I think it was paid… But it’s been years so I couldn’t tell you.

It’s currently $3.99 in the Play Store for me, with a crossed-out list price of $6.49. Not a bad deal.

I was serving in the US military the first time Trump was president and he tried to ban trans people then. The Department of Defense told all of us to not take action yet, and they managed to talk Trump out of the decision.

But that was when we had a Democrat majority in the other government branches. This time, it’s all Republican, and they love cutting our military pay and benefits. Don’t let them fool you; they act like they care about the military but they just use us for the good press. If it weren’t for Democrats, we wouldn’t have any benefits left. I’m retired now, but I expect my pension and VA medical benefits to be gutted under Trump. I might actually have to end my retirement and go back to work.

I expect trans people will actually be banned this time. Plus gay people; Republicans were pissed we let gay folks openly serve a decade ago. And women’s roles in the military will probably be restricted too, if not outright banned. My wife served in the military too and she’s had her own challenges with people not respecting her authority because she was a woman. I imagine it’ll get far worse soon, with Trump’s presidency inviting misogynists out into the open.
