Here’s Why Some Unvaxxed Military Aren’t Taking Deal to Return Catherine Salgado

You probably can’t guess the reason why a number of former military forced out over the Biden administration‘s vaccine mandate have not taken the Trump administration deal to return.
Well over 8,000 patriotic troops were forced out of the military over the Biden administration’s harmful and unjust Covid-19 vaccine mandates. 
Whether the troops chose to leave because of the mandates or were forcibly discharged, coercion was applied. 
Unfortunately, that’s a reality someone in the Defense Department doesn’t or won’t understand, and a condition made for some separated troops is preventing them from eagerly accepting the new Trump administration deal.

Western Journal explained the dilemma:

Service members separated for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine can now re-enlist, but the Department of Defense requires some to do the impossible first... Those who were involuntarily separated would receive back pay, while those who “voluntarily” separated would not, [undersecretary Tim] Dill said. Both, however, would be reinstated with the same rank and pay as when they left….

Former members of the Air National Guard, Air Force, and Space Force must first sign a form acknowledging that they “voluntarily separated” or allowed their service to lapse, and that their “decision to separate was made freely and without coercion.”

That is simply untrue, and R. Davis Younts, a lawyer representing some vets who had to leave the military over the mandates, explained, “I talked to several clients who were forced out,” who “have no interest in signing the document,” but otherwise would “gladly come back in. They don’t care much about back pay, but they are not going to sign a false statement just to come back in.”...
