In a stunning reversal, the U.S. Army is now apparently reaching out to reenlist soldiers it previously discharged due to non-compliance with the Biden administration’s coronavirus vaccine mandate. This development, highlighted in letters posted online by several former soldiers, points to a significant shift in the Army’s stance.
These letters, addressing “Ex-Service Members,” detail new Army guidelines aimed at amending military records of those unjustly discharged. This correction would enable former soldiers, who had their DD-214s marked with a restrictive code preventing reenlistment, to rejoin the service. The letter states:
“Individuals wishing to apply for reentry into service should get in touch with their nearest Army, U.S. Army Reserve (USAR), or Army National Guard (ARNG) recruiter for further details. Individuals may find an Army recruiter at https://www.goarmy.com, or a USAR recruiter at https://www.goarmyreserve.com.”
This attempt to welcome back soldiers comes in the wake of the vaccine mandate enforced by the Biden administration in August 2021, under the direction of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. The mandate led to the dismissal of over 8,000 troops, the sidelining of tens of thousands of National Guard members (resulting in lost drill time and pay), and influenced many to choose not to reenlist.
Numerous service members sought exemptions on religious, administrative, or medical grounds. However, most were either denied or left awaiting decisions when House Republicans successfully pressured the Pentagon into rescinding the mandate through the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act. This entire situation unfolded against the backdrop of an acute recruitment crisis within the military.
Former soldier Brad Miller, who resigned from the Army due to the mandate, also confirmed receiving such a letter. He has publicly called for the Army to provide compensation to soldiers who were either discharged or compelled to resign because of the vaccine mandate.
The Army’s current effort to rectify this situation is a clear admission of the overreach and consequences of the previous policy. It underscores the need for a more thoughtful approach to policy-making, especially when it involves the livelihood and careers of those serving the nation in uniform. The fact that the Army is now actively trying to reverse the damage done is a welcome step, but it also serves as a reminder of the importance of considering the far-reaching implications of such sweeping mandates.
And another dumbokkkrat policy is rescinded due to stupidity! Back pay required or fck off!
100% agree, this administration is so corrupt they can’t even use common sense!!!
Since this REGIME the words, COMMON SENSE, have been deleted from ALL reference tomes so the IDIOTS can claim ignorance as their excuse for falling on their faces. The DAMNED fools. They are the ZOMBIES. The VACCINES have worked, Big Pharma has Succeeded with their AGENDA!
You got it!
Just another screwup from the Retard in charge , that needed to be fixed. When will the Lackeys of this administration understand that his entire family and administration is NOT FOR AMERICA?
Any time lost in a soldier’s duration related to the contracted time remaining in their service agreement should reimbursed, whether not they re-enlist. Such abuse of power should not be tolerated.
+1
Pay EVERYONE back pay and accreued time, but do not hold your breath!!!!!!
Politics phuck things up! The military must own up to it’s mistakes.
Ah Ha, this all about enlistment, the numbers are so far down from the quota, that now they are BEGGING for Soldiers and Marines to come back, Well too bad , they stuck a knife in your back, and crapped on you . No!!!! They should change for code on your DD214 / Discharge To Honorable, you gave up your life for this country and you saw how you were treated after the fact ,Sorry no thanks, but keep pressure on the Pentagon to reverse your discharge status
Hey brother, The Marines are the only ones that met our goal.
Too little too late
Dr. Anthony Fauci, and the entire administration should be fired, and or arrested for the damage caused by the FALSE Covid–19 mandates, This was a pure power grab by the Democrats –PERIOD. Impeach NOW! Al Marvell, Scotia, NY 12302
Fauci will be prosecuted in a Trump DOJ! With the gutted, demoralized military we have now, a major attack on the USA is more likely. Americans need to lock and load.
Agree whole administration are a bunch of low life’s just stupid people trying control are life’s my dog is smarter.
I wonder how many will reenlist? Wonder if they will keep their rank? Am not sure if I was one of those people would go back in.
100% agree, this administration is so corrupt they can’t even use common sense!!!
This like many of the moves of this administration has been shown to destroy our front line of defense. The drugs biden has allowed to enter into the country, (as well as the terrorists that are now causing the entire country to be on edge) has killed over 70,000 person each year. The war on the middle class continues but this administration has probably made millions off of surrendering the War on Drugs.
Biden’s a moron. His appointees are morons. The people who voted for him are morons.
AGREED 100%!
AND NOW WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEMONRATS TO CONTROL CONGRESS AGAIN. WITHT HE WH AND SENATE, WE WILL HAVE NO/0 LINE OF DEFENSE – LOCK AND LOAD…
Tell it like it is John.
Goes to show you what weak presidents can do to the world we live in today.
