A federal appeals court has upheld an injunction barring the Trump administration from discharging two Air Force members who are HIV-positive.

The airmen sued in 2018, arguing that there is no rational basis for prohibiting deployment of service members with HIV. The men argue that major advancements in treatment mean the airmen can easily be given appropriate medical care and present no real risk of transmission to others.
What’s with this administration and trying to get at qualified members of our armed forces?

Because in the end the people who cheer him the loudest are the ones who think the gays and the hivvy are just ick.

I would be interested in what the military actually had to say about this and whether they supported it. Remember, they didn't want the transgender fan, but Mike Pence and his crew flattered the president of two where he went along and did it anyway.

Though even if the military supported it, I wouldn't consider that dispositive. They very well may want to avoid the increased medical costs like any government agency seeking to cut corners, and may do it under the rubric of supposed Health / safety concerns.
