Looks like another Trump policy (remember the muslim ban) blocked by the courts

At least the judiciary has integrity

That's the best news that I've read in a long time. Too bad I'm too old, round and slow to be in the army.

It's so tedious how transphobes are recycling the Exact Same Old 'arguments' made once made by homophobes. LGBT people have served in the Army since forever, and that's not ever going to change, however many discriminatory laws the likes of Trump try to put in place!

Why would you even want to join though? Do you miss the stunning scenery of Afghanistan, or the possibility of a bomb going off under your humvee in Iraq? There is nothing glamourous about being in the military: it's hard work, long early hours, constant conformity, always doing whatever you are told to by your superiors, and being beaten up by your fellow soldiers if, for any reason, you seem a bit "strange", "weird" or "anti-social".
