After less than one week in office, how many leaders of other countries has Trump managed to piss off? Stay tuned for more from the self-proclaimed anti-war prez. If he keeps this up, we'll end up being at war with half the world & with no allies.

I did not know that President Biden was deporting that many migrants.

So many wins idk how to stay composed. Folks, this is how you lead

This is a much easier fix than what’s being portrayed. We need to make the ability to become a temporary citizen easier than it is. Background checks, usable skills, and political or criminal affiliation. If it’s not possible to access, so is your entry. I support my president and my nation completely and yet I still understand that the deplorable conditions of these broken nations is something I too would want to escape from. By making it so impossible to legally enter, we’re funding the criminals who will do so illegally. \n And can we talk openly about the real issue as well? It’s time for the U.S to clean house too. Government officials taking bribes from the Cartels and making it harder for us to put safety measures in place. We have to stop being in business with these criminal elements. I get it, the money’s being used to fund our military initiatives that tax dollars can’t, like in the 80’s with Contra, but how many U.S lives have to be lost to secure a foreign policy???

United States imports many products from Colombia, including crude oil, coffee, and cut flowers. The US also exports products to Colombia, including oil, corn, and electrical equipment. \nImports\nCrude oil: Colombia is a top ten supplier of crude oil to the United States. \nCoffee: A major export of Colombia. \nCut flowers: A major export of Colombia. \nAnimal, vegetable fats and oils: A major import of the United States from Colombia. \nGlass and glassware: A major import of the United States from Colombia. \nSoaps, lubricants, waxes, candles, modeling pastes: A major import of the United States from Colombia. \nExports\nOil: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nCorn: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nElectrical equipment and parts: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nSoybean oilcake: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nSoybean oil: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nThe United States and Colombia have a trade agreement that aims to improve the investment environment, eliminate tariffs, and expand trade.

Im pretty sure there are many other Countries out there, that will be more than happy to purchase any goods if they do not have to compete with the USA purchase power. \nSooo , theres that.

I doubt that I'm the first to comment this, but anyway, .. many countries seeing and experiencing 47's wrath or even just lack of common courtesy will be tempted to test out the BRIC situation. 47 is like an international version of a schoolyard bully on steroids. It won't end well.

I've never seen so many Americans happy all at once ? this feels like a new national holiday is about to be created ?

So many people don't fundamentally understand how tariffs work. America is one of the largest consumer markets in the world with the strongest impact on the global economic scale. Every country NEEDS their goods sold to the United States and tariffs make them pay more to get there goods here giving us a cash influx. while also dramatically increasing the competitive edge for domestic companies to compete against foreign slave markets.

Trump is such an idiot!!! Coffee and other items prices will shoot through the roof ?. He is a sick man that is abnormal. I hope colombia joins the BRICS organization on trading. So trump can then jack up the tariffs to 100% as he is doing to the BRICS partners. That organization will have their own trade and currency! The dollar value is due to drop drastically due to the universal currency that they will rather use. Cuba was the latest to jump on board. Now 56 % of the population will get their traded goods through this organization. I predict Canada to be the next one to jump on board. Trumps mental disorder is isolating America, and has lost the American influence. He treats this situation as it were his business. We all know how many bankruptcies he has had! And no one around him has the balls to tell him that he is wrong! Because he hand picked them to do his malicious works. USA is failing the customer will pay the price on all these tariffs. He still hasn't brought down the prices of eggs yet, what a liar! Hold on to your seats and I hope that we can survive at least until the midterm elections so that he can be impeached! The guy is not all there!!!

OK....... SO THIS DUDE ISN'T IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOR A WEEK, AND HE'S PICKING FIGHTS WITH EVERYONE. INCLUDING SEVERAL ALLIES. I'M SURE THIS WILL HELP THOUGH RIGHT? GREAT JOB MAN, DEFINATELY A GREAT EXAMPLE FOR ALL TO SEE, REFLECTING ON MANY AMERICANS. THIS IS AWESOME. THE MOST SELFISH, IMMATURE, IDIOTIC, SELF ABSORBED, NARCISSISTIC, ARROGANT, DULL , SMALL MINDED PERSON I'VE EVER SEEN IN GOVERNMENT PERIOD. ME, AND MANY OF MY FELLOW AMERICANS ARE BESIDE OURSELVES WITH EMBARRASSMENT. NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF HIM, BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF OUR MANY WAYWARD FELLOW AMERICAN ADULT CHILDREN VOTING FOR THIS TRAIN WRECK. JUST SUPER STUPID. I MEAN, UNBELIEVABLE STUPIDITY.
