Two years ago Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin decreed that all military personnel must get one of the experimental Covid vaccines or be discharged from the armed forces. Lawmakers were assured that "the discharge of disobedient service members will have no operational impacts across the force for readiness." Now, the Army has sent letters to those they kicked out informing them that since the pandemic has been canceled they may apply to come back. These letters made no apology for kicking these men and women out, but did offer those who received a less than honorable discharge an opportunity to request that this black mark be expunged from their service record.
An unanticipated consequence the insistence on administering an ineffective and unsafe vaccine was the negative impact it would have on future recruitment. The Army is now 25% below its recruitment goal for maintaining full strength. Austin said "it pains me to be forced to reach out to former soldiers who refused to follow my orders, but the alternative is an undermanned force because too many individuals in the prime recruitment age group are too fat, too ignorant, and too lazy to make good soldiers. Bringing back the fitter and more experienced veterans we've lost is the lesser of evils."
In related news, for the sixth consecutive year the Pentagon failed an independent audit of its accounting systems. Mike McCord, the Defense Department's chief financial officer said "we're striving for a clean audit where every asset can be identified and located, but it looks like it will be years before we reach that goal. While it is embarrassing to be unable to account for every dollar we've spent, Congress has been very understanding. No one has been fired and they have continued to generously approve almost all of the funding we have requested over the last six years."

would love to see a followup headline
“Former soldiers who were mistreated by their military leaders tell said leaders to go pound sand”
The same military that kicked them out based on laughable “Fauci science”?
The same military that devotes more time to sustainable fuels, DEI crap, and spineless leaders that bend over to get the Obama treatment?
This vet says shove it. (Apologies to all the real soldiers out there...hope you can hold out until you kick out all those generals who donated their spines and morals to the Democrat Party.)
During Biden’s inaugural address, the most significant speech almost any President will give, a speech which is normally used for uplifting the nation and creating one’s vision - Biden’s woke/angry/leftist handlers had him declare that “white supremacy” was the new, gravest threat to the nation.
Anyone who signs up to “serve” this ideological, corrupt, woke regime is a FOOL.
One way tickets and no right of return. Enjoy.....
Presidents are temporary. The institutions are no longer trustworthy. It’s required 25 years of hard work to change the military into this mess.
I’m beginning to be in favor of a rapid drawback in government spending on US military in some areas. I think the entire military mission has lost its way from actual national defense.
Audit failures should bring prosecutions to top brass defense personnel not simply dismissal. Only way that makes sense of this is because of corruption. Therefore, the services should start disbanding to end the incentives money gives them.
I’m not all the way there, but I see no reason in a corrupt trans military.
Anybody that would join today’s non Navy military absent a declaration of war by the Congress signed into law by the President is an idiot.
Navy is the only Constitutional standing military. All the rest is subject to political whims.
Full disclosure; Vietnam era USAF vet.
E5 NCO.
They simply don’t need to force COVID JABS any longer. mRNA are in other mandatory jabs.
Ya, cuz no promotion board will notice their gap in service......
