They weren’t coerced to leave if they didn’t stay in and get kicked out

They should have done that. Gotta be wise to the military. They can’t be sued but they’re wise to legalities

They’re not going to be kind, fair, ethical. They’re not going to budge

While President Trump has said that he wants military members who were forced out
************
The meaning of the word coerced is “forced”.

verb
Simple past tense and past participle of coerce., being forced.

They were coerced to take the experimental vaccine or leave.

I’d be hard pressed to return if I was able to make a life for myself after getting kicked out.

Anyone who thinks the military would be nice and apologetic in any way does not get it

Wordsmithing nuances to specific words in order to work them into an alternative sequence of events should be a felony. Say what you mean, and mean what you say.

They will if they are ordered to do so.

I got out in early 2015. Recently my parents asked me if I was still in, and discharged because I wouldn’t taken the shot, would I consider going back. No. After the jab mandate. After an increasingly woke culture. After out military adventures throughout the world. Not much of a fan of government service anymore, doesn’t matter who’s in office, or in power at the moment.

That’s ridiculous! Who came up with that idea? (I suppose it’s in the article, but I didn’t read it all; life’s too short.)

Doesn’t sound like something Hegseth would do.

Trying force someone to attest to something that if provably false should be a crime in itself. Is is not?

They should favor the military whom they coerced to get out over the shot, but they’re wise won’t

I’d have forced them to kick me out. Would be in a better position after everyone comes to their senses, and they will. Majority- wise

But those who chose to voluntarily discharge won’t have a legal position

We’ll see what happens. Maybe Trump or besets has an argument or a power but I would not hold my breath

Never expect the military to be magnanimous it’s a mistake.

I think it’s fair - because part of settling a dispute 100% in your favor is the idea you are now even - you won - you got everything you asked for - INCLUDING the clear inference you were right and they were wrong.

But going forward, a settlement means its settled - clean slate.

The team can’t function if winner can’t stop talking about how his superior officers screwed him over - especially in the military. If they want to talk that way they should take their back pay and their cleared service record and resign.

Isn’t perjuring yourself on an official document a crime in the UMCJ? This is a trap. Id they do this an they were coerced, they can be court martialed. I am not sure what the penalty is.
