Master Sgt. Logan Ireland reflects on the Air Force's decision to deny early retirement for transgender service members being forced out of the military amid Trump's ban.

The service issued a memo on Wednesday that will force at least a dozen transgender servicemen and women to lose lifetime benefits.

The U.S. Air Force said Thursday it would deny all transgender service members who have served between 15 and 18 years the option to retire early and would instead separate them without retirement benefits.
