Only 43 of the over 8,300 US service members discharged during the COVID-19 mandate under the Biden-Harris administration have returned to the military. The issue seems to be one on Donald Trump’s mind on the campaign trail.
“Kamala and Crooked Joe purged 8,000 servicemembers from our military for refusing their COVID vaccine mandate,” Trump said during a campaign stop in North Carolina last week.
“We did not want a mandate. The mandate - you just can’t do that. I will rehire every patriot who was fired from the military with an apology and with backpay. They will get their backpay and an apology from our government,” Trump added.
For some reason, searches for this information regarding Trump's comments are not fruitful on CNN or MSNBC.

Perhaps they are still busy waiting for a Kamala Harris' press conference where she answers questions.
Joe Biden mandated vaccination for federal employees through an executive order in September of 2021.
