Without intervention, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Brandon Budge will be separated from the Army on September 1 for his objection to the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 shot in 2021, which was determined by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to be “unlawful as implemented.”
In March, with the hope of restoring his career, the Black Hawk helicopter pilot was advised by Gen. Randy George, the Army’s Chief of Staff, to submit his request for relief to the Board for Correction of Military Records (BCMR). And at the time, the general promised he would “get it fixed,” CW3 told The Gateway Pundit in a previous article. But instead, his application was denied on May 22.
Following CW3 Budge’s interview, J.M. Phelps emailed a letter directly to Gen. George on June 5 with a request for comment. On June 11, Phelps also emailed a letter directly to Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll, calling his attention to the letter sent to Gen. George and more. The inquiries were ignored by both officials.
