Service Members Can Return—IF They Accept THIS

>> Continued From the Previous Page <<

It wasn’t until President Trump returned to power and issued an executive order in January that real justice began to take shape. Trump’s order was straightforward: bring those patriots back.

“Former service members … are now receiving letters of apology from the department in the mail, along with instructions on how they can pursue returning to service,” Dill confirmed.

According to Dill, troops who were kicked out against their will would be eligible for back pay. But there’s a catch—those who the military claims “voluntarily separated” are being denied that compensation. Regardless of how they exited, all are supposed to be reinstated at their previous rank and salary. They have until April 1, 2026, to notify the military if they want to come back.

That all sounds reasonable—until you see what’s happening behind the scenes.

While the Army and Navy have begun the outreach process to former members, the Air Force, Air National Guard, and Space Force are requiring former troops to sign what amounts to a loyalty oath—one that many see as completely false.

According to Just the News, these service members must sign a form admitting they left “voluntarily” and “without coercion” in order to qualify for reentry. And that requirement comes directly from the language of Trump’s executive order:

“Allow any service members who provide a written and sworn attestation that they voluntarily left the service or allowed their service to lapse according to appropriate procedures, rather than be vaccinated under the vaccine mandate, to return to service with no impact on their service status, rank, or pay.”

But that clause is now being used as a weapon against those who resisted the mandate and were effectively forced out. And some veterans are refusing to play along with the Pentagon’s narrative.

“I talked to several clients who were forced out,” said attorney R. Davis Younts, who represents multiple affected veterans. “They have no interest in signing the document,” he continued. “They don’t care much about back pay, but they are not going to sign a false statement just to come back in.”

Younts also raised red flags about what these forms really mean. Signing them could cause vets to forfeit rightful promotions or financial compensation they were denied due to the mandate.

“If I have clients who I believe have a legitimate claim to rectify an error in justice that occurred—like they should’ve been promoted but weren’t, or were not allowed to reenlist over the vaccine because of an injunction pending—I’d have a hard time advising them to sign it,” Younts explained. “They’re waiving a lot, saying they left voluntarily, and waiving the opportunity to be compensated for the loss of promotion and backpay.”

He also made a chilling accusation: this may be a coordinated effort to quietly sabotage Trump’s efforts to do right by these patriots.

“I’m optimistic that senior leadership and officials that I talked to at the Pentagon understand and are sympathetic to these concerns and want to address them,” Younts said. “But I’m seeing a level of malicious compliance in an attempt to stop, slow roll, or make an effort to make reinstatement meaningless for most people impacted by COVID.”

So there it is—another round of Pentagon stonewalling that reeks of political spite. President Trump handed the military an opportunity to correct one of the most disgraceful episodes in recent memory. Instead of embracing it, the Biden-era Pentagon is twisting the process into a paperwork nightmare, effectively shutting the door on the same heroes they once kicked to the curb.

If the Biden administration had any real interest in justice, they’d let these troops back in with dignity—not force them to rewrite history.
