The Biden administration is gearing up for its latest pandemic showdown, this time over vaccine mandates in the military.
Pentagon press secretary Patrick Ryder told reporters on Tuesday that "we still have a requirement to vaccinate" for COVID-19. News surfaced the day before that the military may have moved too fast denying religious exemptions for vaccines, and the twin reports set up another round of back-and-forth over pandemic policy.
“Biden now says 'the pandemic is over' as he’s kicking tens of thousands of healthy soldiers out of the military with his COVID vaccine mandate," tweeted former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a West Point graduate and potential presidential candidate.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) demanded the Pentagon provide information related to the denied religious exemption requests, according to a Fox News report. Hawley, who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, called the report "alarming" and said department leaders may have tried to conceal it.

They have accomplished this because Ukrainian society is more flexible, technologically conversant, and willing to learn than the Russian invaders are. They have shown more cleverness and wisdom, and over time that advantage has allowed them to start taking the initiative.
Just as the ability to absorb information is better than lunkhead hypermasculinity in a modern army, diversity and societal integration also bring major advantages.”
The jibberish goes on and on and on.
Ping
How many of those who were kicked out would be willing to return, even if invited? I’d bet that the best ones would not.
Hmm...
Send our military equipment to Ukraine.
Send our Strategic oil reserves to China.
Send our Nat. Gas to Europe.
Allow hundreds of thousands of military aged men across border.
Reduce our current military based on vaccine mandates.
What is the objective?
