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."

The far left is scrubbing the military, so they can count on the ones that are left.

The service [Army] said 97 percent of active-duty soldiers have taken at least one dose of a vaccine...

Stop. Whether out of ill-will or ignorance, do not let the enemy control the narrative.

The Army claimed there were 8,000 to 10,000 "unvaccinated" troops yet it appears the number is more than 120,000.

These vaccines are not experimental.

They're not vaccines, regardless of what the CDC changed their definition to, and yes, they're experimental.

The order to take the vaccines are legal.

No. At a minimum the order is unlawful because the Jim Jones Jab doesn't work. That's the definition of Fraud, Waste, and Abuse as per DoD regulation. Beyond that, it's unlawful to order military members to take an experimental treatment.

Troops that refuse to follow legal orders should be removed from duty.

Says you and the consulting firm that bills the taxpayer for your propaganda on social media. The orders are not legal and those who disobey them should be promoted. Those who gave the orders should be removed from duty to cells in Leavenworth.

Either follow orders or resign.

"Just following orders" didn't work at Nuremberg I and won't work at Nuremberg II.

Just wait until the booster mandate hits this fall. Many have vowed not to get boosted, and the booster is required to be deployable in many instances already. It will be a fixed deadline for all services as well, probably November 1st. And it will be the new Omicron booster, those unboosted needing two doses of it.

True.

But if you call him Allen he seems to at least go away and hide for a while.

Count on them to do what? Kill civilians?

Exactly right. A lifelong parasite sucking at the government teat. He’s never done anything remotely useful in his entire adult life except be a grifter and rip all of us off. The entire political class makes me sick with the exception of very few - Meadows, MTG, Boebert, Trump, Cruz, Nunes, Stefanik, and a few others.

“And thereโ€™s talk of a new draft to get enough men AND women to staff the army.

The woke will forget all about protesting for abortion if that happens.
