Exactly, Jim. This may be the silliest 'ban' of all. There's little question that the military has been the channel for many bad and goofy and risk-taking and rather shifty and 'useless' young (mostly) boys in need of many things to help resolve their "issues". Transgender folks are only a small part of a very motley crew. 


Military training is hard and very focused on developing strong survival skills and single-minded unit loyalty. It "works" for many of them. With some of our former military posters we can see that it didn't really take or only took long enough to get them through their service. That's okay, for what it's worth, but doesn't mean they are the only voices to be listened to.
