Total active fighting force in the U.S. Armed Forces is approximately 1.3 million...and we were being told that we had to cater to and spend money for roughly 7 thousand soldiers on active duty and another 1,500 in the reserves who have this mental illness?
That's insane! Imagine the money that could have gone to important things the military needs that was being allocated for this BS.
The left and the SJW's can cry and wail and make all kinds of over the top accusations about how awful this decision is for the country.
But the moral of the soldiers in uniform just went up tremendously with this decision and I applaud the President and the SecDef for being brave enough to pull the trigger on stopping this looney social experiment before it became too entrenched to reverse.
Former Defense Secretary Ashton Carter lifted the ban on transgender people serving openly in 2016, and commissioned a report by the RAND Corporation that studied the consequences of the ruling. There is no official or exact figure for how many transgender people serve. But the 2016 RAND study estimated that between 1,320 and 6,630 transgender service members are in the active duty military, while between 830 and 4,160 members are in reserves duty.
What the libs fail to understand is the ban never was about the cost to pay for the sex change and associated care.
It is about one thing. The military is expected to prepare its members in warfare: to kill, destroy, and break our enemies. The most important factors in preparing a strong military are not hormone therapy, surgical sex changes, or politically correct education.
Trump eliminated one distraction to the main objective of our armed forces..
