Army Strong, unless your fee fees get hurt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Get a load of this new policy in the works. It can’t possibly be ever open to abuse. The Brandon Administration is continuing the social justice experimentation in the DoD ranks with this genius move.<\/p>\n

Soldiers Facing Discrimination from State Laws Could Request Transfers Under Draft Army Policy<\/h3>\n

The Army is circulating a draft policy tweak that would specify that soldiers can request to move if they feel state or local laws discriminate against them based on gender, sex, religion, race or pregnancy, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the plans.<\/p>\n

The guidance, which would update a vague service policy to add specific language on discrimination, is far from final and would need approval from Army Secretary Christine Wormuth. But if enacted, it could be one of the most progressive policies for the force amid a growing wave of local anti-LGBTQ and restrictive contraception laws in conservative-leaning states, where the Army does most of its business.<\/p>\n

The policy would ostensibly sanction soldiers to declare that certain states are too racist, too homophobic, too sexist or otherwise discriminatory to be able to live there safely and comfortably.<\/p>\n

“Some states are becoming untenable to live in; there’s a rise in hate crimes and rise in LGBT discrmination,” Lindsay Church, executive director of Minority Veterans of America, an advocacy group, told Military.com. “In order to serve this country, people need to be able to do their job and know their families are safe. All of these states get billions for bases but barely tolerate a lot of the service members.”<\/p>\n

If finalized, the new rules would clarify what situations would entitle a soldier to a so-called compassionate reassignment. Right now, those rules are vague but are mostly used for soldiers going through family problems that cannot be solved through “leave, correspondence, power of attorney, or help of family members or other parties,” according to Army regulations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Untenable to live in” my ass. They’re in the Army! Everywhere they get sent is “untenable to live”. It’s part of the sales pitch. Join the Army, live untenably. How about we focus on fixing military housing before we look into this problem that doesn’t exist needing an idiotic solution.<\/p>\n

The SMA though has assured Congress that the service is going to take care of their people that will be impacted by a repeal of Roe v. Wade. I’m not sure what impact it would have on anyone in the service, since the Hyde Amendment prohibits use of federal monies to perform abortions (i.e. Tricare and the VA won’t pay for it).<\/p>\n

Last week, Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Grinston, the service’s top enlisted leader, told lawmakers that the force is considering some response to the end of Roe v. Wade, though it’s unclear whether that is a separate policy being mulled by Army planners.<\/p>\n

“The answer is yes, we are drafting policies to ensure we take care of our soldiers in an appropriate way,” Grinston told a House Appropriations Committee subpanel. “There are drafts if it were to be overturned, but that would be a decision for the secretary of the Army to decide the policy.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
