Course they shouldn’t need it. Going by the below, only about 8% of the military over the age of 40.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/232 ... el-by-age/
What percent over 50? Maybe 2%? mas or menos. Over the age of 60 is probably only a tiny fraction of 1%..
So it should be a relatively small expense. But why not provide it? There are many drugs that older adults need.
If abortions aren’t necessary then getting it up isn’t necessary. Only a misogynist would think that erectile disfunction should be covered but abortions shouldn’t be.

Thought I just read the DOD spends $41 million on Viagra. Just glanced, so could be wrong.

I agree neither should be covered. Neither should sex change surgery, either.

Depends whether you consider $41 million a small expense.

Out of an almost 900 billion dollar budget? Yes.

I’m sure the pharmaceutical companies are pleased about though.

Maybe he should go back to it. He was a decent coach but he’s a shitty legislator.

Even worse. $41 million for military members that are supposed to be under a certain BMI and passing a physical fitness exam. Not your typical demographic that needs Viagra.

Jen Psaki: Tuberville, Cruz more concerned about a ‘cartoon map in a movie’ than confirming military promotions
No military leader out there is going to tell you they’re more worried about a cartoon map in a movie about a doll than about having qualified members of the military in a position to lead their troops,” Psaki said.

I think he would find recruiting elite athletes more difficult now that he's been exposed - but it might be different in Alabama.

No, it must skew towards older donk males because of their higher bodyfat (you know working out is racist) and lower testosterone levels..

If we are talking military, then supposedly a group of people that can pass military physical fitness tests and is moderately active.

I realize DOD is bigger than that, but that who BDKJMU and I were discussing.
