Where is the line drawn?

the line should be drawn when an extraordinarily small percentage of service members are getting expensive treatments that take them out of "combat" for months at a time.

heres a quote from another user "fight_me_mr_tusk" https://www.reddit.com/user/Fight_Me_Mr_Tusk

"No, they couldn't. There's a lot of misinfo going on in this thread. I'm a soldier who actually received the briefing first hand from someone who helped create the policy. Basically if you declare you are transgender, you'll get a plan set in place between you and a specialist. That plan is flexible, but basically states how far you'll transition, how quickly, etc. While in this process of this plan, you will be non deployable, still be the gender you previously were (however command will accommodate you a needed), and constantly be evaluated for mental health. Once transitioned to the extent of the plan, you are now given the new gender marker (and are treated exactly like that gender), are deployable again, but must continue checkups and continue taking hormones. One issue most had with this is it's a very expensive surgery/process and effectively takes a soldier "out of the fight" for 1/4 of their contract or even more. So not only does someone else need to take their place, but Tri-Care (our health care) will take a hit. Personally, I think the estimated number of transgender - especially those who would want to transition while in the service - is blown way out of proportion."

additionally, viagara and its generic forms are used to treat a lot of things that ARE combat related, for example altitude sickness. its heavily used in the airforce and navy for this reason.
