Army Cuts Off More Than 60K Unvaccinated Guard and Reserve Soldiers from Pay and Benefits

Some 40,000 National Guard and 22,000 Reserve soldiers who refused to be vaccinated against COVID-19 are no longer allowed to participate in their military duties, also effectively cutting them off from some of their military benefits, Army officials announced Friday.

"Soldiers who refuse the vaccination order without an approved or pending exemption request are subject to adverse administrative actions, including flags, bars to service, and official reprimands," an Army spokesperson said in a statement.

The move comes in the midst of the annual training season, during which part-time soldiers are often ordered to serve from two weeks to a month with their units for summer training exercises. Those training events are usually critical for soldiers to sharpen their military skills and for unit commanders to ensure their formations are ready to deploy if needed.

If the soldiers continue to refuse the vaccine, the consequences could be even more dire.

"In the future, Soldiers who continue to refuse the vaccination order without an exemption may be subject to additional adverse administrative action, including separation," the Army spokesperson said.

The long-term impact may mean many soldiers would be forced to leave, a devastating outcome especially in the middle of a recruiting crisis as Defense Department officials struggle to fill the ranks.

Soldiers will be allowed to come on duty and earn their pay in order to be vaccinated or to take part in separation procedures.

"We're going to give every soldier every opportunity to get vaccinated and continue their military career," Lt. Gen. Jon Jensen, director of the Army Guard, told Military.com in an emailed statement. "We're not giving up on anybody until the separation paperwork is signed and completed."

If can prove the experimental injection wrecked our military, I could see it.

Mandating an experimental shot that at best doesn't work, at worst kills you or leaves you with a life-long debilitating condition.

The smartest soldier in the room is the one that refused the Jim Jones Jab and walked away. The trust is gone. Expect a lot of soldiers, even those who took the Jim Jones Jab, to depart at the first opportunity.

The Army brass painted themselves into a corner; if they rescind the illegal diktat, those who took the Jim Jones Jab have to accept they were duped.
If they keep the illegal diktat in place, those who rightfully refused the Jim Jones Jab are discharged.

A sizeable numbers of potential recruits will never start down a military career path. (A career path that was already having trouble attracting talent). The "serve now and pension later" model is dead.

I hope they leave the army. I hope other soldiers that had the vaxx but don’t agree with this action will leave also. I know I am dreaming but....

Yep. They are being kicked out of the military, or they are not enlisting... but they are still here. Sooner or later this will matter.

But in the near term, which military would you bet on? Just for 2 examples.

Nope, Biden has been in it for himself the whole get go. Never done one thing that has benefited this country unless inadvertently.

....”..And there’s talk of a new draft to get enough men AND women to staff the army.....”

does anyone remember (of course not...that all took place many many generations ago....) the draft riots that took place, especially in New York City, during our mis-named Civil War...? yeah, sure... start drafting your sons AND daughters to fight in senseless wars overseas, far from home....

60k+ trained warriors, who are potentially willing to fight against the Great Reset.

Any doubts these 60K+ warriors had re what side to be in the Great Reset, were erased.

Also, many troopers close to or past their obligations, now know how their leaders feel about them. The smart ones will leave as soon as they can.

LOL I thought I knew which two videos you linked to before I clicked. I was right about the first one but the 2nd one was a surprise. I thought it was going to be the CCP recruiting video.

I’ll put my money on the 60k, and those like them, that are getting booted from the Nat. Guard. :)

Sooner or later stuff gets real!
