I've been thinking this a long time -- People seem to be under the impression that the military isn't the place you go to kill or break whoever or whatever you are told to kill or break, and you don't get to refuse.

So people are like "Oh, you are going to force me to dress in a certain way? You're going to force me to be called a certain thing or call others a certain thing?" and it's like "Yes, dumbass. That's exactly what joining the military is."

If there was a new doctrine that said that all hetero men are to wear sequined dresses into combat, guess what? The hetero men are wearing the sequined battle dresses. Because you're in the goddamned military.

I'm a civilian and always have been, but none of this is a secret, it's what it has always been. (And if I'm wrong I'm wrong, tell me I'm wrong and I'll adjust my worldview)
