The Marine Corps on Thursday announced that, as of February 16, 640 Marines have been discharged for not complying with the Biden administration’s coronavirus vaccine mandate.
“To date, 640 Marines have been separated from the Marine Corps with the vaccine refusal discharge code,” the service announced in a release.
That figure is up from 566 Marines discharged as of last week and brings the total number of troops discharged so far to more than 1,000.
The Marine Corps has by far discharged the most service members for not complying with the vaccine mandate.
There appeared to be no change in the number of Marines, active and reservists, who opted to get the vaccine last week, leaving an estimated at least 9,000 Marines who are unvaccinated.
The Marine Corps also said in its release that it approved three more requests for religious accommodation since last week, for a total of six approved out of 3,595 requests.
The service did not provide any information about why those three additional requests were approved.
There are 1,007 approved administrative or medical exemptions, according to the service.
In a recent letter to Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), the Marine Corps said it approved the first three requests for Marines who were on terminal leave or in the process of leaving the Marine Corps already, as reported by Breitbart News.

All the really stupid ones are still in.
Healthy guys that won’t get AIDS.
Brandon gives reasons for China, Russia, and Muslim nations to celebrate.
So only 6 people out of 3,595 got a religious approval?
Seems like a complete violation of the 1st Amendment.
*shakeshead*
Pathetic.
Insanity.
Biden and Democrats can never take away their honor.
“To date, 640 Marines have been separated from the Marine Corps with the vaccine refusal discharge code,” the service announced in a release.

I’m sure it will be super easy to replace highly trained military personnel. Barely an inconvenience.
All the really stupid ones are still in.
They just let in 1.8 million illegals in the last 12 months.
Go find some new Marines in that group.
I wonder what caveat is attached to that code. This is going to court, especially if there’s any disparity between the UNIFORMED SERVICES.
It’s as if Brandon wants to gut the military so the Peoples’ Liberation Army can take over without opposition.
But that couldn’t possibly be.
Religious exemptions shouldn’t apply.
Applying religious exemptions demonstrates how serious they ain’t.
I would bet they all know how to drive a truck.

“I was thinking all the cowards are still in.”
I think you are more accurate in your reasoning.
The enemies of America, oth foreign and domestic, rejoice.
