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.
Exactly! That's why I don't see how that particular argument holds any water.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality.
