Trump is sort of incapable of having the theory of the mind for anyone who doesn’t already think like him, so people genuinely wanting to be in the military out of a desire to serve their country and defend the American spirit is entirely alien to him, who assumes they do it to terrify brown people.

at least like 30% of military training is making people do pointless tedious things just to acclimate them to the fact that you can do it. I don't know where people are getting this idea that this is significant.

This is the only good idea they’ve had, since the only other thing they’ll use them for is mass violence
