The military is stressful enough it's a disservice to put suicidal soldiers out there when they have non suicidal soldiers counting on them with their lives.
Well, he didn't, really. One, because him tweeting about it is not a real policy directive; and two, it is possible this isn't something he can do without Congressional backing. As of right now, all he has done is cause uncertainty and unrest in the ranks of the military with his idea of having a ban but not actually issuing a directive. So it has done harm and no good.
