Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin said Wednesday that a potential influx of transgender veterans would not be a “major complication” for the department.

“I don’t see this as a major complication for us,” Shulkin told 77WABC radio host Rita Cosby. “I think that it’s important that veterans know that the VA is a safe place to get their care, that we value and respect the dignity of all our veterans, and we are not going to change our commitment or our mission to any veteran who chooses to get their services in the VA.”

His comment followed President Donald Trump’s Twitter announcement that transgender individuals will not be allowed to serve in the U.S. military. Shulkin remarked that he was “not aware” of Trump’s decision when he announced it, but that he is not regularly made aware of such policy changes ahead of time.

But it's kool.

The VA will get them the suicide preventative Psychiatric 'Care' they need.

Sec Shulkin will be the next disloyal to be publicly shamed on Twitter.

[Wingnut]

This is the last guy who should be talking about VA and no "complications"   What a douche canoe.


Oh..  Hope his resume is updated.

[mountaineer]

a potential influx of transgender veterans

Yeah, there must be millions of them.
 

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

Well, that's the leftist strategy.

Classic divide and conquer.

Marx's Class Warfare.

If you need a bigger base, create one, in this case by normalizing transgender.

[Bigun]

A person's sex is determined by X & Y Chromosomes. Mutilating the body, taking hormones, and pretending do not change a person's DNA.

[txradioguy]

Of course it won't be a problem. They can just wait forever to be seen at the VA just like normal vets.

Seriously why is this guy still at the VA?

The Military should screen out as many mental defects as possible before enlistment.  How we got this far with the faggoty is mind numbing.

[corbe]

   This saddens me so, I was very reluctant to click on the Thread, knowing that ALL VETS continue to be 'Not a Major Complication' to this warmed over Administrators Bureaucracy.

   Maybe it's time for another Vet-a-thon President Trump.

   Yes I'm that pi$$ed.

I'm still trying to figure out how there could ever BE an influx of transgender veterans.... when transgenders only make up .03% of the population.   What the hell?

Hey there Wingy a pearl of wisdom out of your pile of posts..

I'm like compost...sprinkle a little of me around and things grow.  Too much and you have to call hazmat.

[mountaineer]

I'm still trying to figure out how there could ever BE an influx of transgender veterans.... when transgenders only make up .03% of the population.   What the hell?

And probably an even smaller percentage of the military population.  This nation panders to the smallest possible group of misfits.

What happens when former Seal 'Kristin' Beck goes to the VA for prostate treatment?

[Suppressed]

Because it was only recently allowed. Not sure why you wouldn't expect an inflex.

Panders? Yes!

Cares about? Not in a million years.

That old gag about getting between Schumer and a camera?

This Punch & Judy compassion for transgenders has only one purpose.

And that's to be able to scowl and wag their disapproving finger at anyone who points out that it's a manufactured for political advantage Non issue.

Then they can accuse the realists of being an "-ist" guilty of yet another horrible "-ism".

[Maj. Bill Martin]

The purpose of the VA is to provide medical treatment.  The purpose of the Armed Forces is to fight and win wars.

It's safe to say this fellow knows the tranny chickens won't come home to roost until he's successfully out to pasture.

[Cripplecreek]

Yeah, there must be millions of them.
 

I see lefties claiming there have been thousands if not millions of tranny soldiers who served in WWI and WWII as well as Korea and Vietnam.

There was that famous one in MASH.  If they were on TV way back then there must have been thousands of them we didn't know about.

MASH. I seem to remember that show.

Wasn't that the one where Alan Alda put on a low rent, insipid stab at doing Groucho Marx?

And in one episode while he and his CO were hiding in a ditch from enemy small arms fire Alda broke down, had a fit, hurled his .45 over the top of the ditch and got up to make some hair tearing speech about how he was too good to shoot back at people who were trying to kill him?

That MASH?

Klinger was not a tranny.   He was faking it to get out of the Army,   and for the last few seasons of the show, he was in a regular uniform.
