Mark Bashaw, the only member of the Armed Forces to be court-martialed for refusing to take the COVID shot, has been reinstated to the U.S. Army, promoted as if he'd never been discharged, and awarded back pay. Making the victory sweeter is the fact that he was prosecuted by none other than current Virginia congressman, then Colonel Yevgeny Semyonovich Vindman, the brother of Lieutenant Colonel Aleksandr Semyonovich Vindman, of Trump impeachment fame.
Bashaw, a former USAF noncommissioned officer, had been commissioned into the Army's Medical Service Corps and was stationed at Aberdeen Proving Ground. He was charged in February 2022 with three counts of “failure to obey lawful orders.”

His prosecutor wanted everyone to know how happy he was that he'd booted a father of three out of the Army on totally bulls*** charges. Because if you can't get noticed by the right people by being a suck-up, what does it matter?

On January 27, 2025, President Trump ordered reinstatement be made "available to all members of the military (active and reserve) who were discharged solely for refusal to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and who request to be reinstated;" see Reinstating Service Members Discharged Under the Military's COVID-19 Vaccination Mandate.

Now kick Vindman out of Congress, recall him to active duty, and court martial HIM.
Now, electric chair both Vindmans.
Hopefully with back pay.
