Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth

In a bold move reminiscent of a captain steering a ship through a storm, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced a series of reforms aimed at addressing the fallout from what many are calling the Biden administration’s overreach with its COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

Addressing the nation with the fervor of a leader intent on rebuilding trust, Hegseth laid out the Department of Defense’s (DOD) plans to restore service members and veterans who faced unjust repercussions for their principled stand against the vaccine mandate.

As previously reported by , concerns have surfaced among military veterans regarding a new reinstatement form released by the DOD. Critics assert that this document effectively coerces them into misrepresenting the circumstances of their departure during the vaccine mandate crisis.

Veterans are reportedly being told that, in order to reclaim their positions, they must sign a statement that implies they left the military voluntarily, rather than as a result of the mandate.

One clause in the form states: “I, [name], attest I voluntarily separated from the (Air) (Space) Force or allowed my service to lapse rather than be vaccinated under the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, which was in effect from 24 August 2021 to 10 January 2023. My decision to separate was made freely and without coercion.”

In response to the uproar, the DOD’s team has promptly stated that they are “reviewing” the situation.

In a video statement released on Wednesday, Hegseth extended an apology, saying, “We acknowledge how it was handled, and we are committed to rectifying it.”

Effective immediately, the Department of Defense is taking steps to erase the records of all troops who faced disciplinary action for refusing the controversial vaccine. Many of these individuals were discharged under less-than-honorable conditions, which not only tarnished their reputations but also stripped them of essential benefits.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth:
We recognize that the previous administration imposed unlawful mandates regarding an experimental vaccine—COVID-19. You know it, and we know it.

We are moving swiftly to reinstate those affected by this policy. We are aware that the process has not been flawless, and we are dedicated to addressing any shortcomings. We are actively engaging in dialogue to ensure we get this right, in collaboration with the White House.

Our aim is to welcome back anyone impacted by the vaccine mandate—those who stood by their convictions, our warriors of conscience—into our ranks. We hear you, and we are working to provide updated guidance as promptly as possible. Here’s where we currently stand on additional guidance.

In January, the President issued an executive order, which we promptly acted upon. In February, I directed the Department to take corrective measures regarding the previous Department’s overreaching COVID vaccine mandate. We apologize for how it was managed, and we are committed to making it right.

Today, I am signing a memorandum that instructs the Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness to provide additional guidance to the boards reviewing these cases—specifically concerning the review of requests from service members and former service members negatively impacted by the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

This guidance will also facilitate the removal of adverse actions against service members who refused the vaccine, including upgrades to discharges that were less-than-honorable. We are focused on cleaning up these records.

We will also ensure appropriate remedies for those who have faced career setbacks as a result of the previous administration’s unlawful vaccine mandate. This original executive order addresses the unfair COVID-19 vaccine mandate imposed on our warfighters.

We acknowledge the severity of the situation. You are aware of it too. Through this guidance—which I encourage you to review directly, as it represents an update that goes beyond our previous measures—we are providing supplementary remedies for service members and veterans adversely affected by the DOD’s rescinded COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

We are committed to ensuring that we get this right, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back as soon as possible.

“Did you just refer to the ‘illegal DOD jab mandate’? Boom. You’ve caught my attention, sir. I’m raising your grade as Secretary of Defense to an A. Want an A-plus? Bring me in—recall me to active duty—and I will gladly, pro bono, come in and lead the Nuremberg 2.0 trials,” Raiklin remarked.

“The first defendants that need to face scrutiny are Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley. Why? Because they effectively conducted mutiny by expelling—removing, as you said—8,700 personnel. And let’s not forget the nearly 100,000 of us who chose to leave rather than comply with the DOD jab mandate.”
