This is what I thought about when he gave the 8000 soldiers who disobeyed vaccine mandates a pardon and reenlistment. He’s now got 8000 soldiers loyal to him because of what he did for them. It’s all quid pro quo, and that’s what makes this all scarier than it should be.

8k junior enlisted isn’t enough to fill out a division, it’s not something to be worried about in the slightest

I don't think commanders are just going to simply ingest those individuals back into their units with no questions asked. That's years of an individual who is out of regs. It would require fitness regulations and knowledge retention, security clearance, not to mention a clean piss test. Do they have to be reinstated to the work area they originally were working for? What if they moved away? Who pays for relocation costs?
If anybody knows of anyone who has gone through this process, I am wildly interested to understand how these individuals have been reinstated, and at what cost. I'm in the military, and have been for more than two decades, and do not know anybody that was nonretained due to vaccination.

How many of those are reenacting? How many of those that reenlist will make the cut again? How many.......etc. I wouldn't worry about it. They'll likely be fast tracked for shit jobs

You’re assuming loyal to the point of firing on Americans. There’s an entire order of magnitude that has to be crossed before that happens. Back pay is not the same thing.
