REYES: Can we agree that the greatest fighting force ... is not going to be impacted in any way by less than 1 percent of the soldiers using a different pronoun than others might want to call them?
DOJ ATTORNEY: I can't agree with that here.
REYES: Would you agree with me that if our military is negatively impacted in any kind of way that matters ... We all have a lot bigger problems than pronoun use. We have a military that is incompetent.
Any common sense rational human being knows that it doesn't.
It is pretext.
It is frankly ridiculous.
If you want to get me an officer of the U.S. military who is willing to get on the stand and say that because of pronoun usage the U.S. military is less prepared because of pronoun usage I will be the first to give you a box of cigars.
