how many people that suffer from depression are going to join the military? how many are going to make it through physicals? that's such a shallow argument. if a competent male can get the job done, why do you give a shite if he feels like a woman inside?

other than your complete disdain for a lifestyle which you find disgusting and immoral

First, IAW AR 40-501, Chapter 2, 2-27: "d. Current mood disorders including, but not limited to, major depression (296.2–3), bipolar (296.4–7), affective psychoses (296.8–9), depressive not otherwise specified (311), do not meet the standard." "(1) History of mood disorders requiring outpatient care for longer than 6 months by a physician or other mentalhealth professional (V65.40), or inpatient treatment in a hospital or residential facility does not meet the standard."

That is not the argument. But it was a good try. This is an individual who wants to act on their feelings and physically transform their body. If they do, so be it. Just do not commit the military to pay for it. Complete the process and then enlist.

Umm...If he feels like a woman inside he is mentally ill and possibly can not be relied upon in life or death situations. Why take a chance on someone with that mental weakness?

It's a needless burden and risk to place on the military, and I'll disagree in that I don't find that a shallow argument at all.

I don't know that I ever said I find transgendered people disgusting or immoral, so I'd thank you not to put words in my mouth. If you want my honest feelings on the matter, not that they are the least bit relevant to this discussion at all, it's that I pity these people as I would most who have some form of mental illness.
