#1 I think the DM author included the phrase: Pentagon's division chief for requirements integration only because it sounded woke. I looked and the position is only about the integration of the other Services w/ Space Force.

#3 Entering the military is like entering a monastery system. You give up several things to join. As long as you are in the monastery you conform to its requirements in behavior and decorum. The monastery doesn't conform to yours.

#4 ... posting photos of her fellow transgender troops on Instagram listing their accomplishment with the tagline: 'Happens to Be Trans.'

Ain't no "happening" about it, you decided it. Essence precedes existence despite what you have been told.

Copilot sez... "Essence precedes existence" is a phrase from classic metaphysics that means the "essence" or "nature" of a thing exists in the mind of the creator before the actual thing exists in the world. In existentialism, the phrase "existence precedes essence" means that humans do not have a nature that determines their modes of being and acting, but rather, those modes are simply possibilities from which they may choose and on the basis of which they can project themselves

and thus "gender is a social construct" to existentialists. Such thinking influenced at least one nominee to SCOTUS to such a degree she did not think herself qualified to give a definition of a woman in a Senate hearing. Balderdash! Bad philosophy leads to bad policy.
