Yet, my oldest son is banned from serving because he had a time in his life as a young teen where he suffered from depression and anxiety and had to do a couple month long stints in a mental insitution until he got himself sorted out.

I don't understand it. Not that I want any of my children serving in the military nowadays, but if it gets cleaned out and cleaned up, I might change me mind. The maddening part is, you can't serve if there's a possibility you may end up committing suicide due to struggling with depression or anxiety, yet you can serve as a transgender where the yearly suicide rate is more than double that of any other demographic except Veterans, but that's only because there's more Vets than there are trannies.

Make it make sense.
