(Worthy News) - This Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote on the Make America Secure Appropriations Act. There are billions of dollars in that act for the Defense Department. But it comes at the same time the military has been told it needs to do sex change surgeries and provide hormone therapies for transgenders.
The Family Research Council (FRC) estimates those surgeries and hormones could cost up to $3.7 BILLION in the next 10 years. Some lawmakers tried this month to kill any funding for such surgeries and treatments in the military, but 23 Republicans joined House Democrats to defeat the move.
Former Army special forces commander Jerry Boykin, FRC's executive vice president, told CBN News he has a message for those 23 GOP lawmakers. [ Source:CBN News (Read More...) ]

Funding sex Change operations for our military is ridiculous. Next we will find cosmetic surgeries to enhance well-being. Does private health care pay for sex change operations? I served 21 years and trust me on this, there are a lot of other ways those serving now need that money spent. Pandering to less than one percent of any group is a bad idea. Regardless of political fallout. How many weeks would a person receiving the operations be on limited duty? How many times would that. Cause someone who has already deployed have to quickly deploy again?
Shouldn't pay for any of this insanity! Give that money to vets instead!
Oh, I was so happy yesterday.
