During a townhall with President Trump in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on Friday night, former Green Beret John asked the pressing questions on the minds of many service members affected by the vaccine mandate.
He inquired about how the military can recover from the damage inflicted by the Biden-Harris administration and how military leaders responsible for these policies will be held accountable.
John: Good evening, Mr. President. I’m John Frankman. I was a Special Forces Green Bray who was forced out of the military because of the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
President Trump: That’s good stuff, right? That’s good. That’s good.
John: The Biden-Harris DOD COVID-19 vaccine mandate was very damaging to the military. It forced thousands of service members out, and thousands do not want to join now.
The Biden-Harris DOD has the lowest recruiting in modern history, and now they’re pushing more woke training. So how do you plan to repair the military from the damage that was done and hold military leaders accountable?
President Trump: So I want to have them come back into the military with pay. And they’ve been talking about that, but it never happened. They never did what they said they were going to do.
They should have never been a mandate. That should have never happened. You should have been given choice, as we say. We want choice in education, and we want a choice there, too. And that should have never happened. And we’ve lost some of our best people in the military, too. Did you leave? Did you leave? Did you ever take the vaccine?
John: I never did, sir.
President Trump: So you wanted choice, yeah. Would you go back in if they were able to?
John: As long as there’s accountability, potentially.
President Trump: No, there would be accountability. It’s right.
They’re going to fire their asses.
We don’t want to lose this guy. He’s central casting. We want to get him back in. Yeah, we’re going to take care of it. I hope you do come back, or I hope you do very well outside, to be honest. Wherever you are, I just want you to do well. But we’re going to get a lot of people coming back.
They should have never had the mandate. The mandate was a big mistake, and they treated people terribly. Okay? Thank you very much. Great. You look great. Thank you.

In January, 231 current and former service members from various branches of the U.S. Armed Forces united to sign the “Declaration of Military Accountability.” Led by Commander Robert A. Green Jr. of the U.S. Navy, this document represents a pivotal moment in military history, demanding reforms and accountability within the Armed Forces.
During his remarks at the Crown Arena in Fayetteville, North Carolina, President Trump addressed the controversial renaming of Fort Bragg, which drew a crowd of over 5,000. Fort Bragg, historically named after Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg and home to airborne and special operations forces, was renamed Fort Liberty last June in response to calls for change.
Trump expressed his strong opposition to the name change, stating, “We did win two world wars from Fort Bragg… This is no time to be changing names. We’re going to do everything we can to get it back. We’re going to bring our country back.” The audience responded with thunderous applause and chants of “Fight, fight, fight!”
