The recruiting crisis in the US military is pretty bad.
The funniest example is 24M$ the national guard spent in 2012 on recruiting at nascar. This generated 24,800 prospective recruits. ~$1000 per interested recruit. Not bad. Of those, 20 were eligible to join. 99.92% unfit for service. Of those 20, all declined to join. There’s no evidence that the 88M$ spent on nascar between 2011-2013 generated a single recruit.
This is part of why the exclusion of trans folks, women and others from the military is such an own goal for the fascists. Any potential recruiting pool that’s closed hastens the decline of our imperial supremacy.
We need to remember the fact that those currently in power don’t want things to work or be fixed. They’re actively breaking everything that they can get their hands on, for their foreign dictator handlers.
How does a trans person operating in the 80% of the military that isn’t a direct combat role prevent those in direct combat roles from being lethal? Not everyone is the tip of the spear.

I’m reminded of the bit from ur-fascism about how they are incapable of evaluating the world.
They are stupid people living in an emotional fantasy.
“Unfit for service”
“Trans”
Same thing.
But yes, we need America to get healthier, both mentally and physically.
So true! Are you currently getting help from a mental health professional?
Yep, insults and no arguments, nice.
You want someone to argue with you about transphobia being wrong?
r/conservative and maga.place would be the place for you. Not here.
Nope, there are a shit ton of reasons you can be denied military service.
Flat feet, asthma, depression meds, anxiety meds, scoliosis, etc.
And there’s a good reason for all of that.
And yes, trans individuals are in the same boat.
The military isn’t about fairness or representation of any of that shit.
It’s about killing our enemies and destroying their shit as efficiently as possible while imposing our will.

Keep it coming. Ban coming soon.
For what exactly?
And why would you want to get someone banned just because you don’t agree with their opinion?
Transphobes aren’t welcome in non-fascist spaces
What argument, I’m agreeing with you.
Nope, you’re just insulting me and pretending not to be.
So how does that make you feel?
I don’t care? It just confirms what I think about the modern left.
And why it’s always comical when I see them thinking the military would support them in some conflict.
Modern left is 1980’s right wing, Overton window shifted and defenestrated true left
