SEN. MARSHALL AMENDMENT TO PREVENT DISHONORABLE DISCHARGES FOR UNVACCINATED SERVICEMEMBERS INCLUDED IN NDAA

Statement

U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. released the following statement after his amendment to prevent the Administration from dishonorably discharging servicemembers for choosing to not get the COVID vaccine was included in the final text of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

"As a former army doctor, I support the vaccine, but I also support those who are defending our freedoms and have carefully weighed their decision on whether to receive the COVID vaccine," said Senator Marshall. "Simply put, a dishonorable discharge treats our heroes as felons. But, our American heroes deserve better. I look forward to the NDAA being brought to a vote in the Senate so my colleagues and I can provide our service men and women with the medical freedom they deserve with its passage."
