[Shawn Bezwiechin @Uncle_Bez]

This is a short reel from an interview in March of 2025 with @MCBashaw on the Freedom Fighter 1776 podcast! @SecWar deserves credit for eliminating the flu jab mandate and putting the health of @DeptofWar personnel before pharmaceutical profits! This was a common sense decision!

[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force.

We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.

[Tracy Beanz @tracybeanz]

Sorry, but this is absolutely INSANE. I’ve seen a few of these now. Share this and raise more awareness. Someone needs to help these people.

[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

The Biden administration’s experimental COVID-19 vaccine mandate was wrongfully forced onto our warfighters.

It was unjust, and we are doing EVERYTHING we can to make it right.

[SincerelyHeld @KacyJDixon]

One year ago.

[John S McAfee @JohnSMcAfee]

.@SecWar, today, in Congress, under oath, said those purged [for fulfilling our duty to disobey unlawful orders surrounding COVID19] are the BEST!

"Those soldiers and troops of conscience who had to make that choice—we think they are the BEST troops of our force."

🚨 @SECNAV Issues Guidance Putting the Navy Bureaucracy on Notice

In the 15 months since @POTUS issued his COVID reinstatement executive order, the lawyers, leaders, and our service branches have attempted to slow-roll, resist, and minimize the response required by @SECWAR.

Mr. Hung Cao, has changed all that while putting the resistors on notice with a single - and powerful - message to the force. This message cuts through the bureaucracy in ways we have not seen in many years.

While the guidance is great for those harmed, the message serves as a much more significant indicator to the force that Mr. Cao is here to act boldly, to prioritize principle over bureaucratic consensus, and to destroy the status quo.

As you recall, the military executed a rapid and herculean effort to discharge service members as quickly as possible over the COVID-19 mandates. Many of those discharged over the COVID-19 mandates were given only days to move out of base housing before being unceremoniously (and involuntarily) discharged.

The Institution grants serious offenders (even alleged murderers) months to properly walk through all legal processes so that their Constitutional rights are protected. But for those who could not take a COVID-19 shot, these legal standards and constitutional principles were thrown out the window while the bureaucracy moved at speeds that it had never moved before.

After being ordered to reverse these discharges in January of 2025, subordinate military commanders had somehow lost that once readily-available rapid-response capability.

Now, 15 months after the reinstatement executive order, the bureaucratically-induced struggle session was finally ended within the Navy by decisive action from Mr. Hung Cao.

The services had attempted to minimize restoration to only those who could demonstrably prove they were INVOLUNTARILY discharged for not taking the shot. This meant that only about 8000 service members had the potential of receiving backpay, service credit time, back bonuses, advancements, promotions via special selection boards, or repayment of incurred medical expenses.

However, by our estimates over 90,000 service members left “voluntarily” via either coercion, letting their contracts expire, resigning, or being denied requests for reenlistment. If the bureaucracy had their way, none of these individuals would have had access to those additional benefits of reinstatement.

For the Navy, Mr. Cao reversed this narrow interpretation, stating that even those who “resigned or departed from service upon the expiration of their service commitment solely due to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate” are eligible for these benefits so long as they provide a documented “demonstration of the unjust nature of their discharge.” Mr. Cao then lists numerous ways a service member can prove the injustice.

The government added insult to injury in 2021 and 2022 by attempting to recoup bonuses from the service members they were kicking out. I had a friend who had received $70k as a department head signing bonus, except that after denying his religious accommodation, they then refused to allow him to execute his PCS orders to his department head job.

They then claimed that my friend was in breach of contract for not executing his orders (which our leaders themselves precluded), and then slapped a $70k debt on him that they sent to collections after he had processed out.

The lawyers and subordinate leaders in the Pentagon resisted a reversal of this policy, but again, Mr. Cao is having none of that. In his message he stated that “Service Members unjustly discharged… who were required to repay unearned portions of their bonus, incentive pay or similar benefit upon discharge, and who are NOT seeking reinstatement, may be entitled to discharge of debt.”

The Board for the Correction of Naval Records (BCNR) attempted to interpret the guidance from POTUS and SECWAR as narrowly as possible. They issued nearly 100% denials, in whole or in part, of the first batch of COVID-19 reinstatement requests after the executive order.

