Pete Hegseth just announced that thousands of troops who were fired over the "experimental" COVID vaccine will be "apologized to and reinstated with pay and rank."

Absolutely huge news.

These are some of the best troops we’ve ever had with unshakable courage to do what’s right. pic.twitter.com/3hntqFHC73

As it should be. These heroes were robbed of their careers and possible retirements because they refused to take a vaccine they did not need. These men and women were mostly very young and in good health, and most had already had COVID and built up antibodies.

One of the great injustices our Nation has ever committed against our service members. This must happen! https://t.co/NyoRrTA15r

It was total disrespect to the people who serve us. 

What those troops need is guaranteed medical care for the rest of their lives without having to wait 20+ years for the US government to admit it poisoned them. There are Veterans from every campaign still waiting for their medical claims to be approved. We can not keep doing…

It is an excellent first move.

Big win for restoring the warrior ethos in our military. 🇺🇸

It's important we show our military service men and women how much they are valued in America again.
