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?

Elsewhere somebody said Medical, don't have a source myself.

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 9 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

It said it in this article.

This is the internet, I read headlines and comment sections, not articles! /s

Then place them in internment camps. We know where this is going you damn Nazi.

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

I hope he chokes on a Happy Meal.

The happiest meal

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.

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 56 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] emax_gomax@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 7 points 18 hours ago

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.

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.

How to create government jobs, while also remaining a christofascist overlord. Just like old times, eh?

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 22 points 22 hours ago

Welcome to the legion, 15,000 new anons.

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe we’ll finally see strict gun laws, albeit aimed at disarming the opposing populous.

[–] Pistcow@lemm.ee 23 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Ooor, we create a well regulated militia with 15,000 new soldiers!
