The Pentagon's recent announcement marks a significant step in correcting the injustices faced by LGBTQ service members, reiterating the military's commitment to inclusivity.
Historically, the don't ask, don't tell policy resulted in thousands of service members being dismissed without honorable discharges, severely impacting their access to veterans' benefits.
With approximately 800 service records upgraded, the Pentagon has now ensured that 96% of those affected by the discriminatory policy now hold honorable discharges.
This initiative reflects an ongoing effort to address past discrimination, including President Biden's announcement of pardons for those convicted under outdated military policies.
