I have spent the last two years fighting to rescind the vaccine mandate for our servicemembers, and we did just that,\u201d said Rep. McClain. \u201cWe also ensured no Red Flag laws were included and no language to draft our daughters. On top of that, we stopped the Democrats from putting more wokeness into the military. Additionally, this bill gives our soldiers a pay raise and helps modernize our military to help combat China. Overall, the NDAA is a win for our military, our country, and our national security.\u201d\n\nRep. McClain secured several vital wins in the NDAA for Michigan.
