The Pentagon confirmed Tuesday that it will pay for a soldier’s gender reassignment surgery for the first time, according to multiple reports.
Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said in a statement shared by a BuzzFeed News reporter that an active-duty military member received sex-reassignment surgery Tuesday in a private hospital.
“Because this service member had already begun a sex-reassignment course of treatment, and the treating doctor deemed this surgery medically necessary, a waiver was approved by the director of the Defense Health Agency,” White said. “The Supplemental Health Care Program will cover this surgery in accordance with the Department’s interim guidance on transgender Service members.”
NBC News, which reported the story earlier on Tuesday, said the service member is an infantry officer who identifies as female.
In August, President Trump signed a memo to bar transgender people from enlisting in the military, and to stop the military from paying for gender-reassignment surgery. He originally called for the ban on transgender troops in a series of tweets in July. A federal court partially blocked the ban last month, including the prohibition on using funds for gender reassignment surgery.
Probably gave it his royal assent.
Why haven’t the homo loving leftists been purged from the pentagon, yet??
How long does it take??
Obviously, the military is now institutionally a homo loving leftist organization. Like the boy scouts, NFL, etc. The marxist long march through American institutions is seemingly complete.
I wonder if people are ever going to notice that elections really do not matter. We are governed by elites who do what they want . . . and send us and our kids the bill.
I work in the Pentagon. I get sick seeing the celebrate faggot banners in the corridors during the LGBQTRSCWXYZ month every year. June I think it is.
What is it with the Army and delusional nutbags who think they are members of the opposite sex? There seem to be way too many of them for any relatively small organization.
Is this one really the first? Didn’t the Army pay for the odious traitor Bradley Manning’s surgery so that he could think he was turning into the girl of his dreams, a strange, non-human looking critter named Chelsea?
so one judge can bock the orders of the C in C, !!!!
So the VA can’t seem to find time to see vets but there is enough money to pay for a perverts lifestyle choice that proves they are mentally ill...........
We can’t move to the next stage of war fast enough.
me too
Mattis will say something dramatic soon, and everyone will swoon.
The Army today is infested with all sorts of weirdos, and non masculine males. it really is embarrassing to see how it has turned.
The “Pentagon” is a building! A Building for crying out loud! It was people, men in suits and uniforms, who did this-—AGAINST the will of the American People. And then they go and hide under the skirts of Dana White. Why don’t they come to the cameras like real men and just give us the middle finger as they pull the cash out of our pockets. Every person involved in this hideous decision should be exposed so we can know their names.
Fake news. “The Pentagon” isn’t paying for sh*t. The taxpayers are.
TRUMP, DONALD J
Commander in Chief

The buck stops where?
Glad I got out when the Army was still a fighting force and not a social experiment!
Sick!!!
And when will that soldier become effectively deployable?
Title needs correction:
TAXPAYERS WILL PAY FOR GENDER REASSIGNMENT: PENTAGON MAKING THE DECISION, NOT THE TAXPAYERS.
I might be mistaken but I believe that sick bass turd Bradley still has his male paraphernalia.
No. Absolutely not!
Stop paying your taxes, FReepers! Now!
How F-ed up is THIS? After the Manning stupidity? ENOUGH!
