Puh-LEEZ come back! Sure, but apologies and real change comes hard to these folks:
The letters are “not a fix” to the vaccine mandate, they are a result of the military “having a retention and recruitment crisis,” Younts added.
He also said that there was “no provision being made for back pay” or “time in service credit.” As a result, former servicemembers who would return to the military may have gaps in their career that would negatively affect them for promotions and retirement.
Ultimately, the letters are “not an apology” or an “attempt to make things right,” Younts said.
