      Framing "no trans" policy in terms of cost is ludicrous -- associated medical expenses would be a minuscule fraction of the military budget.pic.twitter.com/CtQx4i2Gku

      Furthermore, Trump wants to massively increase military spending, and constantly screams about how vets/active duty deserve the best care.

          It's not a matter of cost: that's a pretext. It's a matter of Culture War grievance-mongering & scapegoating a vulnerable class of citizens.

          Why would they care? They pass most of that cost on to the service members. They have to pay for their uniforms.

          Pentagon routinely oppresses trans and non-trans all over the world and hardly any liberal bats an eye. See how that works Michael?

          I love how rationale for sending 4000 more troops to Afg. is "to break a stalemate in a war that has now passed to a 3rd Commander in Chief"

          Trump is watching. This is only the very beginning of his administration. He can't do it all, but will spawn a new generation of citizens.

          The point is the military is a collective w/ a mission & not meant to indulge "vulnerable citizens". They need not apply.
