An executive order could be signed as early as Donald Trump’s first day back in the White House, which would force 15,000 people out of their posts

    They’re soldiers in the US military, I wouldn’t go as far as to call them that

      Aaron Bushnell was a trans person in the US Air Force and she was 50 times the leftist I am.

        She martyred herself out of guilt from being in that institution. That’s the difference between her and the rest of the troops. Until they prove otherwise, a troop is a troop.

        That is a 1 in 1,400,000 occurrence. The war criminals outnumber the self immolators 10,000,000 to 1, so I’m not concerned about the near-non-existent chance that someone decent gets cut. Also, keep in mind that Bushnell wasn’t out and therefore wouldn’t be cut by this decision. Both major trans saboteurs were pre transition when they joined as it is a different experience.

        okay, so just because of 1 good soldier that means the rest aren’t bad? are you goig to cry next about “fallen troops” in the next U.S. imperialist war because they could’ve been a comrade?

          No, the complete opposite. The world would be a better place if every single American servicemember was jailed or shot. I’m saying that categorically dismissing their tactical utility is a mistake, and that if you want the American left to have any political power at all you need to capture and make effective use of the group that actually has the guns. That doesn’t change their moral character, they’re still child murderers. But a child murderer who’s willing to sabotage a weapons shipment is a child murderer who has the capacity to undo a fraction of the harm they’ve caused.

          It’s not speculation, it was confirmed in this post

          If I recall, there was some speculation but they never explicitly said it or came out before martyring themselves

          EDIT: Okay, nevermind

          Streamed as “LillyAnarKitty” so there’s been a lot of speculation.
