    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.

        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.

          That’s not actually true. It’s just very restricted, the contracts and laws around your service make it very hard. You can’t sue for things that are legal orders and you generally can’t sue specific people. You can absolutely sue the DoD for things like breach of contract. For example if you were processed out of active duty normally, on time and everything, and then were arrested for desertion a month later you would likely have a case against the DoD. It just has to be off the wall stuff like that.

      Yeah. He also wants to prevent using military healthcare for transgender care. So even if they could get VA benefits it wouldn’t help where trans people need it most.
