Trans troops return to era of 'don't ask, don't tell' as Trump policy takes effect

SIAP. I looked back a few pages and didn't see anything. Article is salty AF. 
One surgery is too many and Viagra doesn't cause a service member to be non-deployable (aka: useless) for most of their enlistment.

The new policy bars military members who have transitioned or are openly trans from enlisting after Friday, while troops who come out as trans while serving after that day will be discharged.

In reality, trans healthcare has been a small fraction of the military’s health budget, with one analysis estimating that the military spends roughly five times as much on Viagra alone than on transition-related care for trans troops. The American Medical Association has criticized Trump’s argument, saying it misrepresents science.

Can we make the whole trans 'movement' "don't ask, don't tell?"

A tranny could never keep their mouth shut.
It’s part of the malady.

Umm... who gives a crap? Really. Why is that even something that should be considered?

For one, the military isn't a social engineering experiment; the focus should be on training and preparing to wage war on our enemies. Two, no one has the right to join simply because they want to. You have to meet mental, physical and psychological requirements. If you can't do that, tough shite, choose a different path.

Not every profession is meant for every person.
And I support gays and trans

Seems like being a man who thinks he's really a she or a woman who think she's a he or one whose sex varies from day to day would automatically cause one to fail two of the three requirements.

Citizens who are mentally ill cannot serve as it is. This policy makes zero changes.

I probably should have used intelligence instead of mental.

Exactly. Trannys are mentally ill and should not be walking the street among normal society. Anyone who wants to mutilate themselves because they believe they should have been born differently is insane. They have zero place in the military, much less a place where they can have their operations paid for while they sit on the retirement benefit clock and avoid contributing to the mission.
I just punched out of the USAF last year at 11 years. Didn't even want to sit in the reserves for 9 more years to get retirement. That's how bad I wanted out. The command climate is bad. CCs are afraid to do anything that will derail a career, so the JAG O3 that is the Chief of Mil Justice in the wing legal office pretty much dictates discipline, which is dictated by the NAF and MAJCOM legal offices. Non rated JAGs, who are vastly leftist in political leaning, control the show in the USAF. As a result, pilots punch out the minute they can and you have a service branch run by "officers" who are essentially federal bureaucrats in uniform.
The Obama years were bad. The worst kind of officers got promoted. Sycophants, arse kissers, box checkers. Nothing that normies who have never served want to think of the military as being.
Don't get me wrong, the USAF is lethal as frick, but there are no Curtis LeMays or Robin Olds in there anymore.

I'm glad I got out before the Obama years.

Hell, didn't Obama give NASA a "Muslim outreach" goal?
"Forget all that space stuff, guys, let's figure out how to be more friendly to Muslims instead."

I wouldn’t go that far in reality but I agree with the sentiments of this.
Turning our military into a fringe and quack social experiment to appease partisans and nutjobs is one of the most seditious if not outright treasonous things we’ve ever seen in American history.
The military is only supposed to be about killing and destroying who ever threatens America, and anything that undermines the morale, cohesiveness and professionalism towards that mission is something that has to be eradicated.
Anything that promotes individuality, not collectiveness, in the military has to be banned.
