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.

Except the left loves nothing more than screwing over patriots.
Somehow, the foolishness of p’ ing off those best trained to fight seems to have escaped the democrats.
Which is a good thing.
And the people who give you orders have the b@lls to tell you you’re “fighting for freedom” in those Islamic sh!t-holes.
If that makes any sense to you, then you can have it.
See Post #62. You can have that sh!t.
I’m really starting to get sick of click-bait sites and the headlines not even coming close to matching the very story that they write.
There is a difference between “they won’t get any benefits” and:
“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.”
Write the headline correctly!
I wish the CFP and other outlets would understand how much this hurts their credibility. Don’t follow the Grifter Pundit mode of headline writing. I’m with you in that this shouldn’t be happening at all. I think we need to find ways to fight the military mandate. The fact that not a single religious exemption was granted demonstrates bad faith and a failure to follow the law. Don’t lie to me in the headline to get me to click on your story.
“I have an eye exam at the VA on Monday, been scheduled for 2 years.”
We just told a relative, who is a Nam vet and an agent orange followup Vet, to get his up date visits in quickly.
Apparently they can’t even beat the British today. Good thing the revolution was almost 250 years ago.
I’m sure these policies will help that. /s
It’s an administrative way of getting rid of the non-compliant.
Today it’s the shots, down the road, it may be working under foreign/UN command. On and on, slowly weeding out the non-compliant and keeping those that follow orders without thought.
Not saying it will happen, but it’s how I would do it if I wanted a military that won’t think it unusual when politicians order that they fire upon the citizens they took an oath to protect.
Vaccines are fine. That’s not what this is.
Great point. :-D
Veterans seeking promised pay in 1932....

If they don’t then and they are worthless.
Fixed it or you.
You sure know how to grab attention.
Not if they work on contingency they won't, with the current state of the Judicial government that is enslaving us.
Until the next Republican controlled Congress gets in to roll this sh*t back.
If there are enough burned feet in that bunch.
Dems just need to keep dancing on the land mines...
If they did crack and slept with Chinese whores they could sell paintings for $500,000 each! Oh forgot the 10% for the Big Guy....
That describes your leftist, anti-MAGA opinion perfectly:
"If you’re in the U.S. military today your job is to serve as a mercenary force for global corporations and foreign interests."
Wow. The every segment of the enitre country is being blackmailed.
Don’t by the BS.
I’ve said the same thing they are worthless.
This is a travesty this is a disgrace this is not what we are supposed to be about this was America dammit
