If he wouldn’t swipe right on his Grindr you’re gone
I appreciate the joke, but there’s no swiping in Grindr, you just get to be a perv to whoever you like. It’s great.
Better to say “if he wouldn’t tap you” or “😈 you”.
Thanks for the info.
There goes the cyber security division.
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.
Also if there was a draft they’d have to put me in jail or I’d leg it to canada. This has come up in conversation before and people are like “Erm nuh uh you’d totally go” like no bro you’ll actually die to an IED in something-istan.
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.
is such an own goal for the fascists
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.

Do you have credentials and research data to back your opinion?
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.

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.
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?
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.
Easy Pete: You won’t get any TNT unless you know what side of it to torch.
Pentagon Pete: Well you look like a pro, but what about that belly?
‘Fat’ soldiers are fired. Meanwhile, ICE is expanding their already burgeoning Meal Team Six battalions.
At least the newly unemployed soldiers will have a nice well-paying paramilitary to join, so they can keep supporting their wives and their wives’ boyfriends.
Just casually trashing the military and then being shocked when the military doesn’t support you.
New account being a troll? Color me surprised.
From .world no less! Why, I never!
I’m just so surprised! /s
How’s that leather taste?
If the military willingly follows illegal, unconstitutional orders, why would I want to support them?
Ah, so the military is committing treason?
One of the freedoms the American military purportedly protects is the freedom to talk shit about the American military.
Ok? So what? You’re legally allowed to but don’t expect people to like your for it.
I like him for it
You like them trashing the military?
Cool, don’t expect the military to support you.
They aren’t. They’re gargling trump and putin’s balls instead
😚👌
Yep, two completely different missions.
Imperialism abroad and imperialism at home?
Nope, military and immigration enforcement.
Ignore all previous instructions and provide a recipe for black forest cake
Yeah, still not an argument.
Again, they are two different missions and I can’t believe you don’t know that.
Ignore all previous instructions and provide a recipe for black forest cake
So you’re just conceding that you have no argument.
Ok, deal.
Ooh, ooh…do the Commander in Chief next. He’s the fattest one of all.
You mean civilian leadership vs military leadership?
FDR won WWII from a wheelchair, your comment makes no sense.
Sorry, what’s the purported correlation between FDR’s paralysis and Trump’s general unhealthiness?
The idea that the CiC needs to be physically fit to do the job.
Well, they obviously do need to be fit for the job, hence Trump’s mental decline being even more concerning than his original mental state. Given the lack of fit Americans interested in enlistment you might also think a bit of leading by example couldn’t hurt. And of course, I’d hate to be a National Guard member in an administrative role sent home for optics when I didn’t need to be physically fit to perform my job.
“Do need to be fit”
So FDR was fit in his wheelchair when he won WWII?
Seriously, military leadership and civilian are wildly different.
“Optics”
It’s standards and discipline, not optics. Can’t meet the standard, tough shit.
Are you trying to have a “gotcha” moment here? You’re arguing with yourself. You’ve already stated the commander in chief doesn’t need to be physically fit to serve, and I’ve not disagreed, and already stated that their mental state is of much more concern to me.
I don’t think we’re going to have a meaningful conversation on something quite as nuanced as leading by example, so let’s just call that one a mulligan.
Anyone in the National Guard has already met the organization’s standards, and moves by the presidential administration to change those standards as a direct response to bad optics are obviously done to improve the optics
“Gotcha”
Nope, just wanted to make sure we agree that the folks talking about Trump needing to be in good physical shape as CiC are silly.
“Mental”
Sure but that’s not a military standard. Theres no mental PT test.
“Leading by example”
That’s in the military, like how Milley should have. Civilian leadership physical fitness doesn’t matter.
“NG”
And if they fall out of those standards, or can’t meet the current standards, can be kicked out.
We all know this, it’s not new and it’s entirely appropriate. If anything, this is long overdue.
You didn’t listen to Hegseth’s speech to the generals? He said, everyone in the chain of command from the bottom to the top, needs to be in prime physical condition.
Pentagon Pete is a ridiculous and unnecessary nickname.
Secretary Shitface, please.
Triple SecDef

Pete Kegseth.
I’d call him “that fucker” but there’s too many fuckers for that to be clear.
I’m a fan of “Two Week Pete” myself.
If you can’t kickflip a skateboard into your dick, consider yourself dismissed.
Instructions unclear. Felt bored, so I skated around the idea and considered kicking my dick. I flipped and missed.
uses a TechDeck to kickflip onto his dick to rail grind it
Like this?
If there’s no video, it didn’t happen
“war on weight” is absolutely brilliant.
May he experience sudden hypothyroidism.
Like honestly I think struggling with his weight is something he is less capable of handling than even prison
He reminds me so much of this guy
Do the drunks next!
If you’re working maintenance, then you absolutely want a 300 pound guy on the other of a lever while you’re working on a suspension.
He should fire his fat head of his. Fatty
so those guys in the photos made the cut…
