Fudge-packers didn’t last long when I was in, as no one would stand for it. So, to have females in your barracks was banned, and now they want males who think they are females to bunk with normal servicemen!
I believe the whole point of allowing gays in the military is to drive down recruits, since they won’t want to serve in the military with them. The military, at least the perception is that they are conservative, and that this move will change that, and even eventually cause a reinstatement of the draft.
