The ban literally makes no sense unless the people against Transgenders being in the military are admitting that they are more fragile and sensitive to these issues than places like Canada, the UK, and Israel (along with 17 other countries)...all of which allow transgenders to serve in their military's.  

The ban has nothing to do with costs, as it has been shown medical costs for other things (like Viagra) cost much more per year than the cost of things like dealing with an officer who is transgender.  We also spend ungodly amounts of money on things like defense and the military in general - more than any other country in the world by A LOT.

If anyone that is for this ban can explain to me why nearly 2 dozen other countries (all of whom we consider to be good allies with) can accept transgenders into their ranks, but we as the "world leader" are unable to, I would love to hear it.
