Shame we tried to treat everyone with respect around the same time we were trying to bolster recruitment to counteract historic lows of active duty members. That convergence will forever allow bigots to decry that women are weak because the military only requires 10 pushups instead of 13.
How many pushups does it take to send bombs to the middle east?
Also if you're facing low recruitment why are you trying to kick out people because of their gender or sexual orientation that have already stepped up to work for you?
It'd be a hell of a lot easier to convince someone that's already under contract to do whatever the fuck you tell them to go freeze their tits off in Greenland for the motherland than to recruit a highschooler that was just shown how little their government cares about them.
It's an ironic picture at the very least, but how do we know they actually support Trump and are not just wearing the shirt as a sort of "armor" in an ineffective attempt to not be targeted (like why some people who don't have significant thoughts about the police will put a "back the blue" bumper sticker on their car to try to avoid speeding tickets)?
