Now that we've decided to save Iran from the Iranians dermatitis will have to be the new bone spurs.

No. Bone spurs was a way for a rich asshole to dodge the draft.

This is explicitly a way to kick poor black men, volunteers, out of the military.

Or maybe it's that black Sargent that some racist captain wants gone.

Purging the military of minorities is never a good sign.

So as far as I can see their plan so far appears to be to reduce the size of the military, while at the same time making enemies of trained personnel. Doesn't seem particularly well thought out.

And also starting a war.

yup. every step is to homogenize the services with white male cisgendered warcrime-willing types.
