"As of today, unvaccinated soldiers can not take a pass and can not take Leave (which is earned from time served). And, according to our source, unvaccinated soldiers are now considered non-deployable."

They have to consider the least risk to the most persons.

Okay. I will play along with your theory. And pose this question: So why do individual soldiers/sailors get to say “Gimme a d!ck”, “Gimme a veejay”? or “Gimme some breasts”?

Your “least risk to the most persons” standard is not going to be able to survive logic.
Discrimination Military Style....
Hope they contact their congress critters...
Rand Paul on the KY side....

What in the h%$# are you talking about, and how in the h%$# does it relate to taking vaccines IN THE MILITARY.
The old one was running pushups and situps. The new one adds a bunch of stuff like deadlift, some sort of sprint, a medicine ball fling, and other odd things they probably got from CrossFit.
If the left csn do this with a virus vaccine.. if they had the medical field .. your doctor and/or your insurance...youd be told whether you live or die. Medical treatment could be denied..
Although I'm certainly no expert in military law it seems possible that the Commander has the authority to do this.
The difference is those vaccines were FDA approved and tested rigorously for years. This vaccine is being dispersed under Emergency Use Authorization and has only been tested for 6 months. Apples & oranges IMO.
I think there are a lot of things that are optional in civilian life that are not optional to active duty military. I think vaccines have long been one of those things.
However, given then science, if I were the DOD, I would not consider a vaccine as needed for any person who has recovered from a Covid-19 illness. Recent studies have shown their Convid-19 antibody count statistically equal to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines and a little better than the J&J and Aztra Zenaca versions.
But yes, given the conditions of military living, I don’t think waiting for herd immunity inside the military is prudent.
But agian, they are not civilians.
“The difference is those vaccines were FDA approved and tested rigorously for years. This vaccine is being dispersed under Emergency Use Authorization and has only been tested for 6 months. Apples & oranges IMO.”
I understand that difference. I can also see the military brass, given their responsibilities and priorities, not thinking it necessarily prudent to wait for regular FDA approval, at this point in time. If conditions, and any evidence comes along to change that, they are always able to change that position.

he needs to be removed immediately....
It’s Fake News.
“McGee said he and his staff are considering a range of options, including limited range of travel and increased reporting requirements for soldiers; however, no final decisions have been made as to restrictions.”

Wuli, the vaccine is OPTIONAL for military members. You think it is okay for a local commander to restrict a service member to base for not taking a vaccine that is OPTIONAL by DOD regulation? If it were mandatory then the service member would have no choice and would face disciplinary action under the UCMJ. This vaccine is experimental and OPTIONAL and the military members are facing disciplinary action without any process.
Those were approved and time tested vaccines, not experimental compounds.
If that’s true, can this be considered an unlawful order?
All of the real combat soldiers ready for mobilization received vaccines that were less “experimental” than the COVID vaccines now in people for 14 months. But the vaccines worked, conspiracy theories and attempts to get free money for nonexistent problems notwithstanding.
