VA considers ending ban on transgender surgeries for disabled vets

Not not, but HELL no. There’s no wound you could ever receive in combat that would transform you from a man into a woman, or from a woman into a man, and “gender dysphoria” is a MENTAL ILLNESS. If you told me the VA would treat the mental illness, I would probably agree with that. But trying to treat “gender dysphoria” with an addadicktomy or dickectomy is NOT changing one’s gender, does NOT treat the underlying mental illness, and does NOT increase combat readiness or capability, and thus should not be something on which the federal government expends taxpayer dollars. These are ELECTIVE SURGERIES which taxpayers should not be asked or expected to pay one copper penny for.  It’s like trying to treat obesity with a free pass to the all-you-can-eat buffet.

Not to mention, this will likely push veterans with ACTUAL combat related inguries even further down the waiting list, and make healthcare for veterans an even more scarce commodity. NO.

WASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs is considering whether to end a ban on gender reassignment surgeries for disabled veterans, and it is seeking public input.

Since 1999, the VA has excluded “gender alterations” from its medical benefits package. For another two weeks, the VA is taking comments about a proposal to remove that ban for veterans who have a high enough disability rating to qualify them for comprehensive medical care from the VA. Comments are being accepted through Sept. 7.

“VA will consider the comments received and determine the appropriate response,” said VA Press Secretary Curt Cashour. “Although there is no specific time frame required for this type of consideration, VA will announce any action it takes in the Federal Register.”

The VA said it began accepting comments in response to a petition it received in May 2016 under former President Barack Obama. At the time, the Transgender American Veterans Association petitioned the VA to offer medically necessary sex reassignment surgery to treat gender dysphoria, a condition that involves a conflict between a person’s physical gender and the gender with which they identify.

A-10 vs. F-35 Flyoff Begins, Appears to be Rigged… Just Like We Thought

Is the A-10 at the point in its life that it needs to be replaced?  Yes.  Should it be replaced with something that is actually better at the mission than the airplane it is supposed to replace?  Common sense would say yes.  Corruptocrats and senior Air Force officers with a vested interest in making sure the USAF buys lots of F-35s would say no.

The Long Awaited A-10 vs. F-35 Flyoff Is Off to a Sketchy Start

The Pentagon wants to know which is the better close air support aircraft, but a government watchdog claims the testing schedule is too short and biased in favor of the F-35.

The U.S. Air Force’s eagerly anticipated flyoff between the A-10 Warthog and F-35 Joint Strike Fighter has begun. The eagerly awaited competition, which pits the two planes against one another to determine which is the better close air support platform, began last week and wraps up tomorrow, July 12th. Critics charge that the Air Force is not only hiding the exercises from the public but is also heavily skewing the testing to ensure that the new F-35 is presented in the best possible light.

Canadians STILL Coming to America

Of course Canadians are still coming to America for trade, tourism, and medical care, because they understand that life under a liberty-stealing socialist system, made worse when it’s run by an idiot like their current Prime Minister Zoolander, SUCKS. Many won’t admit it because they are like the millennial socialists who decry capitalism and call for government run everything, but use Uber instead of government regulated taxis, and use Air B&B instead of staying in a government regulated hotel. Hypocrites.
