Given the level of resistance within the Air Force to the vaccine mandate, there's reason to believe that it could affect national security.
The Pentagon has issued a vaccine mandate for the military, and members of the Air Force have responded. Up to 12,000 service members have flatly stated they will refuse to be vaccinated against COVID. Air Force brass is threatening the service members with punishment up to and including dismissal from the service. The sheer number refusing the mandate brings up the problem of how to maintain readiness.
More than 90% of Air Force personnel are already partially vaccinated. Those who are not and who are refusing vaccination include pilots and aircraft maintainers. If enough of these vital positions are lost, the Air Force may find itself unable to respond in a crisis.
The Air Force does not seem to care that its draconian vaccine measure might lead to a loss of readiness. Instead, it's already presenting penalties that may be applied to service members who refuse vaccination, up to and including court-martial. Apparently, the Air Force, which is supposed to protect freedom, is willing to deny freedom to any service member who does not want to be subjected to experimental gene therapy masquerading as a vaccine.
It's not the first time the armed forces of the United States have run into trouble trying to force untested vaccines upon the troops. During the Gulf War, troops were forced to submit to anthrax vaccination until a federal judge ordered the vaccinations to stop. In 2004, U.S. district judge Emmet G. Sullivan ruled that the mandatory vaccination program was illegal, on the ground that the FDA had violated its own rules in granting emergency approval to the experimental anthrax vaccine.

It endangers national security all right, but not as much as having communists peppered throughout the government including Fake POTUS, Fake VP/Kneepad tester, RED AG, RED FIB, weaponized RED IRS...
I think damaging the military and the people in the military is the point.
the CHINESE run Pentagram left its supplies for the

Damage lies not only in the decimation of the standing military, but in the perversion of its mission, from killing enemies foreign and breaking their things, to simply giving away huge stocks of advanced weaponry and retreating with ignominy in the face of tribal savages.
The French become paragons of stalwart bravery in comparison.
Obama decided to go against 70 years of US agency and try to make Iran the preeminent power in the Persian Gulf. I can only imagine how horrible a world would be with Iran being a much more powerful North Korea both blackmailing and holding the entire civilized world as hostages to their insanity. That’s what Obama wanted.
Biden, or whoever is pulling the strings, wanted the Taliban to be a significant power. I think that Biden, or, whoever, wanted to humiliate the United States as well. Mission Accomplished.
My dad was a democrat until Reagan. He said, “I didn’t move away from the Democrats. They moved away from me.” I can’t even hold a conversation with a Democrat. In two minutes they are red faced and spitting mad. “Conversation” is pointless.
We are about to find out.
Not just the military mandate...there is an army of civilians that support the military in a very effective way.
All branches are supported by what is called “depot level” rework and overhaul facilities.
I worked at one for 31 years and the depots have so much work WE needed contractors to cover the workload. All those people are mandated also.
Some estimates I’ve see saw the total being forced out is as high as 15%. But numbers can be replaced, but the years and decades in the making skill sets and institutional knowledge will be gone ; how long does it take to train and make proficient just one SEAL, one Master Sargent, or one F-22 pilot?
Not if everyone is equal in your fantasy land. Everyone can fly a F22 in
At this point Democrats are a national security problem. No joke.
What difference does it matter, if the US national security is already surrendered by the WH?
🤡🌎🤡🤡🤡🤡🤣
I think grounding aircrews for 6 months after vacc while monitoring them daily for myocarditis, high BP, embolisms, and ADE ….to get past the HIGH RISK and stroke and heart attack window….might be a greater risk to security. But should be done.
That may be a bit crude to say he “chit” in his pants. In woke society you should say “Joe delivered a baby 0bama in his pants”.
Glad to hear your exemption was approved.
So glad I left at the end of 2019.
I keep expecting biden to harass the federal retirees into getting the shot by threatening our medical benefits.
Surprised it hasn’t happened yet.
