It’s a win, and it’s not. Big picture, this was not their plan. The goal was vax passports, digital control, 99% acceptance, and a never ending series of mandatory vaccines anytime they chose. Forcing it on the military was an easy way to immediately get the numbers up, and remove persons prone to resistance or critical thinking.
They failed. Society as a whole resisted in far greater numbers than they accounted for. This includes the military. Society is also resisting the DEI agenda far more than they expected, and this includes the military. The clot shot and bullshit DEI has been killing their recruiting for 3 years in a row now. They are getting desperate.
Attempting to get discharged members back in is an obvious response to their abysmal recruiting numbers. Just like their newest all white male army ad. We can expect this to continue. They will do everything they can to reverse the image they have created for themselves in the past 3 years. It’s just an image.
If I had gotten discharged badly I would apply to get that corrected. An honorable discharge from a good job in the military carries as much weight as a college degree, sometimes more. My company prefers tech rate veterans over college grads. We are not the only ones. Of course I wouldn’t be signing back up.
A real win would be firing of every single flag officer who was on board with the policies that they are now reversing. A public apology to anyone they kicked out over this dumb shit. Accountability.
It’s better than nothing. My brothers can now get their correct honorable discharge. They have had to publicly beg for them to come back. This obviously was not their plan, and they don’t want to be doing it. But it doesn’t mean they have changed.
There is a purge coming in the pentagon. Just like everything else, the people had to be shown the truth. How bad the officer class has become. How out of step with both the military and the public. Baby steps.
