And that's complete bullshit for reasons already provided in this thread. The costs involved would be nearly nonexistent in the grand scheme of things, especially when you compare it to the healthcare already provided to troops.
And could be completely avoided if we simply said you can't transition on the country's dime. Whether or not that's right is an entirely different discussion, but that the option exists completely annihilates the claim that it was about health care costs.
