President Joe Biden issued an executive order authorizing free transgender surgery for all military personnel—both active duty and retired veterans. The surgery and follow-up lifelong hormone treatments can cost as much as $200,000 per patient. Biden called his action "both necessary from an equity standpoint and an augmentation of the unity my administration is determined to impose on this country."
Press Secretary Jen Psaki rebuffed both critics' contentions that it is not the taxpayers' responsibility to fund this sort of elective surgery and questions about whether it detracts from the mission the armed forces are supposed to fulfill. "Historically, eunuchs have played a major role in military organizations in various parts of the world," she pointed out. "In fact, eunuchs were a critical factor that enabled the Turks to establish an empire that almost conquered Europe in the 1400s. So, adding a healthy dollop of transgenders to our side could make our enemies more fearful of confronting or challenging us."
"Statistics show that far more men transition to women than women to men," Psaki observed. "By generously funding sex-changes we would greatly reduce incidents of our troops raping women in war zones. This is a plus that opponents of this executive order overlook."

Cutting it off is like making scrambled eggs. It’s hard to screw up.
What’s scary is the while this is satire, it’s entirely believable that it could have come out of their mouths.
Once they make it mandatory they will succeed in their goals.
only fair all troops allowed to free body modify if one group is allowed.
I bet they would have lots of takers...
Can’t I just get the $200k?
I’m a man trapped in a man’s body. Or something.
Since this is the military AND this is a high profile political program, there are going to be quotas. And where there are quotas, statistics by unit and command are kept. That leads to competition and bragging among commanders.
Just how do you know all those “transitions” were completely voluntary?
But seriously....if a uniformed member of the Armed Forces were to request surgical and/or chemical mutilation what would be the response?
Oh, come on man! ..oops. Nevermind.
Why can Veterans have the government pay for sex changes but not get their teeth fixed ? http://www.theusmat.com/vetspages.htm
What’s funny here...is that about twenty years ago, the Air Force went nuts for a year or two about body piercings. There were a couple of airman ‘dumped’ out because they did displays in the barracks on how it was done (we aren’t talking about tongue-piercings or ear-piercings).
Soon to follow, under democrat increasingly woke policies; US troops to get mandatory transgender surgery.
Perhaps Chelsea Manning can fight the Chinese for us?
I declare, John, I don’t know how you do it. It has to be harder and harder to write satire these days, reality being what it is.
"This is my rifle
there went my gun.
I once was a man
but now that is done."
