A lot of what you were talking about might disqualify someone from serving based on the current standards, including the dizzying array of plastic surgery hypotheticals.

I'm not sure what they all have to do with Viagra. The overwhelming source of Viagra subscriptions are not active soldiers but veterans. In any event, Viagra is there to cure a dysfunction, just as any emergency surgery on genitalia or reconstructive surgery would be to cure dysfunction (presumably, so the person still has the option of having children). Anything else - cosmetic for any reason - is really not something the military should be paying for.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

I get that - 26/07/2017 06:12:35 PM 496 Views
I don't think that your reasoning is flawed.... - 26/07/2017 06:31:06 PM 560 Views
bottom line - 26/07/2017 06:40:36 PM 527 Views
*shrug* - 26/07/2017 07:05:17 PM 465 Views
I dare say a lot of the rhetoric is seriously over the top... - 26/07/2017 06:13:59 PM 510 Views
like I replied to Jeo, I don't see this as a betrayal of the LGBT cause - 26/07/2017 06:19:01 PM 537 Views
LGB is not the same as T. We need to stop treating it all the same. - 26/07/2017 06:58:05 PM 518 Views
No the least of which... - 26/07/2017 07:06:21 PM 543 Views
Physical mutilation is a more appropriate word. - 26/07/2017 07:07:33 PM 498 Views

John McCain is the Left's favorite RINO - 26/07/2017 08:09:41 PM 554 Views
He's not a RINO. Just built his career on being independent-minded. - 26/07/2017 09:49:32 PM 546 Views
I really don't see the independence. Where is it? - 27/07/2017 01:33:27 AM 502 Views
So which is it, is he a RINO or a faithful Republican foot soldier? - 27/07/2017 08:08:04 PM 543 Views
RINOs are a pack. - 28/07/2017 12:46:44 AM 496 Views

I tried to keep my points to the logic of excluding an 18 yr old trans person - 26/07/2017 07:16:37 PM 559 Views

You don't need to be 'straight' to fight and die for your country. You just need to shoot straight. - 27/07/2017 10:14:11 PM 499 Views
You're an idiot. *NM* - 28/07/2017 12:47:21 AM 277 Views
You also need to pass some sort of physical standards - 28/07/2017 03:52:14 AM 529 Views
So I was reading.... - 26/07/2017 09:07:11 PM 514 Views

Gender has had a non-grammatical meaning since the 1950s, and you know it. - 27/07/2017 03:05:09 AM 497 Views
And people misuse the subjunctive all the time. Your point? - 27/07/2017 04:57:19 AM 499 Views
Re: And people misuse the subjunctive all the time. Your point? - 27/07/2017 02:13:57 PM 522 Views

or liposuction or laser fat removal too. *NM* - 27/07/2017 05:06:56 PM 292 Views
Facelifts, tummy tucks, collagen implants, nose jobs... *NM* - 27/07/2017 05:09:01 PM 271 Views

Exactly. *NM* - 27/07/2017 01:26:48 PM 279 Views
Well, to the extent that it covers people with dysphoria, sure. - 27/07/2017 02:26:26 PM 478 Views
