The military is searching protected medical records to find transgender troops who have tried to continue serving amid the Trump administration’s ban on trans Americans in uniform, multiple sources tell Federal News Network.
Commanders around the world have started receiving notices that members of their units are violating Pentagon policy, and are being instructed to begin the separation process. The sweep is believed to have outed several hundred active-duty and reserve troops, including service academy and Reserve Officer Training Corps cadets, over the past two months, according to the trans advocacy nonprofit SPARTA Pride and Priya Rashid, an attorney with the National Institute of Military Justice.
Why get rid of soldiers who want to serve? At the end of the day they are choosing to protect the country. What does getting rid of them accomplish? Tangible accomplishments not just ideological.
Excellent use of time & resources
That’ll end well.
Focusing on the big issues as always
Well, you have to understand, the military has nothing else to do at the moment. It’s not like we’re at war or anything.
I’m extremely surprised all they’re doing is firing them. I was worried they were going to be tried for something stupid like defrauding the government or something. I have no idea why they would still be there, other than I can only assume benefits related reasons.
