The Department of Justice announced yesterday that the US Army's first-ever transgender

officer has been indicted for trying to provide confidential health records to someone

he believed to be a Russian agent.

And today, we're just trying to make sense of the shocking news.

Who could have possibly foreseen that a severely mentally ill man might do something unusual

and disordered?

It just doesn't add up.

A man who thinks that he is a lady got confused about which country he is supposed to be serving.

It's a regular man-bytes-dog kind of story.

That word service keeps coming back to me because while now ever since the Obama administration,

the US military has become a place of entitlement for people with all sorts of circumstances

that make them less than fit for the battlefield.

It was not always that way.

In the way back olden days of about a decade ago, the US military was an institution dedicated

to service, not to affirmative action, not to the affirmation of delusion service.

Tough guys signing up to sacrifice to protect the rest of us.

Now that dynamic has flipped, not just in the military, but throughout virtually all of

our institutions, an inversion that has already led to far greater disorder than a man in

address.

Welcome back to the show.

I'm just trying to make sense of it.
