Making trans people with combat knowlodge unemployed for a transphobic reason doesn’t seem like a good idea.
chuds in the US military will never do something good, there’s a whole thing about homeless “veterans”, never saw them revolt
Bonus Army was filled with ex-conscripts. Modern veterans were all volunteers, so they are bootlickers or selfish opportunists at heart without any type of solidarity. They lack the ingredients for an uprising
We actually did have unemployed (a lot of homeless as well) veterans revolt back in 1932 during the Great Depression, demanding early payment of their service bonus certificates.
About 43,000 of them camped with their families on the White House lawn for a while, and the president at the time, Herbert Hoover, sent tanks and bayonets in and they killed a few people and injured dozens. Patton led the charge and Eisenhower wrote the military report endorsing the action (though he claims he told Patton not to do it). It was called the “Bonus Army” if you want to do some more reading.
1932, that’s older than Joe Biden Also it’s ignoring an important part, most U.S. army members aren’t from poor families anymore, most can afford not killing kids for a job.
Some of them were also suspected of being involved with the Business Plot, which would have ushered in a Nazi dictatorship. Luckily they approached the wrong general to carry out the plot, but the plan was to use the Bonus Army to do it since they found enough sympathizers to go along with it.
Who knows, though. Had they approached officers in charge of the Bonus Army directly, maybe they would have been rebuffed all the same.
Besides WW1 vets. Many post-vietnam vets turned in far-right terrorists. Oklahoma City bombing is an example of this. I guess the only recent cool veteran was Chris Dorner.
I hope any of them with good opsec manage to leak a whole bunch of classified information on their way out.
Look this probably is going to be an unpopular opinion, and I know this is part of a wider attack on trans people which is obviously fucked, but the world would be a better place if literally nobody was in the US military. We mock Israel for their army of idpol genocidaires.
Maybe if we’re lucky he’ll kick women out next, which will eliminate a quarter of their troops. It was basically only allowing women into the military that has saved the all-volunteer US armed forces from the absolute collapse in recruitment.
Edit: reading the other comments turns out this is a cold and popular take. Thank you my echo chamber friends
It’s very funny when chuds complain about women in the military when you’re 100% right about them never reaching targets with just men and it was a practical solution to shore up the power of empire without offering higher pay and shit.
Cuz it turns out it’s a tough sell to ruin your knees and be scared of fireworks till you die for a college scholarship and you couldn’t save as much pay as you initially planned because you had to live off post because there’s black mold in the barracks and a whole host of other shit
So, dear chuds, by all means do whatever reforms you want that will ultimately make the military perform worse
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

This would be great if he would just kick out the cis troops first.
