chuds in the US military will never do something good, there's a whole thing about homeless "veterans", never saw them revolt

On the other hand, it seems like a tactical victory for communism

I hope any of them with good opsec manage to leak a whole bunch of classified information on their way out.

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

Fucky, you beat me to the punch

Yeah I support banning trans people from the US military. I also support banning cis people too

Let’s be honest, they would end up being homeless after the US military uses them to genocide the third world for a few years and then casts them aside like a used husk.

it’s also a bad sign for us generally when they don’t even want to try to convince us to do rainbow imperialism or buy things, which is where it seems to be going

I sincerely disagree. 15,000 members of the US Armed Forces do not move the needle on the US' imperial might (which ultimately is predicated on financial domination and vassals, not military prowess). 15,000 marginalized people within the armed forces, however, represented a prime tactical advantage for a revolutionary political movement. See: Aaron Bushnell.

Obviously we can talk back and forth all day long about how the US armed forces can never be truly radicalized because of their position as footsoldiers of capital, but the hard material reality is that the American left is deficient in firepower but the military is full of possible fellow travelers. Remember that the Chinese Red Army was mostly made up of Nationalist deserters. How do you expect to be successful without a significant fifth column?

"Notably, transgender persons appear twice as likely as members of the general population to serve in the military"

Past reading about this on reddit, it appears a ton of transfems enlisted in the military as an attempt to "save their masculinity" pre egg crack. No idea about trans men

AFAB trans are 3 times more likely and AMAB trans are 1.6 times as likely

Yes. But the US rate of openly trans people is like 6 out of 1000. The army is 7.5 out of 1000. So it's not a huge margin when we don't know how many stealth, closeted or eggs in either population.

Edit: I used the above figures in my maths, but it's a bit higher because the military is like 1.4million. which is just above 1% or 10 out of 1000. But the comment still stands that in the military where you can't exactly be stealth, but you were also safe to be out of the closet for a while recently, it might not be that different from actual rates.

This is an extremely good policy.

The Trans class traitors and murderers are forced to be normal civilians instead of bloodsoaked fiends and the facade of Rainbow Capitalism will start to crumble, so that anti-imperialist resistance no longer will tend to take a reactionary edge.

This would be a massive blow to pinkwashing and the PR apparatice of the Fascist American state that uses LGBTQ+ people as shields.

It’s win-win. Saves trans lives, starts to destroy Rainbow Imperialism and Pinkwashing, and forces Trans Liberals onto our side

I think its the exact opposite honestly.

We know from reports that Trump gets very easily bored and distracted by military briefings and stuff. I can't imagine him having the willingless to sit through hours of briefings every morning. Heck I'm pretty sure the Russian ICBMs got him at least a decent briefing already.

He can't escape that and its torture for him. If given the choice I'd expect him to instead focus on the easy Ws by focusing on the domestic issues first. He will try to delegate FP as much as possible and this is the real problem, things that technicaly have presidential approval but the president spent all morning on twitter.

Still every serious actual step towards WW3 involving NATO involves him dealing with stuff he doesn't care about. I doubt he wants to sit in rooms full of massive Euro lib turbo natoheads at all.

Trump overruled the Miss Universe organization to let a trans woman compete in 2012. He is a giant fucking lib but an even bigger grifter

The media want WW3, so why would they attack Trump for that when that’s the only time he “acts presidential” is when he’s ordering assassinations against Iran or military shipments to Taiwan
