Dear Trans US soldiers,
You can join the French legionnaire and get an easy European passport after a few years of service.
Regards

Just so everyone is aware, the French Foreign Legion is an elite group of soldiers. If you aren’t extremely physically fit or ready for 5 years of military suck then this isn’t the option for you.

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?
-
I mean he seems like he wants to use the military to do a lot of things. Take over Greenland, martial law, etc. It'll be hard with a shrinking military.

Oh good that's what we need.
Fewer enlistees.
-
We should have fewer
We can decrease our spending by like 6/7ths and we're still spending the most on our military compared to other countries.
Everyone's looking for cuts to fix the deficit, we should start with the military and healthcare insurance/ middlemen that bloat these industries.
-
Yeah, sure. The issue is this won't decrease funding. If anything, it'll increase it. They have a certain number of troops they want to maintain. If they don't have them, they'll spend more on advertising. I wouldn't be that upset if some of the funding went to increased pay, but that's likely not going to happen, at least not significantly.

Maybe that would be a good thing under Trump....

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!
-
I hope they break everything before they're kicked out
-
Please be the GoP, please..

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.

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.
"Defend" their country you mean.
