I'd let them in, if we block reassignment surgery from military healthcare. Good luck with that recruitment drive

The decision to allow transgenders, and openly threatening to boot anyone opposed to it is why recruitment and retention are plummeting.
The Army is scraping the bottom of the barrel to find NCOs, because everyone is getting out. Not that you know fuck all about any of this.
Hey, I feel like I'm black, the Navy now needs to give me meds, facial reconstruction and hair treatments.
While undergoing pre op, surgery and recovery my fellow sailors will have to do my job, and I may not be able to deploy with you. Also, if you dare say a word, I'm going to make sure you get an Aticle 15.
I didn't say article 15. Booted the fuck out is what you'll get.
I posted the promotion numbers months ago after I told you how this was being rolled out. They were explicit. They said, if a male identifies as female, and wants to stick his dick in your face in the shower, if you have a problem with that, keep it to yourself or you're out.
Predictably, soldiers decided to boot themselves. I posted the numbers. Across the board, promotion points dropped into single digits. More than a dozen MOSes went on the STAR list to promote sham shields to Sergeant without ever having been to a promotion board. Bonuses in the tens of thousands came back, without any significant troop deployments ongoing, as the Army tried to bribe soldiers to stay in. Didn't work. Retention kept plummeting.
Not long after that, I was having drinks with the brass when I learned that they were aware, and were crafting policy to block this suicidal course. This was months ago, and I shared it here. I'll see 'em again next weekend. Maybe I'll learn more.
