US president Donald Trump has announced on Wednesday that the transgender people will not be allowed to serve in the military of the United States anymore. The decision received a lot of criticism from various people. It looks like the ban will be implemented as soon as possible, but the Whitehouse is yet to make sure how to do it.
What do we know so far?
When asked about the implementation of the decision the spokeswomen Sarah Sanders said that the administrators are yet to figure out the exact procedure. However, they will be helping Pentagon to decide for the execution of the process.
It is estimated that currently, some transgender people are working in the US military and it is not clear what impact this decision will have on those members of the military.
Why the US don't want to hire any transgender military personnel
According to the Donald Trump's tweet on Wednesday, it is evident that the United States Of America will not accept any transgender personnel in the military anymore. As stated by the President, the inclusion of transgender people would increase the burden on the military team of the U.S.A. At the same time, there will be an unnecessary increment in the medical budget of the military considered unacceptable.
US military is one of the strongest armies in the world.
They are second to none in any of their military departments. Therefore, it is understandable that the U.S.A wants their military to be at full strength. At the same time, they will look forward to cutting some unnecessary costs. Many political experts think the step will increase the strength of the military. On the other hand, the decision has received some criticism from some political parties.
The media also asked the administrators about the expenses which can be saved due to the introduction of this ban. The administrators and the spokeswomen Sarah Sanders were clear about the budget. They said that currently, they have to pay extra 42 million US dollars due to the transgender personnel present in the army. The government is thinking that this extra expense can be reduced and it can be used for other purposes.
At the same time, many experts believe the transgender soldiers are kind of inefficient compared to the other personnel. Therefore, the most challenging thing right now is the execution of the decision. However, some more than efficient teams are present in the Whitehouse. So the decision expected to be implemented very soon.
