After the coronavirus vaccine mandate was rescinded for members of the military this week, the Pentagon may consider back pay for troops who were discharged for refusing to get it.
"All Service members and Veterans may apply at any time to the appropriate Discharge Review Board or Board for Correction for Military/Naval Records if they believe that there is an error or injustice in their records-to include those that were separated by the vaccine mandate," Pentagon spokesperson Maj. Charlie Dietz told Fox News Digital in a statement Friday.
"Regarding back pay, the Department is still exploring this and will provide its views on legislation of this nature at the appropriate time and through the appropriate process," he added.

There are likely some significant lawsuits on the horizon, if they don't.
This is very good news.
The diversity hire SecDef should be removed and imprisoned.
The COVID "pandemic" will go down in history as the biggest scam ever perpetrated on humanity. Many people need to hang in the gallows for this.
Glad they are trying to make it right with back pay and what not but fact is, they might have killed a few people along the way.
Thank God.
Hang the Fat Bastard! Just make sure to use a heavy rope!
The COVID-19 Debate and Conversation We Were Denied (Jan 14, 2023)
“The same strain of distrust in government that was embedded in the DNA of every American from our nation’s founding, is likely to be the inherent immunity that saves us.”
May it be so.
It should. I felt I had it pegged from the very start, and kept making the case here, when 2 couples I know, both in their 70's, all caught covid and told me it wasn't any worse than a bad cold, for all four of them. This was before there was any type of treatment, or panic.
I'm sure it was worse for others, especially those with other complications, but the shutdown, free rent, PPP money, and warp speed vaccines were all insane. The treatments are probably what killed a lot, whether Remdisivr, ventilators, and the like at first, and then the clot shots, whose numbers are still growing.
I hope so—what they did to them was awful.
While some form of compensation is certainly called for, I’m of mixed feelings about allowing them to return to service, at least to any kind of position where they would have access to secret or important information...only because, after that kind of traumatic and disillusioning experience of being wrongly persecuted (which wouldn’t magically go away with their restoration), they could become ideal candidates for cultivation by some other country’s espionage service.
Not saying that all (or even many) of them would do that, but I can easily see that kind of wrongful persecution leaving some with an ax to grind against their employer at the first opportunity. The KGB learned in the post-Stalin era (when they could no longer count on starry-eyed ideologues) to look for such chip-on-shoulder types as potential sources.
Don’t forget the reparations!
It’s an important concern, that you rightfully bring up. And probably one of the main complications that prevented any re-hire of troops to be left out of the original decision to simply stop the mandate.
There’s probably a good chance that many lost their security clearances as part of the process. Many have probably moved on and have no desire to return either. Even the article spoke mostly of back pay, and allowing them apply for re-instatement, which would be on an individual basis, verses any sort of rubber stamp that they can all return.
recruiting must be even worse then they’re admitting...
may consider

Pfft.
Less talk
More do
Until then
Don’t waste our time with your

Let’s hope they do it. The service members never should have been kicked out just because decrepit old joe was mad at them.
Good news. Millions who got vaxxed are now worried and getting paranoid about what they have done to their long term health. Worried about their vaxxed children too. As in “Will my daughter or son keel over playing soccer? Or hockey?”
Since the US military is the world’s highest percentage vaxxed group, I’d be more worried about the ChiComs showing up at the US Capitol asking for the keys....
“Since the US military is the world’s highest percentage vaxxed group.....”
How many of our military have had their mental condition impaired by so many vaxxxes and boosters? This vaxxx can also mess up your brain and nervous system.
Recruiting is definitely hurting. My husband and his retired military friends keep getting asked to re-enlist and not one of them will do it.
