Despite the fact that the younger adults that comprise the majority of our military forces have never been at great risk from covid and the fact that getting a covid vaccination does not prevent the recipient from getting or transmitting the disease, the Biden Administration still insists that soldiers, sailors, and airmen who refuse to be vaccinated must be discharged from the service.
In testimony before the House Armed Services Committee, Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Joseph Martin predicted "a recruitment shortfall of 28,000 for the current fiscal year. This is despite raising our maximum enlistment bonus to $50,000 per enlistee and a $10,000 add-on for those willing to show up for basic training within 30 days. Our armed forces are weakening."
Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La) charged that "the Biden Administration is destroying the readiness of our Armed Forces by creating an unnecessary recruiting and retention shortfall, and trying to make up the difference by lowering other crucial education and fitness standards. Seeking to replace experienced troops with high school dropouts and former prison inmates because of a useless and unnecessary vaccination mandate is stupid."
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin slammed "Rep. Johnson's insubordination. President Biden is our Commander-in-Chief (CIC). If our CIC wants everybody vaccinated then everybody must get vaccinated. It doesn't matter whether the vaccinations are effective or not. The primary virtue of a soldier is obedience to his superiors. He will be asked to do many things that are more dangerous and stupid than submitting to a useless injection. In this regard, obedient ex-cons and high school dropouts are preferable to disobedient vaccine refusers."
In related news, Member of European Parliament Christine Anderson declared that "the vaccine campaign will go down as the biggest scandal in medical history. Moreover, it will be known as the biggest crime committed on humanity. At great cost, an inadequately tested dangerous drug was forced on an ignorant and credulous population. After a year-and-a-half of this obnoxious campaign we discover that those receiving the vaccines are more at risk than those who have not. The perpetrators of this crime must be held accountable."
