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
Elon will supply robot troops for the clone war.
Might supply them for the other side.
Yikes. Not a good decision.
Would love to see him personally try to kick even one of them out of anything. Pathetic piece of shit.
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.
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.
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
Blackjack and hookers.
I mean... They've only been allowed quite recently..
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?
I hope he chokes on a Happy Meal.
The happiest meal
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
Here we go folks, welcome to the hellscape that is the new America
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.
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.
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.
How to create government jobs, while also remaining a christofascist overlord. Just like old times, eh?
Welcome to the legion, 15,000 new anons.
Maybe we’ll finally see strict gun laws, albeit aimed at disarming the opposing populous.
Ooor, we create a well regulated militia with 15,000 new soldiers!
