Army Cuts Off More Than 60K Unvaccinated Guard and Reserve Soldiers from Pay and Benefits
Yahoo ^ | 07/08/22 | Steve Beynon

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."

Five divisions of men evaporated.

60k Americans who don’t cave under pressure.

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

First thing I thought as well.

If you like your Social Security, you can keep your Social Security... if you submit to the terminator vaccines.

That is very concerning. They could even do pensions, imo.

Expect a lot of soldiers, even those who took the Jim Jones Jab, to depart at the first opportunity.

Not only the Army, but all branches of the military. I can attest firsthand that many Air Force personnel either have left, or are leaving, the first chance they get. Biden is destroying the military, and probably loving every bit of it.

Fedgov is a bureaucratic machine and such a machine sees any challenge to its authority as a threat. Fedgov *will* be stupid enough to then terminate these soldiers because they won’t get a vaccine that doesn’t work for a variant that not longer exists. It lacks rationality, because Fedgov is not rational.

This has been posted at least three or four times.
The answer is still the same.
These vaccines are not experimental.
The order to take the vaccines are legal.
Troops that refuse to follow legal orders should be removed from duty.
Either follow orders or resign.

Many decades ago, the government threatened some cut to Social Security. There were newscasts at the time of angry senior surrounding the automobiles of members of Congress and literally rocking those cars. Congress backed off.

You never want to piss off old people, they have little to live for and might turn right vicious.

Pfizer continues to play a very cute sleight of hand game.

Comirnaty is the drug that was approved for use. However, Pfizer still continues to distribute the EUA version of the drug that exempts Pfizer from liability.

All training operations will seamlessly increase their classes by thousands of students overnight. Should only take a few weeks to train enough troops to make up any shortfall. Vaxxed recruits are lined up for blocks to replace those who were kicked out. Now can they tell us the one about Cinderella.

Depleting 60k men out of service is a pretty goid start, imo.

The service [Army] said 97 percent of active-duty soldiers have taken at least one dose of a vaccine, leaving roughly 9,500 members who have not taken the vaccine, including 5,921 who have requested temporary exemptions and 3,611 who have simply refused to take the vaccine... source /Jan. '22

Seems like the regulars are doing a pretty good job of following orders.
