I think you're the one who is confused, every Soldier, Sailor, Marine and Airman has to be world wide qualified regardless of position. I'm assuming you haven't been deployed. Who do you think works supply in the AOR? You must think all of this is done stateside. If you can't deploy you can't serve.And yes that surgery is elective, if you are implying that those claiming trans have been through a psyche eval and have some type of mental disorder and hence need surgery then it is a mental disorder which also in turn makes them not deployable.
