Dear Trans US soldiers,

You can join the French legionnaire and get an easy European passport after a few years of service.

Regards

I can already see people becoming trans just to avoid military service

The one thing I doubt we’ll see anytime soon is an actual draft. Trump’s going to do a lot of stupid shit, but I doubt he’ll do that one. Afterall, why would you want to train the people you don’t like how to fight?

One of the cooks downstairs went on a rant the other day about how they're willing to risk their lives to defend their country why can't everybody just shut up and let them do it. Hyped up the whole damn cafeteria talking about their lgbt loved ones and how if you can't even bring yourself to love someone how they are you at least need to mind your business. t's nice hearing some ranting in that direction for once.

Maybe try to have some hype sessions like this about your duty to ignore illegal orders.

I'm not joking, you should really do this.

Oh good that's what we need.

Fewer enlistees.

I know this is terrible and I feel for those whose lives this will impact. But it really does show the self defeating nature of fascism. While talking big about invading two countries, why not weaken your own military? Great job, fascism!

This ought to fix stuff . These people are so on point and care so much about doing things that will help the world function better. Or they just throw shit out there like this to appease the extremely stupid people and to distract from all the other horrible shit they're doing. But I don't believe that, it's too cynical.

I hope they break everything before they're kicked out
