    The ideological score here must be worth more to Trump than the strength of America’s military, already hurting for new recruits, which says a lot and frankly scares the fuck out of me

        I think this signals the beginning of a very tough era for trans people more than it does anything about national security. But we shall see

    You think with the recruiting problems we have you’d do your best to retain the people we have.

    If you can get through basic and fulfill your tasks you should be able to be in the military. If the government doesn’t want to pay for “gender affirming care” that’s fine. But these people should still be allowed in the military.

    Also, what kind of discharge are these people getting? Honorable, General, Dishonorable?

      Pfft, that shits been contracted out for years (honestly understandable, hard to have consistent network defense with a constantly rotating (deploying) workforce of active duty military)

        Lots of IT still in the military also some of the “contract out” is done by reservist and is tied to their military contract. Those still in military are your tier 3 IT and admin.

      He’s already completed the first step, by making them seem inhuman and criminal

      Which is ironic, because he’s the one who boasted about perving on kids

    An easy to get general discharge from the military? I think lots of people with years left to serve are going to enjoy leaving early with all of their benefits.

      I have a feeling most of the benefits will be going out the door behind them shortly thereafter.

        I have to hope their contractually obligated to provide them. If not I’d look forward to the class action suite but then again the judges are openly corrupt. America is a clusterf*ck right now.

          Fun fact, when you join you waive your right to sue the military. Might be able to sue the VA or parts of the government though.

          Laws don’t matter to Orange Julius, I doubt contracts do either.

          I hope I’m wrong for a lot of people’s sake tho.
