Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy introduced a bill reinstating troops dismissed over the Covid-19 vaccine mandate. The Service Restoration Act protects military members from “adverse actions” against them for choosing not to receive the Covid vaccine. Those discharged would be considered “honorable,” allowing the individuals to receive veteran benefits.
From Breitbart:
The bill defines “adverse action” as including involuntary separation, demotion, discipline, retaliation, disparate treatment, a requirement to wear a mask, residing in sub-standard housing, or enduring sub-standard conditions, travel restrictions, and deployment restrictions. The bill would also reinstate troops discharged over the Biden administration’s now-repealed vaccine mandate at their former rank and pay at the time they were discharged and expunge from their records any reference to adverse actions taken against them based on their refusal to be vaccinated.
