I can still remember a time when having braces disqualified you from worldwide deployment
It seems to me all they need to do is make the use of drugs like steroids and hormones as much a disqualifier as antidepressants and adhd meds
And refuse to cover sex change elective surgery
Other elective procedures are already off the list of covered procedures
If you render yourself unfit for worldwide deployment - out you go
The military is no place for social engineering.
The LBGTXYZ crowd has read the abbreviated version of the rules that says you’ll have to be “deployable”. Well in a sane person’s mind if you’re having an heart operation or any other medical procedure done, you’re not deployable and ready to go and fight a war. The LBGTXYZ crowd is saying “transgender” surgery, to include an operation and all kinds of recovery, to include drugs you have to be on for the rest of your life, is no different than someone having a gall stone operation or any other kind of operation and when these people are well enough to deploy they do just that. The LBGTXYZ crowd is tone deaf to what the president has said. They say he’s discriminating against them because they need to have time to “transition” and the military should do whatever they need to see their “transition” goes smoothly before they’re deployed. In other words Donald Trump does not exist and the Supreme Court will have the final say. Where they’ll rule that yes indeed the president does have the say about who can be in the military and who can. He’s the Commander in Chief. They would’t take my brother because he was born with diabetes.
