The US military is now resorting to begging unvaccinated soldiers it unceremoniously discharged during the COVID plandemic to return to their posts amid widespread labor shortages.
Several former soldiers posted an Army letter online showing that the military branch would reinstate soldiers they previously removed for refusing the COVID shot.
“As a result of the repeal of all current COVID-19 vaccination requirements, former soldiers who were involuntarily separated because they refused to receive the COVID-19 vaccination may request correction of their military records,” the letter said.

The Biden administration imposed a vaccine mandate on the military in August 2021, with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin stating that any service member who refused the vaccine would be kicked out.
More than 8,000 troops have been removed since then.
Many have seen this letter. I just got mine. When I resigned from the military, it was clear that the Department of Defense was breaking the law (and that senior leaders were likely guilty of treason).

Following the decision to dismiss troops who refused the experimental COVID jab, the military maintained that the dismissal of the said troops would not affect military readiness.
“I can tell you that there are no operational impacts to readiness within the force,” said Marine Corps Lt. Gen. David Ottignon. told legislators. “There is no community that has reported a case where a [leader]a non-commissioned officer or other enlisted Marine is therefore not present.”
The army withdrawn its vaccine mandate in January, but said it would continue to “promote and encourage COVID-19 vaccination for all personnel to ensure readiness, facilitate mission execution, and protect the force.”
Recently retired Army Major Chase Spears noted that the Army’s reversal of the COVID vaccine mandate is largely driven by his poor recruitment figures.
“You might wonder why the military is making a U-turn on this now, given that the top official clearly has a different perspective on the policy change she is endorsing. Last month the army missed fiscal year 2022 hiring goals by 10,000, the third consecutive year with a significant deficit,” he wrote on Friday The American Spirit.
Spears also called on the Defense Department to issue a formal apology to service members it unlawfully removed from the military.
“While this policy reversal is a step toward common sense, it is far from enough. As I have said before, senior military officials must apologize for their Covid-related misconduct. In addition, they owe a large reservoir of damages to subordinates whose trust was so casually violated,” he wrote.
“We must never again allow totalitarians to persecute their fellow citizens in our nation’s military. A force that can so easily lose sight of its purpose is one that is rightly viewed through the lens of a skeptic,” Spears added.
