I'm against mandatory vaccines for the military. That being said, Biden has NOT said that troops should be dishonorably discharged.
The rider included in the bill mandates that troops cannot be given anything except an honorable discharge for refusing to take the vaccine, and Biden opposes that rider. The author then incorrectly infers that if you're not getting an honorable discharge, that must mean you're getting a dishonorable discharge. That's where the headline comes from.
As anyone military person can tell you, those are far from the only two kind of discharges available, and the idea that Biden would be able to hand out all those dishonorable discharges like that is ridiculous on its face. There are a bunch of other types of discharges between "honorable" and "dishonorable" of which the writer of the article is apparently ignorant, some of which are considered administrative rather than punitive.
I still think it is wrong, but that doesn't make it right to mischaracterize what has actually been stated because it makes our side look like jackasses who don't know what we are talking about.
Thanks for the clarification. Regardless though, mandating it for anyone IMO is simply wrong and against our rights as American citizens.
My body my choice was deemed Constitutional when it comes to abortion. What’s the difference here? Dumb question, right?

Thank you Bruce!
The MSM produces spin meant to pressure and drive behavior. The White House has very tight control on the press as evidenced by the documented coordination.
While your clarification is very helpful I think there is just such a spin effort being driven by the White House & party elite, meant to force the troops into line. The ramifications of using lies, obscuration & spin is that no one knows what is true and there is a loss of trust in GV’t. The uncertain and contradictory info also paralyzes Americans which benefits the Globalists.
