Quick takeaways

Reinstating military personnel who refused COVID-19 vaccines is a positive step, but broader systemic accountability is crucial for all affected individuals.

The lack of constitutional education for military personnel poses a significant risk, as it undermines their ability to challenge unlawful orders and uphold their oath.

Deep dives

Restitution and Accountability for Military Service Members

The recent announcement to reinstate military service members dismissed for refusing COVID-19 vaccines raises significant concerns about broader accountability and the treatment of all personnel affected by the mandate. While back pay is a positive step, it does not address the issues faced by those who resigned to avoid termination or who suffered discrimination during their service. Many feel betrayed and have not received adequate support for the public shaming and lost benefits they experienced. This situation underscores the need for systemic change in how military leaders uphold constitutional rights and the ethical treatment of service members regarding health mandates.

In this post-inaugural episode of The Feds, we take the opportunity to hear from a few past guests regarding how the US Government systems can be dismantled and carefully pieced back together to ensure that the rights of all Americans are protected.

President Donald Trump has vowed to reinstate with back pay all military service members who were fired over refusing the Covid-19 shots. But what about fixing the root of the problem? Where’s the accountability? How can we make sure this doesn’t happen again? And what about the federal employees who faced the same discrimination and persecution?

Alongside our podcast guests, Feds For Freedom is calling for common sense to return to the federal workforce in these capacities:

Senior military officials who broke the law should be called out of retirement, court-martialed, and stripped of their retirement benefits.
All US government officials who sought to coerce employees should be placed under investigation.
Require all who swear an oath upholding the Constitution to receive Constitutional education.
Inspectors General should be placed outside the agencies which they are assigned to investigate.
Strengthen the whistleblower protections so that they actually protect the whistleblower, not the institution.
Allow veterans who received vaccines as part of their military requirements and were disabled to claim vaccination as a Toxic Risk Exposure Activity to qualify for VA disability benefits.

Our podcast guests this week include Navy Commander Rob Green, Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Carolyn Rocco, Army Major Mandy Feindt, Sonny Fleeman, and Feds for Freedom President Marcus Thornton.
