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

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..

@whowasthatmaskedman Think of the Covid shot as what it is, a flu shot. They do not make service members get flu shots.

P.S. NO Officer would order a troop to charge into a mine field. What are you? a WW1 veteran? Did they force you
into the Mustard gas, one too many times? 🤣

@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.

@Richard65 Much the same as a flu vaccine, call it what you want, but they are very similar, both are viruses.
Viruses and Diseases, are two very different things.

@DogMan No . Diseases include all viruses (viri?) and bacteria and a fe fungi as well😷
