If this sounds outrageous, consider this:
According to Trump and parroted by his Trumpettes, Transgender people are apparently flocking to military service recruitment offices to get free medication and operations to transition.
They are willing to face bullets, IEDs, suicide bombers, and loss of life and limb just to get the free benefits.
The military already covers the cost of Viagra and other erectile dysfunction drugs for about ten times higher than the cost to cover transition-related surgeries and other treatments.
In 2014, the Defense Department spent a total of $84.24 million on erectile dysfunction prescriptions with $41.6 million specifically spent on Viagra. Between 2004 and 2013, service members diagnosed with erectile dysfunction doubled, which is approximately 10,000 new diagnoses each year.
The top cost of allowing Transgender people to serve would be $8.4 million.
Having a soldier’s soldier stand at attention costs ten times what it would cost for all the care that is medically necessary for Transgender troops.
When it comes to a fire-fight or any military operation, apparently the president feels it is better to have a person fighting with you who has a raging hardon than someone who went through the training to be a soldier and is there to fight.
According to press spokesperson Ms Huckabee-Sanders, a rager is part of “ what was best for the military and military cohesion.”
