Yes. Expensive surgery - I have wondered at the number of surgeries performed on service members and postulated if they joined the military as an avenue to have the surgery paid by us.

Hell yeah they did.

Military service is hard enough without personnel who have mental or physical issues. The gender dysphoria issue combines physical and mental affliction into a "perfect storm". I was an Infantryman (MOS 11B40) but an RPG into our APC put an end to that after 3 years, 2 of which were in the area of CanTho, Vietnam. My squad had a Black guy from Detroit who was very effeminate. He was a burden to us as he was always shrieking and crying in a firefight. I was scared too, as would be any person be, but that didn't prevent me from killing as many Dinks as possible. Anyway, long story made longer, he was KIA by the same RPG that got us all in that M113 APC. When I say "burden" I mean that we all had to look out for him -- I saw guys like that when I was in the VA hospital and I wanted to say "suck it up and be an adult", but didn't. Mental cases are definitely what you do NOT want in a critical situation.

They can't seem to handle trump is president, and nothing about that is life endangering or even threatening. Combat is far more stressful and others rely on you, can't have the snowflake meltdowns.

And to think, all of you guys could have gotten out of the Vietnam War by just having sex with that sissy!

58,193 US military members' lives could have been saved with some good ol' fashioned, all-American gay sex!

Strong believer in live and let live, but mental issues are real, so this is a sensible position.

Good...it's an unnecessary distraction. We're here to fight and win...not nip and tuck. Boy, wanna be a girl...do it on your own fucking time. I haven't seen my family for a year while deployed...I need a relief not a fucking ASTERISK or HYPHEN to relieve me.

agreed. Enough with all the bullshit. Including, sports. Play for the team on which you were born.

I don't care if they snip their dick...or stuff their muff, they should do whatever the voices in their head tell them to...and they do. I don't want the issues that come along with that next to me, unstable, with a rifle. Why should their rights Trump mine?

Good! These people have no place in the military.

^^^This

We pass Red Flag laws to seize guns from the mentally unstable yet allow the same access to them in the military?

What is this, Clown World?

Yes. Yes it is!

We ought to start a new, simplified "birther" movement.

"If at anytime a person chooses to identify with a gender they were not biologically born with, they are excluded and/or disqualified from serving in the U.S. government or military. The same applies for a service member or government employee who chooses to engage in immoral sexual conduct whether single or married. Gender confusion and immoral sexual behavior are incompatible with the good character and conduct desired and required from those who serve our country."

(The fruit of good character is far more simple than some make it out to be.)

But then faggots like my upstairs neighbor wouldn't be able to claim PTSD and get free gibs.

Psychologically traumatized people should have caregivers and doctors, not a machine gun with a license to kill.
