The U.S. Army sent a letter to discharged soldiers due to COVID-19 vaccine refusal, allowing them to request a correction of their military records and apply to return to service.
However, the letter lacks an apology and emphasizes the Army’s pride in its pandemic response.
The policies led to the discharge of around 2,000 soldiers and mistreatment of others. (Trending: LeBron James Shares Gun Advice For Americans)
“As a result of the rescission of all current COVID-19 vaccination requirements, former soldiers who were involuntarily separated for refusal to receive the COVID-19 vaccination may request a correction of their military records,” the letter reads.
“Individuals who desire to apply to return to service should contact their local… recruiter.”
The letter is seen as a response to the Army’s recruiting crisis.
The difficulties faced by unvaccinated service members are highlighted, including religious exemptions being ignored, career progression challenges, and alleged coercion.
The letter is criticized as inadequate, and there are calls for accountability, transparency, and restitution for affected service members.
The military allegedly “broke the law. In order to mandate that a service member take a drug, that drug must be U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved. (See 10 U.S. Code § 1107a.) At the time of the mandate, only Experimental Use Authorized (EUA) products were available, which lawyers argued the DoD cannot mandate or force anyone to take without a presidential waiver,” the report noted.