1. Our southern border wall is down and examine the influx of uninvited people that are coming.
2. Our cost of living is at an all-time high.
3. Envious tyrannical nations are anxious to begin invading great nations.
4. Examine what is going on in Israel.
5. America is NEXT if ISRAEL gets taken over my HAMAS!!
* Conclusion: BORDER WALLS MATTER.
****** OUR USE OF ATOMIC WEAPONS IS OUR’S AND ISRAEL’S LAST CHANCE!!
HORRIFIC TIMES REQUIRE HORRIFIC ACTS…
Each of these individuals need to ascertain what the monetary loss to them was and double it for them to come back.
What happened in this incident was no mistake; it was criminal. Until every single person responsible is justly dealt with there will be no correction.
D stands for democrat which has these D traits also demented, disrespectful, dumb, degenerate, deplorable, despised, and just down right discussing.
Little to late if ask me. Millie already destroyed the military. Treated our military personnel like crap and kissed China feet. So we the people stand with our veterans and military personnel that Millie didn’t. We will stand and fight for our country while all you democrats and rhinos head for China. You supported woke agenda so until all you woke babies go back to closet, and leaving millions of equipment over seas you will only see broke. Pretty bad when you have grandma’s who will stand and fight while your military babies cry and hide. Thank you veterans and real men and women who fought for our freedom. We now have your backs.
All of those patriots need to tell the Army to pound sand until they get rid of the other elephant in the room, namely DEI.
The military had no business putting their soldiers out because they refused to take the jab. PERIOD. Get rid of this Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin without severance pay, because he doesn’t deserve it; he’s a LOOSER and a FOOL to suggest the Army take such action in the first place against our own troops.
This turn of events as of late is the result of inept individuals occupying offices that ought not be, both in civilian and military realms. It’s another great example of when Liberal Lefties and/or their sympathizers are in power. Nearly every time they make a fool hardy decision and move… they wind up backpedaling in order to save face. All they need to do, for starters, is to admit they made a BAD decision, apologize, and correct & make restitution to those directly affected… IF the individuals are still alive, otherwise, their surviving spouse or family members should receive compensation.
No one in their right mind will reenlist to fight for sleepy Joe the worthless Commander and chief, we are on the verge of many different Wars throughout the planet because of this idiot!
I don’t see any moral or ethical epiphany in their words or actions. The Army was compelled by law to accept unvaccinated recruits. The immoral ‘woke’ agenda they’ve been pursuing is what is repugnant to most potential recruits and that hasn’t changed.
To little to late you leftist morons your the cause of this with your stupidity and you’ve let America and Patriotic Americans in danger because your Woke crap now you pay real soldiers are now harder than ever to come by your leftist trans ideology doesn’t sit well being forced to work beside crybabies in the military ain’t the answer! You did this now we the people are on our own because of commie joe! Iran, Communist China and Russia, and hamass all want to destroy us because we have stupid ruining the military you hacks in the pentagon are just that leftist hacks your nothings! The un wants to abolish the military because commie joe gave them the authority thanks for nothing losers!
The worthless Austin & Miley should be made to resign in DISGRACE and dropped in rank for their stupidity for placing the USA in risk by depleting the Military!. The military that were discharged should be reinstated with original seniority date, back wages paid and promotions mad that would have been achieved during that time.
GENOCIDE: The slaughter, massacre, murder of a specific group of people regardless of age, that is what abortion is GENOCIDE it has left 67 million innocent lives lost since 1973. That is more lives lost than every War Americans have fought since America started beginning with the American Revolution, more lost than thru slavery to present day Dec 31, 2023 GENOCIDE is what we have become mass slaughter of innocence! Your all guilty!
First Fauci should be in prison!!!!!! Second Biden should be Impeached…..We have millions of illegals who have never even been vetted let alone vaccinated!!!!!!!’ The Biden adm could care less about America and the people!!!! He has Violated any law he decides he does not like!!!!!! If they offer the military their jobs back it would have to be on their terms!!!! They are the ones who suffered!!!! Then All the Nurses should get the same opportunity!!!!!!!! The cost for this …NEEDS TO BE DEDUCTED FOM BIDEN’s salary!!!!!! After all he has been on vacation for the last 3 Yrs!!!! That the taxpayers have paid for!!!!!
To all you leftist whining elitist in californikate stay the fk out of my state it’s red and going to stay that way we like our freedom of choice and free speech! You leftist hate America Governor is a commie loving racist hater and you all get what you voted for he’s destroying you and it’s you elitist who are allowing it Go Woke Go Broke moron loser californikateors!

Loser newsbum is a pathetic nothing he’s a walking joke of the bad kind you deserve it you voted him back in losers!
This may be one step forward but be careful re-enlisting. The army is still pushing the woke agenda and you might get kicked out for as little as mis-gendering someone.
