That's straying pretty close to soldier worship for my tastes

Edit: oh I'm sorry are trans soldiers not involved in the war machine, did I miss a memo?

Edit 2 electric boogaloo oh we're IN IT NOW, everyone crack your knuckles and defend the military industrial complex when the guy in charge has a red tie?

Trans people are people and deserve every right they've earned tenfold but I'm not gonna pretend the US Military is a good thing lol

Its awful how predatory the US military is. They rely on lack of social services to fill their ranks, so for many its the only real way out of a bad situation (say, being LGBTQ+ in bumfuck nowhere in a red state, or poor literally anywhere), and offering benefits in exchange for trauma.

Well, that and the mindless nationalism and from-birth propaganda.
