This doesn’t appear to be about policy—it looks like pure prejudice. One key point: Trump has shown repeated interest in reshaping the military with only loyalists. Banning trans people fits that pattern, not because of readiness or cost, but because they’re less likely to pledge blind loyalty to him personally. It’s part of a broader authoritarian playbook—gradual control, step by step, aiming for a Putin-style grip. He believes controlling the military could help him hold onto power.

Unfortunately he's not wrong.

Putin, like many dictatorship purposely weakens thier military so they can enact uprising against them.

*can’t
But have a strong, brutal, militarized police force and an easily manipulated ( by those with money) legal system.

Waste of 1000 troops
That's money we're not getting back
It's expensive to train troops
America lost 1,000 troops today, self-inflicted loss

Using medical data to identify and target Americans.
A big fat ugly check ✅

They're doing it to trans people and autistic people. This is dangerous stuff. It's time to fight the Nazis again.

Any transgender person not grateful to be discharged from the military of a fascist government is deeply confused.
-
It will be a “dishonorable” discharge, meaning no VA benefits, no pension.

Oh shit, yo trans peeps getting chopped from the military - assemble into a modernized and trans version of the Sacred Band of Thebes?! We could use a well regulated militia to mop up some Agent Orange right about now...
Edit: THE SACRED BAND OF T's!!
-
after trans and it will be every other lgbtq+, and many of them are in the closet still.

-
and give others 30 days to self-identify,
Bro's too wasted to realize how many active service members want an out with an honorable discharge on any given day...
Almost always the junior enlisted who just signed up to pay for college and VA home loan.
That's not even the ones who just hate trump specifically and take the out as a protest thing.
Literally everyone I knew on a first contract would have put their hand up for this shit.

E-3s be like “we are all trans on this blessed day”

MAGAts are so insecure. Pathetic.
-
Good thing the U.S. Military is running like a well oiled machine.
Off topic: Are we done soaking the 2/F18s? They be will be shining like new.
-
all that gains from recruitment in recent years will be undone.

And another last straw today yet again! OMG will they stop?
