Will Drag Queens Cause a Nuclear War


First it was drag queens reading books to children will cause harm to children. Now it's bigger. Drag queens holding high rank in the nuclear arsenal will destroy us all.

This is the view of Republican Matt Rosendale of Montana. He has heard there are drag shows on Air Force military bases. From this he deduces there might be officers performing in drag who hold high rank. Anyone who performs in drag must be removed. It could be true these are the same officers assigned to decisions to launch nuclear. But, it doesn't stop there. An officer who performs in drag for fun at Air Base events is an officer uncertain about his own gender. Anyone unsure of his/her own gender is not of sound enough mind to hold the decision-making power in national defense. Therefore, anyone who has performed in drag must be removed from his/her position.

This presents an opportunity to discuss qualifications of people who have high level decision-making authority in defense. Should a man who dresses as a woman to amuse colleagues be disqualified? I, myself, would like to know before assigning a person life and death decision-making responsibilities if the person talks to an imaginary being and considers that being to be to hold ultimate authority over all human kind. That would be an early screening question.  But, I would want to know also if the candidate hears the all powerful being speak back. This would be especially worrisome. 

Let's compare the above two characteristics and evaluate which is of more risk to public safety. Let's say a man who performs in drag often or always thinks of himself as a she, even though she was assigned the male gender at birth. Assume secret intelligence informs her of an imminent attack on the U.S. and the only deterrent is a nuclear strike. I can't fathom how this change of mind in self identification of gender would make any different whatsoever in the decision of the person in charge of the nuclear arsenal.

In the case of the person who hears from an all powerful being, the decision maker might hear two different directives, one from the almighty and another from intelligence staff. If they were exactly the opposite decisions, which one would the person go with? 

Representative Resendale of Montana refers to himself and a "Roman Catholic." His hatred of men in drag makes me wonder if he himself should perhaps not be making decisions that are related to national defense. It would be better for our national security if he would resign his House Seat.