Mr. Cao is not putting up with this narrow approach that directly contradicts commander’s intent. In his message, Mr. Cao has directed that “in reviewing requests for reinstatement and/or relief for negatively impacted current or former service members, the Board for the Correction of Naval Records (BCNR) should EXERCISE BROAD DISCRETION, consistent with references and this ALNAV.”

Furthermore, Mr. Cao is holding the BCNR accountable to report their decisions to all proper entities, to the newly established COVID CELL, and to the petitioners themselves. He also stated that any full or partial denial of a COVID-related BCNR request would be subject to review by ASN (M&RA), Mr. @benkohlmann, for final action.

Of significance for COVID cases, the BCNR can no longer hide behind long processing times that often extend longer than 18 months.

Mr. Cao has directed that the BCNR “provide bi-weekly reports to the DON COVID Reinstatement and Reconciliation Task Force (R2TF) of the status of requests for relief”… which will “include docket number, petitioner’s name, service, current or pre-discharge rank and active or reserve status, discharge date and characterization” and the dates throughout the process for all BCNR actions from petitioner submission until final adjudication.

Last, but by no means least, is the care that Mr. Cao is directing our leaders to have for the service members that they had harmed. With the same speed and precision that they were coerced, abused, and discharged, the bureaucracy must now hand-walk each case through the reinstatement process.

Mr. Cao directed that “the Navy and Marine Corp will ensure concierge treatment of all current and former service members who seek a return to service and record reconciliation.” He uses the word concierge 4 times in his message to emphasize the importance of the individual care that must be taken with each of our brothers and sisters in arms.

He also directed that “this streamlined, expedited process will include a warm handoff at each stage until the reinstated Service Member receives applicable reimbursements, advancement or promotion, and ultimate duty station or reserve unit assignment.”

It is not hard to decipher the significance of the concierge treatment during the reinstatement process or why this treatment is so intentionally directed by Mr. Cao.

After Biden-era leaders (the vast majority of whom are still in service) violated constitutional rights by participating in rubber stamped denials of thousands of religious, administrative, and medical accommodation requests, the concierge treatment of the very same harmed service members is more than poetic justice…

It is an overt demonstration that for the United States Military, just as it is with each individual, true repentance is the only path to redemption.”

[Under Secretary of War Anthony J. Tata @USW_PR_HONTata]

Today, our @DoW_USW_PR team is spotlighting Lucas Warzyniak, another warrior who was involuntarily separated in September 2022 after refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine.

Following the release of EO 14184, First Lieutenant Warzyniak worked with the @USArmy COVID-19 Reinstatement Team to pursue reinstatement and return to service. With support from the reinstatement team, and under the leadership of @SecWar & @SecArmy, he was reinstated and promoted to the rank of Captain with an effective date of rank of May 2023. CPT Warzyniak received full relief to include backpay/promotion, entitlements, benefits, constructive service credit, and new MOS as a Space Operations Officer.

CPT Warzyniak shared, “Military reinstatement is more than a return to service; it is a divine calling to fulfill a greater purpose.”

Welcome back CPT Warzyniak. Hooah!

[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force.

We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.

[Shawn Bezwiechin @Uncle_Bez]

This is the news we’ve all been waiting for! What a blessing for the Military to no longer have to receive an unnecessary toxic jab every year!

[Chaplain America @RealChapAmerica]

🚨 Reported that flu shots will be voluntary for all Active and Reserve members in the @DeptofWar

Haven't seen official channels share this yet, but this looks legitimate and many have been advocating for this for a long time. Praise be to God and thanks to them and @SecWar @PeteHegseth for furthering medical and religious freedom!

[Rob Green @RobGreen1010]

🚨Heavy Handed removal of retiree benefits:

A retired LCDR was just banned from all Navy bases and facilities in the Hampton Roads area for accidentally having a personal weapon in his vehicle at the base gate checkpoint.

The retired naval officer has a Concealed Carry Permit. He also followed all directions provided to him by base security while voluntarily discussing his CC permit and noting that he had mistakenly had the weapon in his vehicle.

Security suggested he turn around and come back without the weapon. He did so gladly and immediately returned back through the same gate (without the weapon of course) while the same security guards offered apologies for the inconvenience.

