    Can we eliminate the dod (dow) budget and put that money to things that would benefit society?

    “divisive” is such a weird complaint. It ignores the value of whatever people disagree on. As if being divided on “pizza or burritos” is just as bad as “should women be allowed outside”.

      Well if you’re running a military, you kinda don’t want any divisiveness. For military reasons.

      At the Salons of Paris, sure, divisive away but down on the ground the more togetherness the better, usually.

      Not that he’s right about jack shit, of course not. Drinky Pete is a disgusting embarrassment, but it’s not the same as disagreeing over dinner plans.

      Totally agree but it’s pretty black and white for these fuckwads. Division is anything that doesn’t comport with the personal beliefs of those in power. It can be as simple as pizza or burritos. They just declared war on Tylenol ffs

        The VA secretary already said a doctor can refuse to treat a veteran if they are an unmarried woman, among other things like atheism or being LGBTQ+. I can only imagine how hard anyone will have to fight for their benefits during this administration

    Maybe those women will realize that fighting for the US is not actually in their best interests, and will use their training for something else.

    Just a thought.

        Ooooh that’ll be a good PPE concept. Maybe make them contrasting colours. A deep red against a white background perhaps. Maybe put a Hindu peace sign in the middle to highlight their friendly intention.
