The US air force, specifically and clearly, offered retirement benefits for individuals with between 15 and 18 years of service as of May 2025. Hegseth clawed it back. They were being forcibly discharged with retirement benefits. I'm not going to discuss further and I'm muting the thread now.
Eric's post above says transgender service members are being forced into early retirement. That is factually incorrect. It doesn't matter what the Air Force supposedly "offered" as of May 2025. Trans service members are being forcibly discharged *and* excluded from any early retirement benefits.
