It has long been said that if all the furries and catgirls disappeared it would cause the internet to collapse overnight.

What's a catgirl? Is there a signup for that?
No only a test and you just passed. Congrats
Cat ears and tail will be emailed to you. Congratulations recruit. Don't ask how we know where you live :-P.
Coding socks are the new contraband.
I love/hate that I get all these references lol
It's part of the plan. fucking traitor.
Next they'll go after the furries and take all the navy's data centers offline
And still, we let him live.
A couple of people have tried to go back in time to kill him, but were unsuccessful.
They will always be unsuccessful in this timeline. Maybe they managed it in others.
The ideological score here must be worth more to Trump than the strength of America's military, already hurting for new recruits, which says a lot and frankly scares the fuck out of me
Weakening the USA's defenses seems to be a consistent theme with Trump.
I think this signals the beginning of a very tough era for trans people more than it does anything about national security. But we shall see
Then place them in internment camps. We know where this is going you damn Nazi.
He's already completed the first step, by making them seem inhuman and criminal
Which is ironic, because he's the one who boasted about perving on kids
Here we go folks, welcome to the hellscape that is the new America
Honestly, it was a hellscape before, we just shifted down a level deeper.
They can form their own Blackwater and charge gazilion dollars to operate in the same places as they were before
You joke but that's why they want to fuck up the military. PMCs lobby too and they're willing to do everything in a war from flying the planes to being grunts on the line.
Ahh, yes. Purging the armed forces. Nothing sinister about that. Just restoring the professional military service.
You think with the recruiting problems we have you'd do your best to retain the people we have.
If you can get through basic and fulfill your tasks you should be able to be in the military. If the government doesn't want to pay for "gender affirming care" that's fine. But these people should still be allowed in the military.
Also, what kind of discharge are these people getting? Honorable, General, Dishonorable?
My immediate thought is that Klinger will be happy.

Trump's legacy will be long term damage to national security, rampant racism and discrimination, and widespread corruption.
How many times in our history are Americans going to get duped into hating people they never even interact with and know nothing about?
None of these people know trans people. These morons have just been conditioned to hate them regardless of not even knowing them. It's pathetic. They've never been hurt, or even inconvenienced by a trans person. Bigot fucks.
I hope he chokes on a Happy Meal.
The happiest meal
An easy to get general discharge from the military? I think lots of people with years left to serve are going to enjoy leaving early with all of their benefits.
I have a feeling most of the benefits will be going out the door behind them shortly thereafter.
How to create government jobs, while also remaining a christofascist overlord. Just like old times, eh?
Oh no please don't send highly trained members of our military home where they can protect and train their fellow Americans!
Looks like well-regulated militias are back on the menu
Welcome to the legion, 15,000 new anons.
Yikes. Not a good decision.
Would love to see him personally try to kick even one of them out of anything. Pathetic piece of shit.
Good... We'll need them for the resistance
It would be a good move for Biden to offer them honorable discharges now... it'll be better than what they'll get if they wait.
Are there actually 15K trans soldiers in the army, or is this just another number that he pulled out of his ass?
Transgender people are significantly more likely to serve in the US military than the general US population.[178][179] According to 2014 estimates from the Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law and Public Policy, despite the ban on military service, about 21.4% of the total transgender population in the US is estimated to have served in the military. In May 2014, an estimated 15,500 transgender individuals served on active duty or in the Guard or Reserve forces.[22] Wikipedia
So it’s a real number he just thinks military=army like the fake loser he is.
