It's almost a certainty that the same thing happened in WW2 except someone confused the hospital or go home or type stuff truck with the front lines truck.

He could make it so if you're currently in, and trans, you can finish your term but are barred from re-enlistment.

Or he could just let currently serving trans continue (like they did with the 50+ crowd and the APFT back in the day) until they either retired or ETS'd.

My understanding was you just needed a doctor's note. Then boom, you've only got to do 13 pushups to max your pt test.

Or he could even pretend to be halfway competent and issue an actual order the right way that has been reviewed by people who know what the gently caress they're talking about and would have seen this coming a mile away.

Instead he just unbuckled and poo poo something on to Twitter that he doesn't even vaguely begin to care about/understand but wants his mouth breathing-fuckstick MAGAwarrior base to get all fired up about.

You needed a psychological diagnosis, command sponsorship, to be completely stable in your new gender, and then final signoff by one of 3 general officers in the whole drat Army in order to get a DEERS change. Until that your transgender status is unofficial.

That's why as of a couple months ago there were 27 officially trans people in a force of over 1 million army members.

So if that transgender ban actually happens, in order to fulfill his "they're expensive" bullshit would they all have to be kicked out with an OTH discharge so as to not receive those sweet expensive coveted VA benefits?

I would imagine there'd be some kind of agreement to grandfather them, let them complete their enlistment, or be discharged honorably.

I don't know of anyone who'd want to take away VA benefits.

Well, nobody seems to want to kick them out either, except for Trump. If his whole bullshit reasoning is cost, wouldn't he presumably want to take away VA benefits as well?
