Military will get back pay after being kicked out.

RESINSTATING THE UNJUSTLY DISCHARGED: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to reinstate service members who were dismissed for refusing the COVID vaccine, with full back pay and benefits.

The Executive Order directs the Secretary of Defense to reinstate all members of the military (active and reserve) who were discharged for refusing the COVID vaccine and who request to be reinstated.
Those who are reinstated will receive their former rank and full back pay with benefits.
CORRECTING AN INJUSTICE: In spite of the scientific evidence, the Biden Administration discharged healthy service members—many of whom had natural immunity and dedicated their entire lives to serving our country—for refusing the COVID vaccine. Government redress of these wrongful dismissals is overdue

I agree with this.

Strange, especially when you consider US troops routinely had anthrax and botulinum toxoid vaccines for Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as being administered vaccines for:
Yellow fever
Typhoid
Cholera
Hepatitis B
Meningitis
Whooping cough
Polio
Tetanus
Japanese encephalitis (JEV)
Pneumococcal

But, then they draw the line at Covid.
I think we all know what this is really about.
But, sure, you know, Covid...😒

@Richard65 Those are called immunizations. The Covid shot is not an immunization, it is a flu shot.

It was also still in the developmental stage.

Richard65 · M

@DogMan what are you talking about? It's called the Covid vaccine, it isn't a "flu shot" at all. All those others mentioned are also vaccines. Plus, what's an immunization? Immunisation refers to the process of both getting the vaccine and becoming immune to the disease following vaccination. You're making no sense. You're just putting random words together that mean nothing outside of your head.

OK. Honest question. Because I dont get this. The military can order a serviceman to chrge into a minefield and courtmartial them for refusing..But they cant order them to get an injection that might allow them to survive a disease that might make them unable to serve..

@DogMan I was using an extreme example and there are instances where a force is given an order to sacrifice itself in order to cover a withdrawal of a larger force or complete a mission. The British garrison at Caen in France fought hopelessly with no hope of withdrawal to occupy germans and cover the withdrawal at Dunkirk😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Yes, you are right, those heroic men volunteered to do the unthinkable. My dad was a rifleman
on the front lines, in the mountains of Italy. That is back when men were men.

@DogMan The Covid vaccine isn't a flu shot. It's a vaccine. Hence the name. Give it up.

Agree 💯

A pregnant army Captain was kicked out when she didn't want to get the shot while she was carrying a baby.

LeopoldBloom · M

The same thing will happen in a few years with the trans service members who are being kicked out now.

DogMan · 61-69, M

@LeopoldBloom You could be right. It depends on what happens over the next 4 years.

I was under the impression that you didnt even get to know what vaccines you were getting in the military, much less have any choice about them.

@trollslayer I was in during the 70's and 80's. If you were in a Combat role, as I was, you were immunized to
fight anywhere in the world. If you didn't want the shots, you were taken out of a combat role. You were not
kicked out.

@trollslayer this is essential what my father in law said when he was sent overseas during the gulf war. You didn't ask and they didnt tell you. I didnt know if it was jsut a time of war thing, or if this was the norm.

DogMan · 61-69, M

@nonsensiclesnail That is not true. Maybe some did not ask, but EVERY immunization is in a persons shot records.
And you are required to have your shot records with you to prove it. Mine was a little yellow paper booklet, with dates
and information. Today it is all online for service members to see.
