It is impossible for you to redistribute this software or any sort of resulting binary.

It would be based on both their GPLv3 and their no-military licenses simultaneously. The linked requires another depot based on GPLv3 to function and perform patching. The resulting software would then undistributable as you cannot possibly comply with both the GPLv3 and their no-military license. GPLv3 would permit distribution to military and not permit you to restrict them and the other would prohibit military.

Additionally this should be considered a violation of Gitbub's Terms of Use. It is intentionally discriminatory against another group: Any given military. For example, the content hosted on GitHub is intentionally discriminatory toward the Deutsches Heer.
