I'm not generalizing but stating a statistically fact. They have alot higher rates of suicide compared to regular people. They also have rates of mental issues stemming from their dysphoria. You're welcome to counter to me on that without feelz.
They were allowed in because they were trans, not because they were qualified per se. A regular person who has their level of mental health issues wouldn't be allowed in. Isn't that how identity politics work? They're likely not many at all in the military given the time frame between obama telling the pentagon to let them to when they have to fully implement the change which around now.
They're simply not fit to be in the miliary where pragmatism, unit cohesiveness and efficiency matter. It has to function as a well oiled machine to serve it's intended function. The US military is not like some of Europe's militaries where they're a token force that's suffering from atrophy not because there's peace but because someone else is defending/furthering their interests for them.

Can you provide some links or proof of some kind to backup the part I bolded?

Condsidering how recently they were allowed in, there's no studies on anything close I could use but to find out, there would have to an internal investigation of some kind to find out.
The reason why I said that though is because it's being done in businesses to some extent. Some companies hire people based on their identity rather than their qualifications. So I could see the same with the military if their bosses told them they need to let in more trans people. The military has been known to lighten entry requirements based on their needs like being at war or a republican is in office. So it's not outlandish for me to say that happened to some extent. i would like to see studies done with trans and the military so there's more data on it so we could settle this sort of stuff once and for all.
