Alarming Report: Teenage Female National Guard Recruit Compelled to Shower with Individual Identifying as Female
The Culture Wars Reach Military Showers
During a Senate confirmation hearing for the new chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, South Dakota GOP Sen. Mike Rounds shared a troubling report about a young recruit in his state’s National Guard. This story should be a cause for concern among parents nationwide.
The recruit, an 18-year-old woman, was not only forced to sleep in the same quarters as men who claimed to be transitioning to women, but she also had to shower with them, completely exposed to male genitalia. This video provides a glimpse into the situation:

Sen. Rounds brought this issue to the attention of Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown, expressing the recruit’s discomfort and limited options. The recruit feared retaliation if she spoke up and had few alternatives. Sen. Rounds then posed a question to Gen. Brown, asking how he planned to address such situations that could potentially impact recruitment and morale.
Unfortunately, Gen. Brown’s response was vague and noncommittal, focusing on inclusivity without addressing the concerns raised.
This kind of evasive answer may work in a job interview, but it is unacceptable coming from military leaders. The solution is not to improve how we approach these situations; it is to prevent them from happening in the first place.
If there are valid reasons for segregating the sexes in the military, those reasons remain unchanged by a relatively new transgender ideology. Individuals who identify as transgender should not be accepted into the service if their mental state is unstable. If that answer is deemed unacceptable in today’s society, then these individuals should be placed with others of the same biological sex.
Sen. Rounds did not provide concrete evidence linking situations like this to recruitment issues, but it is a possibility worth considering. The left’s persistent promotion of a negative view of the United States in various sectors, including politics, education, media, and entertainment, has likely contributed to a decline in young people’s willingness to serve their country.
Military service is often a tradition passed down through generations, and families who value this tradition are unlikely to support policies that blur the lines between genders. By imposing leftist ideology on the military, the Biden administration risks alienating reliable recruiting bases.
Now, there are reports that young women who join the military may find themselves exposed to naked men who claim to be women. This is a situation that very few parents would want for their daughters, and it is unlikely to attract many young women to enlist.
The military’s primary goal is to protect and preserve the nation. Leftists who downplay the significance of military service need to recognize the potential consequences of their actions. In a world with increasing military threats, such as an aggressive China, the military must remain strong and focused on its mission.
As a career military officer, Gen. Brown possesses intelligence, dedication, and resourcefulness. However, these qualities alone are insufficient without the right political leadership. The fate of the military lies in the hands of the civilian government, and until Americans regain control from a misguided movement that denies the biological realities of sex, the problems of the Biden era will persist.
Conservatives must pray for the young woman described by Sen. Rounds and show compassion for the individuals who are part of her Guard recruiting class. But more importantly, action must be taken to bring about the necessary change. The culture war must be won, not just in the showers, but in all aspects of society.
