Correction: it is always Krazy's fault. For everything. Ever.
I'm still unsure about the motivation of the transgender ban?

I think the problem was people coming into the military and then asking taxpayers to cover their sex reassignment surgeries, hormones, psychological counseling, and all that stuff.
Very distracting from protecting the nation.
that's the problem, but the leftwingers who love for "free things from government/tax payers" don't want to admit that is a huge problem
Shamrock talks about combat readiness but fails to take into account troop morale and trust among each other. Do you really think the common testosterone driven infantrymen is going to openly accept a Transgender? Hell hang out with any grunt or common soldiers and their buddies and you will hear some real homophobic comments. Stuff so crude and insulting it would make some here heads explode. And these are comments between friends about friends. Imagine a single Transgender person in a group of 50 guys all basically of the same mind set.

Yep, fooled them all.
Or maybe just hoping to get their junk shot off so they have to be reassigned?
WASHINGTON -— Army Pvt. Chelsea Manning has been assured she will receive gender reassignment surgery while in prison, her lawyer said late Tuesday.
Manning, convicted in the massive leak of national security secrets that propelled WikiLeaks to prominence, is serving a 35-year sentence at the Army's prison at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan. She is eligible for parole in about six years.
Manning ended a hunger strike begun last week after receiving assurances that the government would provide the surgery, said Chase Strangio, her lawyer and an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union. Manning's doctors recommended in April that she have the male-to-female surgery, Strangio said.

To Trumps very pedestrian mind, this ban is all about placating his proverbial “base” .
In this case, the base would be the religious fanatics, led by his VP.
Trump fashions himself a practical politician therefore he is merely giving raw meat to his very base, base.
