Current Events > It's OFFICIAL!!. 15,000 Transgender Soldiers will be KICKED OUT in SIX MONTHS!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's Official, a month after Trump announced the ban on transgender people serving in the military, he has now given a memo to Jim Mattis 6 MONTHS to BOOT 15,000 service members out!!

The 2 and a half page says he must consider a service members "deployability" when deciding whether to eject them from the military.

That means if they are unable to serve in a war zone or take part in a training or serve on a ship for months, then they must go.

It doesn't spell out exactly how the criteria is assessed but it seems likely that the implication in the memo that transgender people are non-deployable and deemed cut from the military.

This ban has been met by resistance from transgender representatives as Sue Fulton, president of Sparta said "Transgender people are just as deployable as other servie members. Other service members may undergo procedures when they are at home base, just as other service members shoulder surgery or gall bladder surgery"

A study shows there are between 1300-600 trans soldiers openly serving ith another 7000 on active duty and 11,000 across all areas of military.

Not all of them seek treatment but those that have had treatment would render them non-deployable.

This new memo is the first attempt by the government to provide guidance on how to handle current transgender soldiers as Trump said their military should focus on decisive and overwhelming victory and can't be burdended by transgender people with their "tremendous" medical costs and disruption.

The cost of treatment for them would be 2.4-8.4 mmillion, or 0.04-0.13% of the total military budget

The ban has been met with overwhelming opposition as 58% of the american public oppose this and a slap in the face to the LGBTQ who said Trump would be on their side on this issue.

This also proves that one transgender soldier was told to CHANGE BACK to their born gender if they want to keep their job as well..

Do you think kicking out these 15,000 people will be good for the US military?

I'm not sure what genitalia has to do with shooting people.

Transgenderism has nothing to do with genitalia bigot.

Well he's running out of people to fire. Maybe this will keep him satisfied for a few weeks.

Does the army hate depressed people since they too aren't allowed in the military?

hmm

Lets remember how many medical conditions the military rejects people for.

Nothing really to see here.

Has there any been any evidence of a trans soldier going awol?

Isn't it unfair to act like Trump is against the rest of LGB just because he took out the T from serving in the military? I mean they're not the same are they?
---

I didn't even think there would be that many to be honest.

So Trump and only Trump hates people with depression, mild asthma, or diabetes and a variety of other illnesses that aren't allowed in the military. Right?

Like holy fucking shit. Trump does a lot of bad things, but you guys sound dumber than he does with shit like this. No they weren't kicked out merely because they wanted to be called one pronoun over another. Get over yourselves.

Unprecedented and awful.

They're already enlisted.

This should be treated as a breach of contract IMO and mass compensation should be had at the absolute least.

Hilarious you and Mal are so far up trumps ass you can't differentiate between someone trying to sign up and someone who's already in the fucking military.

What if they don't have homes? What if they have loans they took out because they were being paid a certain amount for the next x years.

This is a breach of contract. You don't get to just change the terms of enlistment after you agreed to them. Get your head out of your ass and come to that conclusion yourself.

Come the fuck on. Do you just automatically assume anyone who remotely agrees with Trump is "up Trump's ass"? Because I'm not sure how far into my post history you can look, but I sure as hell have said a LOT of things against Trump. Trump especially lost a lot of points for me when he didn't denounce the white supremacists, but that's another story. My POV has NOTHING to do with Trump. It's the fact that he made this decision because of legitimate issues that have been proven to be linked to these kinds of people.

I do think there should be some sort of compensation or something, but it's not Trump's fault that they were allowed in their condition to begin with.

But again, piss the fuck right off with trying to call me a Trump fanboy. Are you seriously that much of a liberal drone that anyone who isn't pandering to every snowflake that I must be a Nazi-Trump Supporter? That logic is beyond abysmal.

I also love how you link me to Mal of all people when 99% of my responses to his posts are me calling him out on his bullshit in doing damage control for Trump.

Isn't it commonly agreed upon that it's a mental illness? Not in a mean spirited pejorative sense but in like an actual scientific sense? They don't let people with mental illnesses serve in the military.

I can't believe Jared and Ivanka didn't talk him out of this.

I mean, I don't doubt you. I still don't get how you can see this as anything but a breach of contract.

"Not trumps fault they were let in". Agreed, he wasn't part of it at all. Still doesn't mean he should be allowed to breach a contract just because he feels like it now.

That sets a horrible precedent. I don't know how anyone can agree with his decision unless they're a supporter of him.

You might not be though, I'll never know because you said nothing else but "I'm not a trump supporter" in your post. For the record, I tell people I'm not left or right all the time. I don't make that my whole post though.

Yes. I don't mind that part though, if they really wanna implement it just don't let new ones sign up.

I don't know how I feel about that but that's a different discussion. This is kicking people out who have invested and could very well be reliant on the promise that if they gave everything up they would have a job for x amount of years.

>40% suicide rate

Yeah, we should totally send these guys into war.

It's OFFICIAL!! Republicans are about to lose another Supreme Court case.

Holy shit 15000? That's a lot of people in the military.

Hopefully they get honorable discharged.
