After 20 years in the Army, Master Sergeant Amiah Sale’s future hangs in the balance.

The Trump administration has made it a mission to purge all transgender service members from the military, but as the trans military ban makes its way through the courts, some service members, like Sale, are spending their days in limbo.

    Fuck US soldiers. The pain that military has exported is known to all. Nope, being trans won’t get a pass from me. Anyone who has joined that military in the last 70 or so years should have known what they were signing up for. Any neo-imperial prospective soldier from Russia to the US to wherever should know.

    At least US soldiers got a fucking choice. Brown children with PTSD from the sound of drones never had a choice. Thousands upon thousands of corpses. THAT is the primary legacy of the US military.

    All you empire-apologist USians can downvote me and eat my shit, but please leave some for the beloved troops.

      Ah yes, all 16-year-olds have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of Neo-colonialism, and a full understanding of Marxist theory to make sound judgment against the framework that they’ve known their entire lives!
