**Frustration Mounts as Former Space Force Officer Seeks Military Reinstatement**
In a glaring example of government inefficiency, a former U.S. Space Force officer is voicing his deep frustrations over the bureaucratic hurdles preventing him and others from returning to military service.
Joshua Zermeno, who lost his military career due to refusal to comply with the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, has been fighting an uphill battle to regain his position after 13 years of honorable service.
Despite the promises made by President Donald Trump and War Secretary Pete Hegseth to restore the rights of service members affected by the vaccine mandate, Zermeno's experience suggests that the bureaucratic machinery is moving at a snail's pace—almost as if it is designed to deter service members from rejoining.
Zermeno's ordeal began shortly after he reached out to over 30 recruiters to initiate the reinstatement process. Three months later, he has faced unresponsiveness and confusion from military officials, signaling serious flaws in the Department of Defense’s reinstatement system.
The task force that was pledged back in September to streamline these applications has yet to materialize, extending the sense of frustration felt by many service members in similar circumstances.
After finally making headway through persistent outreach, Zermeno learned that his reinstatement package—comprising more than 100 pages detailing the penalties he suffered—was pending review but required a medical screening that could take another month to arrange.
This process raises essential questions about the efficiency of our military leadership in executing policies purportedly intended to protect those who stood by their principles.
The fact that the military can swiftly expel service members under a controversial mandate yet drags its feet on their reinstatement speaks volumes about the disconnect between promises made by top leaders and the reality on the ground.
Zermeno's frustration and that of others seeking reinstatement reflect a broader concern about how the government manages its commitments to its service members.
As we witness this troubling development, the call for effective leadership and accountability has never been stronger.
With Donald Trump at the helm and JD Vance as Vice President, there is renewed hope that these challenges might soon be addressed—allowing dedicated individuals like Zermeno to return to service and contribute to our nation's defense once again.
The American public will be watching closely to see if real change can finally break the barrier of bureaucratic inertia and respect the sacrifices made by these brave men and women.
