Good. Hopefully they can use all this training to topple the government and monarchy and we'll never have to suffer those fools again.
I share your anti-militarist attitude, but I don't think that this is good in any way. It is rather bad. The military is a well respected institution in society and the standards it enforces resonate to societal beliefs very deeply. For decades, a staple rhetorical attack against gay people was that "they don't take them in the army for a reason". And guess what, this belief floats around to this day. So this is a huge discrimination, and very stigmatizing, and it will be the bedrock of massive scapegoating of trans people in both the US and the UK. And it might not be this triumph of anti-militarism you seem to think it is. History shows that this can just be the prelude to a massive militarization of society at large.
Very much agree. If we could snap our fingers and eliminate the military, I would. However, for as long as the military exists, it should be open to anyone. We shouldn’t give those who oppose us any ground uncontested.
I think it’s similar to women being priests in the Catholic Church. Would I prefer the Catholic Church cease to exist? Absolutely, and we’d be better off without any priests. But in the mean time, it would be a sign of progress if they stopped discriminating against women in that way.
Good points, thanks.
Thanks for pointing this out! We cannot reconsile, however, our dislike of the military and all who join it, and supporting our queer community, considering they are forced to kill many queer people and other marginalised folks. So we understand, but we also hate the military.
Well then get the prep work going then
😉
oh no, how sad, class traitors are losing their jobs :(
