Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) on Thursday wrote a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asking him to look into the case highlighted by Breitbart News of an Army Black Hawk pilot facing discharge next month stemming from the Biden administration's vaccine mandate nearly four years ago. The post Rep. Andy Biggs Urges Defense Secretary to Look Into Army Pilot Being Kicked Out over Vaccine Mandate appeared first on Breitbart.
Representative Andy Biggs urged Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to investigate the case of Army Black Hawk pilot CW3 Brandon Budge, who faces discharge due to the Biden administration's vaccine mandate, despite allegations of a false vaccination record. Biggs argues the mandate was unconstitutional and service members shouldn't be punished years later, especially for issues outside their control. Budge received a career-damaging reprimand for refusing vaccination and is scheduled for discharge despite a Trump executive order allowing re-enlistment for those affected by the mandate. The Army Chief of Staff is reportedly reviewing Budge's case and all vaccine mandate-related reprimands.
