I was shocked when I read the headline; not that troops were declining to take the vaccine but that were allowed a choice.

When I was in it was; "Yes sir!"

Apparently since the vaccine is 'experimental', Congress gave the military an opt-out option.

Now some politicians want it to be mandatory.

Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., a retired Army flight surgeon who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, objected to Kelly's proposal, saying that "full-blown research" needed to be done before "we saddled our warriors with an experimental medication."

"Legislation was passed to prevent the use of any experimental medication on an active-duty soldier. ... I think it's a bad idea to change it," Green said.

Well there’s secdef austin’s key to the racist subversive in the military. If they’re climate deniers as well, kick ‘m out.

‘...but the high rate of troops turning it down has lawmakers voicing grave concerns.’

great; now we can all look forward to another two years of masks and social distancing...

In other news, almost one third of the military isn’t fully retarded.

Well, it looks like Sec Austin has his first group to purge from the ranks because they’re all probably supporters of President Trump, the USA, the Flag, and are Conservative. If they weren’t, if they were god obedient liberals they would just fall in line and wait to have them put the air gun against their arm.

About time our soldiers are given a choice. I was given no choice when I received experimental Anthrax and a crap-load of who-knows-what!? Many years later, I am still suffering some side effects...

Given that for the most part the military are young and healthy, why would they need the jab?

What shocks this retired Army Officer is that in spite of current trends, some of the troops still think for themselves. Stand by for them to be the first targets of their new political commissars.

Just another way to thin out Whitey from the Military (making it mandatory).

There are serious questions as to how the vaccine will affect future fertility and whether it will spur later auto-immune disorders. Seems unfair to ask a young person who has almost an 0% chance of becoming seriously ill due to a Covid infection to gamble with their future due to an over-zealous vaccine crusade based on fear rather than science.

Odd. I never had anyone ASK me. Not about Anthrax shots, nothing. Must be the kinder, gentler US military.

Sorry folks, but Trump was pushing these things as the greatest thing since sliced bread (Operation Warp Speed). He bears at least some responsibility for what’s happening. Doubt me? Go back and watch those idiotic daily Covid-19 briefings. You can also watch him endlessly praise Fauci and Birx, and Ventilators.

Exactly, and patently obvious to many who’ve served.

But I have a better point:

What if this virus was a catalyst for a ‘vaccine’ which serves as conduit to totally disable our military?

Based upon what I’m reading, I believe that bio-medical research has been suppressed - ala CCP - and that there is a possibility that so-called ‘conspiracy theories’ about mRNA shots and ADE vulnerability may have validity.

Only those on the cutting edge of bio research know for sure and likely are hamstrung by NDAs.

Thus we won’t know until it’s too late. I say let all military under 40 just tough it out and make the shots voluntary for >40...just the way it ought to be for genpop.

“Since the beginning of the pandemic, 150,910 U.S. service members have tested positive for COVID-19; 21 have died.” That’s a survivability rate of 99.9861. That’s practically non-existent. Especially considering they all died of other things like car crashes, accidents and cancer.
