Trump is now denying retirement pay for transgender service members after expelling them from the military.

Heinous.

They signed on in good faith and served in good faith. There's no good faith in this government.

The retirement length of service is 20 years...In order to retire early it is up to the discretion of the military.

It has been that way for decades. It's hard to win a lawsuit when these were the rules when they joined.

Also, sexual questions are always asked intriplicate at MEPS. I have seen people removed from service at 18 years because of persistent excessive alcohol abuse...Nothing...no retirement.
