Why I grew to love the Donald and forgive his haters

It will get heated. Can't take it, don't open the forum.

If you read up on the topic, you will learn that estimates on trans people are difficult right now because:

- you have a trans explosion in society
- you have a military willing to pay for their surgery and hormones that they otherwise could not afford
- the long term costs per individual are unknown

These surgeries and hormones are expensive. Look it up. Also does not take a genius to realize that going into the military to get a new gender is not the best idea.

Why are we still talking about the surgeries which everyone who's been on record here about this issue agrees should not be on military dime? Who is Foo talking to?

so this is the extent of your argument. the military should not be used as a way to pay for transition.

if people have already transitioned and also meet the requirements of the military should they be allowed to serve?

I agree. No point in wasting time self-owning by watching 1-4 get butchered one by one before you get to 5. I appreciate the transparency of just going directly to 5.

cool. trump's decision denies them that, as i understand it to be. even soldiers who were already serving are cast out because of his decision, correct?

"Here" = HMF. :P

And you know the American people are just as likely to see legislation 80% of us hate forced on us as legislation 80% of us love so it's a moot point in that regard anyway.

Guys, Trump's tweet means jack shit at this point anyway. We'll see how this all actually shakes out.

That graphic is taken from a Facebook post, yeah. I don't have a Facebook though. And I certainly wouldn't be that popular if you mean likes/shares/etc for stats.

Ok, I will, lol. IDF is pretty badass, BTW. Of course their military isn't the size of ours.

That list of five accusations qualify as actual statistics on facebook. That is what a shit platform it is.
