Government to pay for gender reassignment surgery for military members
Atlanta Journal Constitution ^ | 3 OCT 2016 | Debbie Lord

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.

Government to pay for gender reassignment surgery for military members

The government needs to pay for "gender reassignment" surgery for all the ball-less wonders that signed off on this.

The either don't have, or aren't using their balls anyway.

HOW long does it take from beginning to end? By the time he/she is ready to return the enlistment is up.

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.

Yes. Everyone that didn't tell Obama to go F*** himself needs to lose their career, and hopefully be prosecuted.

The military needs to be weeded of these gutless p*ssies who put their own interests ahead of that of the service. The message needs to be sent that if you will not risk your career to defend the interests of the service, you need to be made into an example.

The Military must be weeded.

All the fighting men have already been purged. If we purge all the gutless p*ssies, we won’t have a military.

From what i've read it takes years, but even when years are spent, some of these mental cases still look and act like men dressed as women.

It is a mental issue, (a specific type of body dysmorphic disorder) and it never gets resolved. So to answer your question, it never has an "end".

A completely elective form of mutilating surgery covered while vets die in waiting lines.

Gov’t money to change men into “women” and meanwhile, Fed.gov is $20 Trillion in debt and its rising fast. And let’s not even mention off-the-books liabilities.

Do you believe reform is possible? I don’t. The US Federal Government deserves bankruptcy. A sensible political position now would be to FORCE Fed.gov into bankruptcy, while we still have some recognition of the Constitution as the law of the land and some semblance remaining of State and Local government.

So, are they also going to pay for face lifts, boob jobs and all the other purely cosmetic surgery?

Yep, gays and gender benders are all the army will have after awhile. Don’t plan on winning any wars.

The US Military has officially endorsed Mental Illness as a healthy psychological profile for Service members. Orwell was right.

Just more of Hussein Obama’s fast-track on his thrust to
destroy America. He better hurry; his time is short.

Give ‘em a boxcutter or x-acto knife, alcohol for anesthetic and disinfectant, and a blowtorch for cauterizing, and tell them to DIY.

Objective achieved without firing a shot. Can you imagine how many psycho cases are begging to get in now for the free sex change then subsequent discharge?

BTW if you have an "offensive" tattoo you must have it removed at your own expense or you will not be allowed to enlist.

“Transgenderism” is a disorder, meaning that such people are not eligible for service.
