Military personnel at a base in the south are now being segregated and forced to wear red armbands to signal that they have not been vaccinated against Covid-19.
According to multiple military sources, a Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, Louisiana, has implemented red armbands for unvaccinated troops and green armbands for vaccinated troops.
Blue bracelets are also worn by National Guard members to indicate that they have been vaccinated.
Troops “in the box” at Fort Polk who do not desire to comply with armbands due to concerns that it unduly coerces them to be vaccinated prior to FDA approval and a top-level military order are left with little recourse at this time. They are subject to discipline under the UCMJ if they refuse to obey direct orders.
“Army Troops are being forced to wear bracelets to segregate them as unvaxxed,’ Tennessee congressional candidate Robby Starbuck said on Twitter. “This should NEVER happen in America. I’m so disgusted I barely have words. I’ll be doing everything in my power to stop this lunacy. Who’s with me?” he asked.

I remember when the US was a decent country...
Well I wouldn’t have known where to start looking for leadership in the military before, but now that independent thinkers are being tagged with red-arm bands, there is a place to start looking to replace the utter idiocy that reins from the top down.
How very “perfumed prince” of the local commander decreeing this travesty. He/She will be destined for rapid and repetitive promotions.

Where does the DoD expect to find recruits in the future?
They are doing all they can to drive away any heterosexual, masculine, conservative, reasonably intelligent, patriotic young people.
The cruise lines have just made a change too...
For Carnival there were exemptions for 3 categories of unvaccinated passengers...people could request an exemption to be part of the 5% allowed by the CDC...
Children under 12 years old
Medical
Religious
last week I cruised on a carnival ship with a ‘Religious’ exemption...arrived back on Saturday...I dont know how many adults were exempted on the same sailing but there were a lot of children...
Yesterday Carnival dropped the Religious choice probably because they were not allowed by law to deny any request for exemption using that reason...
Adult passengers must have their doctor prove they cannot have the vaccine for medical reasons...then Carnival will decide if its valid...
Religious rights being denied...
Are we still in America ???
Unreal. Why would you do that. To make them feel bad. Treat them different.
I am not familiar with the reporting news site “EnVolve”.
For anyone has used it before, how much credibility does this website have?
They have some incredible headlines there:
*40 CIA point guns at 11 y/o girl because her parents attended the Jan. 6th rally.
*Man arrested last week for threatening the president, says CIA ‘chose’ him and even built his bomb.
Is this site given to exaggeration, or taking things out of context just for more ‘clicks’?
Both incidents are possible, knowing the CIA and FBI as we do today, but I still have to wonder.
i.e. Glenn Beck and Alex Jones have both been known to ‘embellish’ a story or two.

Yes, it once was. The Left has destroyed everything that was good, decent and constructive.
Enjoy what’s left of your free speech as it too will soon be a vestige of what made this country great.
The Left is determined to control us and will use every means at their disposal to do it. Meanwhile, the Republicans watch our precipitous decline from the sidelines.
Our experiment in self government was nice while it lasted. What was unforeseen was the swift and erosive power of our cultural, moral and ethical descent.
Joe the Resident and his token are bound and determined to destroy this country. They have done nothing for the country since taking up residence but everything TO THE COUNTRY.
That was before Clinton was president. He sold out to China for campaign cash. And now China has US by the balls. China holds US Treasury bonds by the Trillions, China has 99% of US Technology via theft or forcing US companies operating in Chine to divulge all technological knowhow. China thinks long term, we think short term.
President Trump was the alternate road country chose in 2016, and would have again elected Trump if he had not under-estimated fear of American voters from the Chinese virus. Why else would Americans jab themselves voluntarily with an experimental vaccine now approaching 200 million Americans before end of 2021.
Instead of saying “it is just another flu and will die away in summer”, all he had to say was “I feel your pain”, and he wins in a landslide over Biden.
I hope DeSantis will not repeat Trump’s mistake with covid.
It’s time to find an island far away from the US coastline and watch the country burn.......
How do we get a red wristband? I want one
