I mean, yes, but at the same time it's like, I am not surprised the military treats trans people like sub-human pieces of garbage.

After all, for every 1 decent military person who is in the military because they want to protect the country or because they have extraordinary pride im the country or just because they really love guns and war machines, there are 999 Tweedle dumbasses who are there because it was the only option that they were qualified for, the only opportunity they would ever have to escape the crippling poverty they were born into, and everybody else was doing it and they couldn't think of anything better to do.

I'm sure that by and large trans people were in the .1% category, so, filtering them out increases the number of stupid, easily manipulated, easily controlled, and otherwise hopeless people for them to use for whatever money-making purposes they have come up with.
