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.

    what “service” is she providing, other than murdering innocent people in the middle east to make your oil cheaper?

      -20 votes… 0 reply. don’t expect a rational argument here. The US military has been the world’s biggest polluter entity and biggest contributer to death to humankind in the last century .

      Seriously what service or what war was it? She defended her country from vietnam? From Afganistan? Iraq? Iran? Lybia? Syria? Bosnia? Sudan? Yemen? Somalia? Helped stealing Venzula’s oil because they were not on israel side? Helped suffocating and embargoing Cuba with your service? You helped genociding starved enslaved besiged people in Gaza? Helped US imperlism and control of Asia and loot hosting country’s resources? Helped toppling democrasies and installed Cuba’s Batista, Iran’s Shah, Philipine’s Marcos, Eygpt’s Sisi, and tens of nations throughout history that refused to enrich your warlord masters who own weapon manufactorers and oil companies? Helped install puppet pro-israel zionist governments in South America and Middleast? Worked in bases of US-ally dictatorships that kill their protestors with US weapons in the middleast and Africa?

      I thank you for your service where or when? You never defended your country from a foreign invasion. You worked for death and launching metals into people’s bodies all while polluting environment and destroying the planet, and helping episten-class get rich from wars.

      You know they are about to draw their last anti-trans card now… antisemitism maybe. Here comes my ban. But they will never reply to your question because they can not.

      Do you think she was motivated by bloodlust for the innocent and cheap oil, or by a sense of duty?

      Can you commend responding to a sense of duty at the same time as criticising what it achieved? I can.

          Look, I understand and share your cynicism about the US military given all it has done. I don’t think, though, that it’s too much to ask that people understand that there can be different, positive attributes shown by its members.

      I guess folks aren’t allowed to emotionally grow. What a twisted mindset to to push.
