He's not getting forced out, and the jackass already had a job lined up. And according to her Instagram, he had 20 years in service, not 18, and they were moving to the family Kansas farm after the normal time for the military to move you from your final duty station to your retirement home if out of town (6 months) had already passed. Which she was complaining about.
He's an officer who had been living off the Government since he went ROTC/OCS in college. Maybe 19 years total active duty, plus time counted at ROTC to make his 20 time in service years for retirement (not necessarily pay purposes though, he may be getting over 18 years retirement pay because pay is figured through active service day points vice time in service)
For someone complaining about Marxism, he's been taken care of all his adult life; free food, free shelter, free education, supplements money and health care for him and his family; and so long as he did what his supervisor told him, regular work and pay raises for time in service so long as he wanted to remain coddled by the taxpayers.
Since he is an officer, and isn't being kicked out (going through the normal resignation process), he still gets Tricare for Life, a retainer that is not as much as if he stayed in one more year, and all the retirement and VA bennies he would normally be entitled to. And he keeps his security clearance.
His wife and family will suffer by not living free in O-5 base housing or getting a subsidy to live in an appropriate house in town, but I'm sure his somewhere around $4K a month retainer for time in service will suffice to house them while he gets a management or executive level job in the private sector to support them once he's out.
The military doesn't need a selfish, willfully ignorant buttercup like him anyway. This isn't making a stand for freedom, it's whining about continuing to work under the policies of a political party he doesn't like because he drank the Q Flavor-aid.
Or maybe because he knew his REMF ass couldn't get promoted any further and decided to get out while he still had decent fitness reports and "a good reputation" with any prospective civilian employers he's been schmoozing with.
He's also not making points with the rank and file who won't get any of his bennies if they leave with him, no matter how anti-liberal they are.
The US military is the largest, most successful socialist organization in the Western Hemisphere. Any member who doesn't understand that at some basic level is being willfully ignorant about how much they are protected from the actual hardships and uncertainty of living the civilian life.
Sure, they spend a lot of time away from home and can't just decide to quit and change jobs, but they and their families are cared for just because they show up for work and do what they're told.
