A group of 17 transgender members of the Air Force are suing the U.S. government over what they say is the military’s unlawful revocation of their early retirement pensions and benefits.

    Seems like a slam dunk win for them and a real embarrassment for the government that the courts even have to get involved.

    This is pure cruelty on display.

        It’s really disgusting. Here are people that have done everything right and they are kicked out against their will and their pension is also taken away.

        On the other side, people that have perpetrated murder and torture of civilians, were convicted by a military court, and then pardoned by Trump because it was brown people that died. Disgusting all around.

          They haven’t done everything right, yet. They took an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. The entire military are oathbreakers.
