cause i tried reasoning how trump's mannerisms aren't much worse than someone's older uncle or grandpa at Thanksgiving

and how I understood the reasoning behind trump barring trans ppl from military service wasn't immoral discrimination, but rather he didn't want more mentally unstable people on the front lines

what

which tbh is more merciful than sending more people to die in fruitless wars imo

you dont want people under constant need of medicine for mental issues handling military hardware?

i guess that makes me literally Himmler lol

You know making clear and sense arguments are wrong right, stupid head

lol

im a manlet with massive eye problems and no matter how much i love my country even i wont want myself serving in the armed forces

Your sooooooo dumb, how dare you be sense

i went to a vision center to get my eyes checked earlier

i guess my vision just wasn't woke enough

or something witty along those lines

anyways

the new DLC for GTA 5

likin it so far

btw ameriburgers explain to me what "dont ask dont tell" actually does. for all i make of it you just dont ask people if theyre gay and dont tell people youre gay or something like that

from what I can gather it's just a discretion policy

It is now

Before it was zero tolerance afaik

just keeping gay stuff on the down low

You break dadt in the past and you could be discharged

cause, well, what does letting people know you're gay have to do with serving your time?

by you breaking dadt, what if its someone else who outed you

I think they get busted too

i guess you'd report it to your CO?

It's basically codified homophobia

Which is silly but not necessarily offensive, they tried to be respectful

It didn't end up working out in the long run it seems

i think its a misguided old rule, well meaning but misguided

Yeah

Guys are gonna talk about sex eventually, when a straight guy does it it might not seem like rubbing it in your face but maybe it does to a gay guy (and vice versa)

So i can see ppl breaking dadt who just want to be left alone or otherwise try to get out of a conversation they don't want to get any more awkward

These days I'd like to think ppl can handle it like adults without having to codify a policy whose lowest common denominator back in the day was your average homophobe

current_year politics is all about outdoing each others's extremeness

oh wait i misunderstood the last part
