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.

“Don’t by the BS“
97% of troops got vaccine
Prob not.
That next next they’re coming after individuals. Come after your Medicare they will come after your Social Security there is nothing off the table at this point. I don’t believe I have to make this up I believe it’s the honest truth and I hope that time proves me wrong
Heil Brandon!
Man, you would think lawyers would be lining up to take these wrongful termination lawsuits.
Lots of cash to make...like 3 trillion dollars or more.
The fact that it’s completely unConstitutional seems to have been completely skipped over
sorry, i won’t be forgetting the Constitution
Foot to the neck on our vets! What BULLSH*T !!!!
Where is this great military leader Austin and why isn’t he looking out for his troops?
Interesting. Where do you think this help from “future governments” is going to be coming from? The nadless, gutless, spineless Republicans? ROTFL!
Yes, I agree, they are positively worthless. The only time they ever seriously address an issue is to fund raise or try to get re-elected.
And of course even Trump is silent on the matter.
Don’t get me going on that. I heard yesterday that Trump has not lifted a finger, or sent a penny to help the Trump supporters that are still being held without charges. (Most of whom cannot afford private lawyers and who are being screwed over by DC “public defenders”.)
Now you know who the military will stand with next insurrection.
To deny benefits over jabs?
Crazy.
Never before has the nation faced so many challenges at one time with such feeble leaders at the helm.
“Never in my life have I seen such concerted efforts to
destroy our nation.”
True, but we did have some encouraging results in this last election. That means some people interfered with demonrat fraud, which is a surprise to me.
“Democrats have been working for about Sixty Years to deny Veterans Veteran’s Benefits.”
Sixty? There were Frenchmen who fought for us in the Revolutionary War and never received their pensions from congress.
Over the top, this.
“Rule of law” people.
They like rules, per se. If there is a rule it must be followed.
Luckily, there are plenty of JOBS for all of the Ex-Military leaving the ranks over this.
ONE bright spot, though just one. :(
“Never before has the nation faced so many challenges at one time with such feeble leaders at the helm.”
And ALL of these current ‘challenges’ are self-inflicted, BY these ‘feeble leaders!’ Grrrr!
“Apparently they can’t even beat the British today.”
Even? The Brits have been at this for a long time. If we just go back to the Norman conquest we’re talking about 955 years, and that’s not even including fights with the Vikings.
They know how to do a lot of things right, despite their undeniable mistakes. Look at Dunkirk. Do you think we could do that today?
Winston Churchill, a modern figure, participated in their last mounted cavalry charge, which he claimed to have survived only because he sheathed his saber and drew his pistol.
“Excuse me, but if I was still in service I would get the vaccine. GI means your carcass is already owned by the government. A military shot record is full of every vaccine known to man, especially of those going overseas. Does any service member question what shots they are given? No, and
“Did you ever ask about your shots in the service?”
Nope, never asked. Finally some sanity. Things are are different with Uncle Sam...
