I just read that the Air Force will be denying retirement benefits to Trans service members who have 15-18 years of service, and I'm very upset These brave people joined public service and national defense, and were willing to lay their lives down for this nation. Whether their early ouster is fair or not may be debated, but denying them earned retirement benefits is unjustifiable. They spent at least a decade and a half working for the public good, and could have been earning retirement benefits elsewhere during that time. Denying them earned retirement actually punishes them for their service, and would put service members at further risk of poverty in their old age. Please make the Air Force change this policy to show that America continues to honor their service.
