Pentagon to reinstate troops discharged for refusing COVID vaccine

US' Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced that the Pentagon is "welcoming back" service members who were discharged earlier for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine. He added that a COVID-19 Reinstatement and Reconciliation Task Force will be established to bring service members back. Service members who don't want to return will be provided with "unearned bonuses", Hegseth further said.
