推翻奧巴馬決定 特朗普宣佈禁止跨性別人士從軍
推翻奧巴馬決定 特朗普宣佈禁止跨性別人士從軍
[/size=5][/b]
美國總統特朗普在 twitter 宣布，與軍方及軍事專家商討後，華府決定不再接受跨性別人士出任軍中任何職位，強調美軍須專注取勝，不能受跨性別人士所需的醫療費用，以及此群體會在軍方造成的擾亂（disruption）拖累。
已公開身份的跨性別人士服役的禁令於去年，在前總統奧巴馬任內撤銷，原定今夏起接受跨性別人士報名參軍。美媒今年五月報道，現任國防部副部長 Robert Walk 曾發出備忘錄，要求軍方於本月 1 日起準備接受跨性別人士報名入伍，但國防部之後宣佈延後實施計劃。

Sex Change Surgeries Could Cost Military Billion$, as Much as a New Navy Destroyer[/size=6][/b]
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.
"This is about the readiness of our military," Boykin said. "And if we're going to take money in this year's Defense budget and it will be set aside to perform surgery for transgender people who we recruited into the military, you got your priorities wrong. So I say to these Republicans: find some courage. Think through this. Look at what the realities are here: that we will be squandering money. And do the right thing here."
That money for sex-reassignment surgery and hormones could pay for 22 F-35 fighter jets, or 116 Chinook combat helicopters, or 3,700 Tomahawk missiles, or even an entire Navy destroyer.
"Spending billions of dollars on sex-reassignment surgeries and hormones when the military has other priorities that would actually ensure its effectiveness in war and America's safety is irresponsible," stated FRC President Tony Perkins.
He warned such surgery and transgender therapy "is a distraction from the military's purpose and undermines readiness, recruitment and retention."
"America's military has been at war for 16 years. Now the military is broken. We've left equipment behind because it's been worn out after 16 years," Boykin explained. "We've got a lot of needs. We've suffered through sequestration. We've suffered through program budget cuts. Now you're telling me that we are going to squander more money for something like (sex change) surgery?"
Because of these tax dollars going for sex change surgeries in the military, FRC is asking lawmakers to oppose the Make America Secure Appropriations Act when it comes up for a vote on Tuesday.
