In a hearing over the Defense Department's removal of transgender service members, a judge uncovered that the military spends $42 million a year on Viagra.

The judge overseeing the case against the Defense Department’s firing of transgender service members revealed that the military spends 8 times more on erectile dysfunction medication than on gender affirming care.

While discussing military spending with the Defense Department (DoD) attorney for the ongoing Talbott v Trump case, Judge Ana Reyes said the DoD spends approximately $5.2 million annually on medical care for service members with gender dysphoria.

Comparatively, the DoD spends $42 million a year on medication for service members with erectile dysfunction.

The US District Judge asked: “It’s not even a rounding error, right?”

    Those buckets of water you are carrying look awfully heavy.

    But sure, in general the people who are responsible should be punished. Also, everyone who went along with it to checks notes looks like that includes all Maga.
