Two months after the Pentagon began requiring all troops to get the coronavirus vaccine or face dismissal, the vast majority have now had shots, in part because none received a religious exemption, military officials said. https://t.co/3zpPg5hpG6

Troops who refuse the coronavirus vaccine won’t see any extra protections or leniency in how their dismissals are handled, Defense and Veterans Affairs officials confirmed Wednesday.
Instead, decisions on whether to give those individuals other-than-honorable discharges — potentially blocking them from a host of veterans benefits — will be left to local commanders, and their cases won’t receive any preferential evaluations for veterans benefits eligibility.
Air Force and Space Force officials announced that about 8,500 airmen missed the Nov. 2 deadline to get the Vaccine. That represents 3 percent of total Air Force personnel.

That’s so wrong
Last time I went to the VA hospital in Murfreesboro for an appointment was in Sept they were just asking questions no temperature taking anymore...
Wow, this disease must be the scourge of the world; the Bubonic Plague or something. Yes, I see, there are people dropping dead everywhere....
Did you ever ask about your shots in the service?
They are evil. And are playing chicken with people of integrity.
Yeah, we’re still not the Democrats, so come vote for us because we’re not the Democrats, not that we’ll do anything to fix your problems because we don’t have the power.
I was there on Tuesday, they take everyone’s temp, ask the usual questions about sniffles, etc. and require a mask. At the sign-in kiosk, there were new questions about the vax: Did you get one? Where?
Well, I guess that horse has sailed.
Great mixed metaphor!!!
Exo 15
1. Then sang Moses and the people of Israel this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying, I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider has he thrown into the sea:
2. The Lord is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation; he is my God, and I will praise him; my father's God, and I will exalt him:
3. The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is his name:
4. Pharaoh's chariots and his army has he thrown into the sea; his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea:
5. The depths have covered them; they sank to the bottom as a stone:
Calypso just started playing on the radio across the room (not internet connected).

Section 716 of the NDAA made it through the house. I called the sponsor’s office (Green, TN) and the staffer told me all the democrats on the armed services committee voted in favor of it too.

“(a) Prohibition.—Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a member of an Armed Force under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of a military department subject to discharge on the basis of the member choosing not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine may only receive an honorable discharge.”
“ GI means your carcass is already owned by the government”
Theta are certainly not allowed to do anything illegal to you which this most certainly is
I was more protected by the rules of treatment when I was in the military than I ever was in civilian world even more so than by New York union I was in
They sent us in to combat where we could have been killed or wounded. That’s what we signed up for. I took the anthrax vax for good reason and with full disclosure. It had not been approved by the fda. They did not force it.
The military is not signing up for slavery. The opposite. It is not a democratic system but it is not a dictatorship.
Nothing would surprise me including having them executed.
Yep, I expect them to ratchet down on us old soldiers quite soon.
I wouldn’t trust leadership to give the true number. I know some folks who work for federal agencies. They’re seeing some reports saying they have 85-percent compliance or better, then see other reports where only 60% responded to the request to provide proof of vaccination. Resistance is probably a lot higher than reported.
Reason number 12,456 why no one should enlist in the Armed Forces.
Just F-ing cruel. FJB and the horse he buggered before breakfast.
I’ve said for years that no principled conservative has any business serving in the U.S. armed forces. It’s good to see my dim view of that institution reinforced from within.
....
I think sometimes you try and sound a little too clever. Dumb comment.
That’s right. Create a sizable cadre with military training, screw them over royally, and expect them to crawl back home licking their wounds, never to be allowed to get any VA benefits or to vote. Take away their faith in the goodness of America. Let’s see how that works out.
“Thank you for your service” will now be replaced by “So sorry to hear that.”
It’s shocking
Make the most of it.