The subsequent ban was an unexpected shock and a grave heavy-handed response to an honest mistake.

The JAGs and Commander at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek have unilaterally removed all retiree benefits (except retiree pay) from an honorable man. He can no longer attend base functions, work a job on the base, use MWR facilities, or the commissary (military grocery store).

Based on Secretary @PeteHegseth’s desire to ensure Second Amendment rights are defended by our Institutions, and that those exercising these rights are not unlawfully weaponized against, I pray this ban is quickly reversed.

[InfantryDort @infantrydort]

They’re tripling down on DEI in the military again.

Stay frosty. We’re not out of the woods yet.

The orcs are regrouping in Mordor.

Merit hangs by a thread.

We must ensure it’s here to stay.

[Rob Green @RobGreen1010]

As one of the officers assigned by @SECNAV to execute this guidance from Secretary @PeteHegseth, I have a quick story to tell.

Last week I spoke to a young woman who had refused the shot because of fertility complications at a time when her and her husband were trying to conceive. They did successfully conceive, but not before being kicked out of the military by Navy leadership.

Life after the military had been hard on her. Her husband divorced her, left her with their two-year-old child, and she is barely making ends meet with a near-minimum wage job.

I had the great honor of sharing with her that the Navy was looking to bring her back to service. She wept on the phone with me in gratitude for the opportunity that she did not know was there before our team reached out.

We are giving her nothing that she did not already earn by her moral courage in the face of significant unlawful adversity. But in her current situation, the backpay alone will be life-changing, not to mention the steady meaningful employment and the military retirement.

It’s stories like these that make me incredibly grateful to be part of the team making these calls and bringing our brothers and sisters back into the family that should have never abandoned them in the first place.

[Shawn Bezwiechin @Uncle_Bez]

@LauraLoomer @Krow121812 @TulsiGabbard @ODNIgov You just lost all credibility you had with this post. Attacking @Krow121812 after all she has done for our country is not a good look.

[Shawn Bezwiechin @Uncle_Bez]

@Trigger_TX_ @SecWar This is the question we are all waiting on to be answered!

[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

UPDATE ON COVID-19 REINSTATEMENTS.

We are extending the Department’s “reinstatement and return to service” guidance by an ADDITIONAL YEAR, allowing our Warriors of Conscience to return through April 1, 2027.

We will continue correcting the wrongs of the Biden administration.

[Shawn Bezwiechin @Uncle_Bez]

@infantrydort Post 8/8 mandating a COVID jab in AUG 2021 when COVID was virtually gone and almost everybody had natural immunity already. I am sure it had nothing to do with the big pharma $$$ that Austin and the cronies in the last administration were receiving behind closed doors!

[InfantryDort @infantrydort]

🧵There’s a growing claim that speaking critically about the military today is “political.”

That would carry more weight if the institution itself had stayed outside domestic politics over the last several years.

It didn’t.

Let’s walk through it. 👇

[R. Davis Younts @DavisYounts]

Yes…most after having their religious freedom trampled by a broken RAR system.

[Jordan Karr @JordanLkarr]

Hey @SecWar did you know that there are dozens of military members who are on the verge of being kicked out for not getting a flu shot?

Turns out it’s not even effective (which we knew). So why do Commanders have the power to destroy an entire family’s livelihood over a dangerous substance that we should have the freedom to choose not to put in our bodies!?

[LindellTV @RealLindellTV]

🚨 “DISCOVERY COULD EXPOSE THE ENTIRE COVID CABAL.”

At the @MAHA_Institute event, LindellTV’s @alisonintheknow spoke with @IvanRaiklin about his ongoing legal battle tied to the military’s COVID vaccine mandate.

Raiklin says the case centers on former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Terry Adirim, who signed the September 2021 memo implementing the vaccine mandate for service members.

After Adirim filed a defamation lawsuit against him, Raiklin says the case is now moving into discovery - a phase he believes could reveal key communications inside the federal government.

“Imagine what we can find in communications with the Department of Defense, the FDA, and Dr. Fauci,” Raiklin said.

He argues the discovery process could help bring greater transparency and accountability surrounding decisions made during the pandemic.

“I’m focused on two things,” Raiklin said. “COVID transparency and accountability.”
