Uh, yeah. And 1 in every 1 person at the NY Times is a moonbat…

Having won its battles on gays in the military and women in combat, and despite being engaged in heavy fighting in its attempt to rid the military of sexual assault, the New York Times editorial page opened another front on the military this morning, calling on the Department of Defense to allow transgendered individuals to serve openly. In its piece, the Times made the surprising claim that approximately 15,000 “now serving” in the military are closeted transgenders.
This statistic—which has been widely repeated by other news organizations citing the Times as their source—is surprising because, as of March, there are only 1,366,194 people on active duty military service in total. That would mean that, according to the Times, more than one percent, or more than one in every one hundred active duty military members, is transgendered. Including the numbers of those serving in the National Guard and the Reserves in the calculations, the ratio would drop to approximately one in two hundred, which would still likely be a revelation to those servicemen currently living in close quarters in their barracks, tents, and ships. To consider the surprising aspect of the number in a different way: 15,000 transgendered individuals would be enough personnel to form their own stand-alone infantry division.
