Oh no please don’t send highly trained members of our military home where they can protect and train their fellow Americans!
Looks like well-regulated militias are back on the menu
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.
Are there actually 15K trans soldiers in the army, or is this just another number that he pulled out of his ass?
Transgender people are significantly more likely to serve in the US military than the general US population.[178][179] According to 2014 estimates from the Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law and Public Policy, despite the ban on military service, about 21.4% of the total transgender population in the US is estimated to have served in the military. In May 2014, an estimated 15,500 transgender individuals served on active duty or in the Guard or Reserve forces.[22] Wikipedia
So it’s a real number he just thinks military=army like the fake loser he is.
Apparently I vastly underestimated how many people are in the US military in general.

That also surprises me.
Good… We’ll need them for the resistance
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.
I mean I support reducing the army. Can we kick out all cis men next?
Only if the base assumption is that they’re all gay, and they only get kicked out if they tell us they’re straight, otherwise we aren’t asking.
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.
It would be a good move for Biden to offer them honorable discharges now… it’ll be better than what they’ll get if they wait.
He won’t because he doesn’t care.
Indeed, I’m surprised he doesn’t do it first to show the “moderate republicans” that he’s on their side.
That’s a lot of hard to replace talent. I don’t think anyone I’m the military will let him go through with this. How anyone can support this mong is beyond me.
He’s already working on purging military leadership so only Trump loyalists are left. If he orders a purge of trans people it will happen. Everyone saying “he can’t really do this” is still in living in hopeful dreams. Reality is that Trump will be in charge and surrounded by fanatical loyalists running all branches of government and the military. The dangers for his chosen scapegoats are real.
Not something anyone can stop if he chooses to go through with it. He is the commander of the armed forces. He can make sweeping policies like this that fuck up everything.
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.
100 % doubt this happens… Oh the fear porn.
He did it during his first administration. I was planning on joining the Navy and becoming a doctor at the time.
It’ll happen. Three minutes later, they’ll discover what a bad idea it is to kick people out of the army in the middle of a recruiting shortage. Nothing will be learned and they’ll skip along to the next bad idea.
Why do you think it won’t happen?
He’s enjoyed thirty years of relative peace and serenity in a country that doesn’t usually bomb itself that often.
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
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?
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
Elon will supply robot troops for the clone war.
Might supply them for the other side.
Both sides. Like Ford.
Merchant of death
Just going to completely wreck US cybersecurity defense.
Next they’ll go after the furries and take all the navy’s data centers offline
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.
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)
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.
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.
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.
