Bradley Miller, a former U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, agreed. In October 2021, he was relieved of his battalion command within the 101st Airborne Division for refusing the COVID shot after 19 years of service.
“The memo explicitly states that the offer of reinstatement with back pay only applies to those who were involuntarily separated,” he also noted. “This process for reinstatement does not offer back pay to the much larger group that was so-called voluntarily separated.”
The word “voluntary” is “problematic” for both Frankman and Miller. “For those who left the military over the COVID-19 shot mandate, did they really leave voluntarily?” Miller offered. “No, I think the argument can be made that they too were forced out.”
Some estimate there could be tens of thousands of service members who were coerced and threatened with dishonorable discharge, court martial, removal of benefits, demotion, and more.
“So did they leave service voluntarily?” NO
“While the current plan does have some remedies, which include reinstatement and back pay for those who were involuntarily separated, this only applies to a very small group of people,” Miller argued. “There’s a group that is at least 10 times that size of those who were ‘voluntarily separated’ that have not been offered an appropriate remedy,” he asserted.
“And what about service members who were harmed by the shot and are no longer medically fit to carry out their military responsibilities?”
In Frankman’s opinion, “The Department of Defense (DOD) must address the many service members who were medically injured from the COVID shot by providing payments and medical coverage for life.”
