The U.S. government will, beginning this week, pay for soldiers to undergo treatment and surgery for gender reassignment.

The policy, which was first announced in June, applies to active duty soldiers who have received approval for gender reassignment from a military physician and from their commanding officers, according to the Department of Defense.

The military health program will cover therapy and hormone treatments along with surgery for approved service members diagnosed with gender dysphoria. The policy does not yet extend to military dependents.

I don’t have a problem with this - as long as all these demented perverts are ONLY assigned to walk the ‘point’ in enemy minefields...

Go, Trump, GO!

God knows how many freaks will join the military only for the purpose of getting an penectomy or an addadicktome.

Meanwhile, troops honorably wounded in combat with America’s foes die for lack of attention from the VA.

Someone with the access to get the names correct, needs to be keeping track of any and everyone that had anything to do with this from bottom to top of the chain o’ command.

There’s going to be an accounting eventually. I’d prefer it if the proper heads rolled, rather than the usual sacrificial goats.

I need it and they would not write a perscription for it. They would only give out the pills a few at a time.

So they're going to spend our money to make fighting men less capable of fighting by giving them regular estrogen shots and breast implants.

Wouldn't be the first time our government spent our money to make things worse.

Maybe the testosterone treatments they give to women will make those women better fighting machines, but not as good as men.

Besides, women, however dykish, should not be in combat.

Period.

What kind of commanding officer would approve this insanity? I've heard an E7/E8 or two threaten to rip some dopey junior guy's balls off, often with some justice underlying the threat, but to do it purely because of mental illness makes no sense.

Thank you for referencing that article CMS. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Government Corrupt Congress to pay for gender reassignment surgery for military members"

There ! Fixed it.

Patriots are reminded that the Constitution uniquely gives Congress the main responsibility for deciding how taxpayer dollars are spent whether Congress wants to take responsibility or not.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 7: No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.

Remember in November !

Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody..

Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
