Transgender Policy Could Cost Military Billions Over Ten Years
On July 1, 2016, without any systematic study of the consequences, the Obama administration reversed
longstanding policies that excluded those who identify as transgender from serving in the U.S. military
on both psychological and medical grounds.
1. As of that date, the armed services stopped discharging existing service members who suffer from gender dysphoria (unhappiness with their biological sex at birth) or who seek gender reassignment surgery, and as of October 1, 2016, began providing medical services to aid in their “transition” to living as the opposite gender.

Doing the Right Thing the Wrong Way
The president’s announcement on not allowing transgender Americans to serve in the military is the latest example of how he sabotages his own policies.
As time goes by, it’s increasingly clear that there’s something limiting and false about the “just call balls and strikes” approach to analyzing the Trump presidency. Yes, you can praise Trump when he does right and critique him when he does wrong, but at some level that small-ball approach to evaluating Trump simply fails. He does good things, and he does bad things, but he does all things against a backdrop of impulsiveness, chaos, and divisiveness that undermines sound polices even as it does immense damage to the body politic.
Take, for example, the first version of his so-called travel ban. While I agreed with the fundamental policy goals — a slight moderation on refugee admissions, general re-evaluation of security-screening procedures, and a pause on entries from specific jihadist nations — the actual implementation was so chaotic and incompetent that it not only triggered national hysteria, it undermined public support for even relatively modest immigration reforms. Trump’s administration dropped a poorly written, poorly supported policy into the public square, interpreted it as cruelly and maliciously as possible, and has been on the defensive ever since.

Wounded Warrior Explains Transgender Ban
After the news of Trump’s transgender ban in the military, the internet unsurprisingly exploded into yet another fit of rage.
I guess the millions of people who were about to drop dead where they stood because Congress will now debate Obamacare repeal aren’t an issue anymore.
Squirrel!
J.R. Salzman is a writer, wounded warrior and a veteran who has served in Iraq and he took the time Wednesday morning to share his own thoughts on the ban and life in the military. It immediately began to go viral, with Salzman eventually telling folks not to expect any more responses to the thousands of replies he’s been receiving since he first posted.
Salzman laid out a passionate and logical defense of Trump’s ban. Do you agree with him? Disagree? Drop your thoughts in the comments section…
…and thank you Mr. Salzman for your service.
