What studies?
Quote:If this was not transgendered people and was just any other sitaution that causes rampant suicide at a 40% clip we would all be in agreement to not allow those people.
Um, if they committed suicide they couldn't have taken the survey, genius. If they completed the survey then they were too alive to have committed suicide.
The vast majority of service members who successfully commit suicide are heterosexual and are not transgender, yet "we" (still laughing at that) let heterosexuals in because they qualify IAW AR 40-501.
That really is all there is to this issue. People far more knowledgeable and experienced than you have determined the medical disqualifications. Your concerns are not disqualifying. Period. It's written down in black and white in AR 40-501.
So no matter how many times you mention that 40% statistic it doesn't matter according to the AR unless it applies to the individual. Which means the 40% who had attempted suicide would be disqualified while the other 60% wouldn't be disqualified for something the other 40% did in their past. I didn't think it was that difficult to understand.
