The Pentagon has spent $15 million in the past five years to treat 1,892 transgender troops, including $11.5 million for psychotherapy and $3.1 million for surgeries, according to Defense Department data provided to Military.com
Of the 243 gender reassignment surgeries performed on military personnel since 2016, 50 took place between Jan. 1, 2016 and Dec. 31, 2017, and 193 occurred from Jan. 1, 2018 to Dec. 31, 2019 -- the two years after President Donald Trump announced via Twitter that he would bar transgender individuals from serving in the U.S. military.
According to the Defense Health Agency, the surgeries were performed in military health facilities and included removal of breasts or testicles, hysterectomies and labiaplasty -- creation of or reshaping the flesh around a vagina.
The total number of transgender persons serving in the armed forces across all three components -- active-duty, Reserve and National Guard -- is not known as not all likely have sought treatment.
But as of May, 1,892 military personnel have been diagnosed and treated for gender dysphoria, including 726 Army soldiers, 576 Navy sailors, 449 Air Force airmen and 141 Marines, according to DHA spokesman Peter Graves.

Treat?
Electroshock therapy?
Hey Flag Officers:
You could have saved all that money had you only employed the character screening methods you were using when I signed up in 1967!
DUHHHH
“$11.5 million for psychotherapy”
Huh? That’s a good candidate to fit the job?
That’s at least two Abrams tanks or ammo or MREs or gas or money to treat soldiers who’ve actually been wounded in battle. Where’s Patton when we need him?
This makes me sick to my stomach.
Starting to wonder what our Military is really defending.
Life in America is easy, soft and narcissistic. Our founding credo of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" has been taken to an absurd extreme. The Left uses the world's reserve currency to spend on political stupidity and social engineering. A hot war with 10,000 dead in the first month will end all gay/transgender nonsense immediately, at least in the military.
If you object to that, you are a nazi terrorist.
They’re throwing all this money away on procedures that won’t help (and actually make things worse) on people that are mentally and physically unfit to serve. They are going to either kill themselves or each other. They should be removed from the military.
Once you trans you ate no longer combat ready as you are taking meds to support your decision at taxpayer expense
For many the pursuit of happiness exists no higher than the crotch.
Transgender people suffer from a long recognized mental illness called body dysmorphia. It cannot be cured by hormones, plastic surgery or changing clothing.

Evil, evil and more evil.
