    Look this probably is going to be an unpopular opinion, and I know this is part of a wider attack on trans people which is obviously fucked, but the world would be a better place if literally nobody was in the US military. We mock Israel for their army of idpol genocidaires.

    Maybe if we’re lucky he’ll kick women out next, which will eliminate a quarter of their troops. It was basically only allowing women into the military that has saved the all-volunteer US armed forces from the absolute collapse in recruitment.

    Edit: reading the other comments turns out this is a cold and popular take. Thank you my echo chamber friends

      It’s very funny when chuds complain about women in the military when you’re 100% right about them never reaching targets with just men and it was a practical solution to shore up the power of empire without offering higher pay and shit.

      Cuz it turns out it’s a tough sell to ruin your knees and be scared of fireworks till you die for a college scholarship and you couldn’t save as much pay as you initially planned because you had to live off post because there’s black mold in the barracks and a whole host of other shit

      So, dear chuds, by all means do whatever reforms you want that will ultimately make the military perform worse
