Because NOT doing something is so expensive.

[Rurudyne]

Ban them anyway.

And we also need to go back to pre-Clinton era Ask-Tell as well.

It’s the military, they have replacements on hand. They’re not looking to replace a specific trans soldier.

[TBP]

Where does teh media find these ridiculous studies?

[blackdog]

That's a lot of vaginal dilators and penile implants! Sheesh!

[Jim Robinson]

b/s

[ExTxMarine]

Well, by that logic, anyone who creates problems while in the military (unit cohesion, in ability to deploy because of elective surgeries, sells secrets to the enemy, you know, just your average problem child) should be kept in for as long as possible, so that the military doesn’t have to replace them!!

[CincyRichieRich]

Horse feathers.

However, if it saves one soldier or marine, then it was worth it.

I have a report that says the Left has cost Americans Trillion$ over the decades.

[blackdog]

Oh and I forgot the breast implants and removals. How much does one set of naughty bits sewn in cost these days?

[Gay State Conservative]

Dropping them is,in the long run,far cheaper than keeping them.*And* our Armed Forces are far more “mission ready” without them.

[GnuThere]

Stop the hormones and cancel any surgeries and give the active military a deadline to get out.
No way does that cancel the benefit of NOT having the military flooded by mentally ill people wanting free surgeries and hormones!

[ColdOne]

The cost of keeping moral in military up........priceless!

[Skywise]

It’s more expensive to train a soldier than pay for lifetime transgender care (and it IS lifetime)

BS

[afsnco]

Gotta listen to the dead fag...

[Leaning Right]

> Could Cost U.S.$960 Million, Report Says <

Ah, there’s that word “could” again. It could cost $960 Million, or $9 Million, or $9. Then again, it could save $960 Million.

I wish I could get a job writing these kinds of reports. I think it would be fun.

[ColdOne]

Does it say anywhere in this article the cost of making someone into a Tran? Medications for life?

[Obadiah]

Fake cost; nonetheless, money well spent.

[central_va]

This has NOTHING to do with money. The mentally ill should not be in the military.

[Reno89519]

Why cost so much? Seems like should be near nothing to simply terminate recruitment and administratively discharge current members. Heck, even give them a year salary. With just a few thousand, that won’t add up much. And it sure is cheaper than bringing more in. Just get it done!
