🗞️ #ReasonableRanks Campaign Update – June 16, 2025

The #ReasonableRanks campaign continues to gain traction as veterans, advocates, and allies push for reform in military discharge policies affecting injured service members. Our message is simple but powerful: injured troops deserve reassignment options—not automatic discharge—especially when their injuries occur during training or non-combat duty.
