If there is still one person somewhere in America who doesn’t think President Joe Biden and the toxic progressives who increasingly call the shots for the White House and the Democratic Party are heading swiftly down an authoritarian road, here’s yet another illustration:

“The Administration strongly opposes section 716, which would detract from readiness and limit a commander’s options for enforcing good order and discipline when a Service member fails to obey a lawful order to receive a vaccination …
“The Administration also strongly opposes section 720, which would create a new and overly broad exemption from the vaccination requirement for previous infection that would undermine the effectiveness of the requirement.”
Those graphs are from a September 21 Statement of Administration Policy issued by the Biden White House concerning a congressional proposal to bar dishonorable discharges for members of the U.S. military who decline to be vaccinated against Covid.
For those who might have expected Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to step up in defense of the 1.3 million active-duty military service members and 800,000 reservists, be aware that he was asked his position on the issue during a recent Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
Austin’s response wasn’t exactly a profile in courage, as he responded by saying that “taking a vaccine is a requirement. I’ll just leave it at that,” Note that neither Austin nor the White House statement made clear or even remotely acknowledged what is at stake for every declining service member on this issue.
The proposal being objected to by the Biden administration was introduced by Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.) as an amendment to the draft National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Green’s amendment enjoyed bipartisan support in the House Armed Services Committee. The Senate still has to act on the NDAA

Its a backdoor way to remove the rank-and-file soldiers who would refuse to carryout illegal orders that violate the Constitution ...
Don’t see how refusing a shot with an unapproved & untested “vaccine” can be construed as disobeying a lawful order. The military is being damaged by quackery such as this. For that matter, I am having trouble with any directive coming down from this unlawful “president” being construed as lawful.

What an unspeakable way to weaken our military!!!! Biden and this administration are Enemies of our Military!
You can't pick and choose what position you want to take.
Let’s go Brandon!
I don’t understand why the military has time for this. After all, there is the LGCTQ? alphabet soup crowd to please.
And requires a lot of groveling.
Anything done in senate or house is too little to late. Both are do nothing good outfits.
Why has someone of power and position not shopped the judges to at least get a restraining order to slow this insanity against our informed and intelligent hold out troops?
Instances of complication including myocarditis in the ranks is well known and feared and rightly so. Science, so often abused, shows clearly that 60% of these victims will be dead in five years. The jab may not be a death sentence but it is russian roulette with more than one chamber loaded.
Why is this administration so obsessed to jab everyone with a vaccine that:
does not work
does not stop infection to others
has known and worse side effects than any other vaccine of the past?
To a population that has a near 100% infection survival rate, is one f the healthiest populations on the planet and ignores prior infection and immunity better than the jab could ever produce and offers no alternative accommodation?
Clearly, the American sheeple have decided that it just doesn't matter...
There will be thousands of these draconian rules & actions & purges in the next few years as our former freedoms & liberties continued to be trampled by our communist masters... Get used to it or do something significant about it...
Our beloved masters only have to schedule more stimulus checks and the sheeple are fine with the draconian rules & actions & putges...
The decrepit bag of cow refuse hates the military. He won’t eliminate it, but he will force it to conform to his ideology.
Let’s Go Brandon!
Bring it down! Bring the whole system down!!
My guess is that this action (dishonorable discharges for those refusing the vaccine in the military) will result in even fewer men and women volunteering to serve. Sadly, my son took the shot to remain in the service. I hope that he doesn’t live to regret that decision. Another young man I know is refusing it and being forced to leave as a result. The second young man has honorably served his country as a marine and served in Iraq under perilous conditions. To dishonorably discharge him and men and women like him is OUTRAGEOUS!
The service has the right (I guess) to allow them to leave if they refuse the vaxx, but I VEHEMENTLY disagree that they have the right to DISHONORABLY DISCHARGE these fine men and women.
My next guess is that this is all a prelude to begin drafting young men and women again. Will these “new recruits” be allowed to refuse? If they say up front that they will not take this vaxx, will that then be an excuse to NOT draft them? If not, then they will not be able to “draft” anybody who doesn’t want to go as there will be a FLOOD of anti-vaxxers in the draft lines.
Where will this end? Heaven help us.
Do you really think 50% of the employers in AMERICA will give a crap on what his DD214 says under these circumstances????
