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?

It has long been said that if all the furries and catgirls disappeared it would cause the internet to collapse overnight.

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)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

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.

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!

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.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 month ago (5 children)

I have a feeling most of the benefits will be going out the door behind them shortly thereafter.

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

How to create government jobs, while also remaining a christofascist overlord. Just like old times, eh?
