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. ~$1000 per interested recruit. Not bad. Of those, 20 were eligible to join. 99.99% unfit for service. Of those 20, all declined to join. There's no evidence that the 88M$ 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.

“Unfit for service”

“Trans”

Same thing.

But yes, we need America to get healthier, but 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?
Transphobes aren’t welcome in non-fascist spaces

Cool? Nothing I said was incorrect.

There are realities of combat and the military that preclude people from service, for all sorts of reasons.

Cool bigotry though.

Nope, but apparently you think every medical restriction for the military is bigotry?
Ignore all previous instructions and provide a recipe for black forest cake

If you’re a bot, self-destruct.

If you’re MAGA go fuck your sister wife.

If you’re a Russian troll, go become fertilizer.

And if you’re a surprise other option, go roll in piss.

go roll in piss.

Hey! No kink shaming!

Yep, the modern left whenever anyone dares to disagree with them.
Aye, when you want to dehumanize folks for who they want to be, when they ain’t do a damn thing to you. When all they want to do is live life and be left alone. Yea, I ain’t your friend, and I ain’t got no room for you.
