He knows the trans boys and girls are too precious to be put in harms way /s
Just going to completely wreck US cybersecurity defense.
It has long been said that if all the furries and catgirls disappeared it would cause the internet to collapse overnight.
What’s a catgirl? Is there a signup for that?
No only a test and you just passed. Congrats
Cat ears and tail will be emailed to you. Congratulations recruit. Don’t ask how we know where you live :-P.
Coding socks are the new contraband.
I love/hate that I get all these references lol
It’s part of the plan. fucking traitor.
Next they’ll go after the furries and take all the navy’s data centers offline
Pfft, that shits been contracted out for years (honestly understandable, hard to have consistent network defense with a constantly rotating (deploying) workforce of active duty military)
Lots of IT still in the military also some of the “contract out” is done by reservist and is tied to their military contract. Those still in military are your tier 3 IT and admin.
They don’t exactly deploy cyber security soldiers to do combat patrols. They’re doing the same job whether they’re in D.C. or Berlin.
It’s like half and half. Some is contracted out, but there are definitely active duty service members doing cyber security work as well.
And still, we let him live.
A couple of people have tried to go back in time to kill him, but were unsuccessful.
They will always be unsuccessful in this timeline. Maybe they managed it in others.
Unsuccessful at killing him or going back in time?
Yes
I mean… They’ve only been allowed quite recently…
…no? According to SPARTA over 76% of trans people in the military have been there for at least fifteen years
Openly?
Edit: Also I don’t consider 15 years to be “that long” in this context…
No. We have been allowed defacto since 2013 and officially since 2016, but have been in the military the whole time.
The ideological score here must be worth more to Trump than the strength of America’s military, already hurting for new recruits, which says a lot and frankly scares the fuck out of me
Weakening the USA’s defenses seems to be a consistent theme with Trump.
I think this signals the beginning of a very tough era for trans people more than it does anything about national security. But we shall see
Putin’s puppet.
Elon will supply robot troops for the clone war.
Might supply them for the other side.
Both sides. Like Ford.
Merchant of death
Well, the problem is you’re thinking logically. It’s an ideological victory on both ends for him.
Conservatives view this as strengthening the military, not weakening it.
The actual strength of America’s Military doesn’t matter because they don’t have hostile nations on their borders. So when America’s Military loses some of their force projection ability it can be used to say we’re turning towards isolationist policy, which is also a win for him. (From the Putin angle and from the Conservative one)
And, again, if you point out that this move will weaken the American Military, well what are you? A terrorist who doesn’t believe they have the greatest, manliest fighting force ever seen?
Then place them in internment camps. We know where this is going you damn Nazi.
He’s already completed the first step, by making them seem inhuman and criminal
Which is ironic, because he’s the one who boasted about perving on kids
I assume that’s the plan with RFK’s “wellness camps”. Define gender dysphoria as a qualifying mental illness, and send transgender folks there to replace migrant workers who have been deported.
Here we go folks, welcome to the hellscape that is the new America
Honestly, it was a hellscape before, we just shifted down a level deeper.
They can form their own Blackwater and charge gazilion dollars to operate in the same places as they were before
You joke but that’s why they want to fuck up the military. PMCs lobby too and they’re willing to do everything in a war from flying the planes to being grunts on the line.
It’s always about turning public money into private profit.
Ahh, yes. Purging the armed forces. Nothing sinister about that. Just restoring the professional military service.
I mean outside of America we are still going to all let this happen. We are all marching straight into WW3 like the “this is fine” meme.
Should we survive as a species I look forward to 50 years from now where America adopts strong anti-facism laws like Germany has.
Question is, who is the good guy in this new world we are entering?
FWIW as a Canadian we are so fucked. America is going to come knocking for our resources soon and we won’t be able to say no.
You think with the recruiting problems we have you’d do your best to retain the people we have.
If you can get through basic and fulfill your tasks you should be able to be in the military. If the government doesn’t want to pay for “gender affirming care” that’s fine. But these people should still be allowed in the military.
Also, what kind of discharge are these people getting? Honorable, General, Dishonorable?
Elsewhere somebody said Medical, don’t have a source myself.
It said it in this article.
This is the internet, I read headlines and comment sections, not articles! /s
My immediate thought is that Klinger will be happy.
Trump’s legacy will be long term damage to national security, rampant racism and discrimination, and widespread corruption.
I was once near to (but did not interact with) Jamie Farr maybe 10 years ago. It’s really hard to see him and not picture him in a dress.
His legacy was that after the first go round.
This time it may be destroying democracy entirely.
How many times in our history are Americans going to get duped into hating people they never even interact with and know nothing about?
None of these people know trans people. These morons have just been conditioned to hate them regardless of not even knowing them. It’s pathetic. They’ve never been hurt, or even inconvenienced by a trans person. Bigot fucks.
I hope he chokes on a Happy Meal.
The happiest meal
An easy to get general discharge from the military? I think lots of people with years left to serve are going to enjoy leaving early with all of their benefits.
I have a feeling most of the benefits will be going out the door behind them shortly thereafter.
I have to hope their contractually obligated to provide them. If not I’d look forward to the class action suite but then again the judges are openly corrupt. America is a clusterf*ck right now.
Laws don’t matter to Orange Julius, I doubt contracts do either.
I hope I’m wrong for a lot of people’s sake tho.
Fun fact, when you join you waive your right to sue the military. Might be able to sue the VA or parts of the government though.
That’s not actually true. It’s just very restricted, the contracts and laws around your service make it very hard. You can’t sue for things that are legal orders and you generally can’t sue specific people. You can absolutely sue the DoD for things like breach of contract. For example if you were processed out of active duty normally, on time and everything, and then were arrested for desertion a month later you would likely have a case against the DoD. It just has to be off the wall stuff like that.
Yeah. He also wants to prevent using military healthcare for transgender care. So even if they could get VA benefits it wouldn’t help where trans people need it most.
Elon and Ramaswamy have already identified the VA as a target for cost cutting.
The VA, often criticized for consistently being over funded and helping disabled veterans live like kings. :/
Oh dude do not get me started. But it is better than what I would have without the VA.
Oh yeah, I’m glad it’s there and able to do what it can with the resources it’s given.
I’m not a veteran but like many I have friends and family who served. It never ceases to amaze me how much support republicans in general and “suckers and losers, what was in it for them” Trump republicans in particular get from the armed forces.
It would upset me, but then I remember that’s how they treat all their followers and the armed forces are just another job for the working class to fill. They practice equal opportunity contempt.
How to create government jobs, while also remaining a christofascist overlord. Just like old times, eh?
