Anyway, my point has always been that we should not accept suicidal people into the military, not that we shouldn't accept transgendered people - So what's the issue?
We're on the same page.
No it's clearly a fact. I want to see more research on suicidal rates pre and post op for sure though. But if your bigger point is no suicidal soldiers, then yeah, same page. The initial topic was "should Donald Trump ban transgender military", to which my answer is a loud no. Me likening you to the car insurance salesman was from the impression that you didn't want transgender in the military due to those statistics, which you've now clarified isn't what you're suggesting.
