Army to Begin Forcing Out Soldiers Who Refuse COVID Vaccine, Including Guardsmen
Government Executive ^ | 11/18/2021 | Tara Copp

Posted on 11/18/2021 6:30:19 PM PST by markomalley

Soldiers who refuse to get the COVID-19 vaccine and have not requested an exemption will no longer be allowed to re-enlist or be promoted. That applies to active-duty troops as well as reservists and National Guardsmen, including those serving in states whose governors do not require the vaccine.

Under a policy announced in a Nov. 16 memo signed by Army Secretary Christine Wormuth, troops’ service records will be flagged the day they make their final vaccine refusal, which follows a meeting with a medical professional and a second order to get vaccinated. This flag will bar them from being promoted, reenlisting, continuing to receive enlistment bonuses, attending service-related schools, or receiving tuition assistance.

“I authorize commanders to impose bars to continued service…for all soldiers who refuse the mandatory vaccine order without an approved exemption or pending exemption request,” Wormuth wrote in the memo. “The Soldier will remain flagged until they are fully vaccinated, receive an approved medical or administrative exemption, or are separated from the Army.”

It will. What they will end up with is a military with no support.

The good thing about this is that those who get hoisted out wont have to fight in any worthless wars the nazicRATs start.

I understand that a good number of military pilots are to muster out. So the soon to be patriot army has pilots now-experienced pilots with war experience.

Each area-counties, etc, need to formulate a strategy for their particular area. We old timers need to think of what kind of support we can give to those on the front lines if/when it comes to that.

“Stalin purged his Army a couple of years before WWII started in Europe.”

Stalin got Zhukov, Konev, Rokossovsky and Tolbukhin. Our tranny brigades won’t compare to that.

Before all of this is over and done, there are going to be some pretty epic lawsuits I believe. And, when the next administration has to put all of this right, it is going to cost the taxpayers a lot of money.

I just hope that most of the Demoncrats are ousted from Congress in the next election. That is the only way I see that this mess can possibly be slowed down.

I’d like to think so but if so that will not happen until many suffer. Our troops in this battle are as much cannon fodder as they have ever been and get the same respect.

Destruction is the administration’s goal. Their only goal.

They’ve forgotten today’s military is ALL voluntary, and NOT involuntary (as in draftee). As my dear old mamma said: “They are cutting off their nose to spite their face.”

There is now a gap. There is a gap between now and Nov of 2022 where America floats in dire uncertainty. The Democrats have no choice but to stomp the gas pedal of destruction and hope for the best. Can we take another year of this beatdown? Things are not looking good and people are taking notice, but what can we do in the gap to save USA from the hoax party? Any organized effort is highly liable to be infiltrated, if not founded, by the FBI, while wild eyed leftist groups go unmolested. How bad will this get? What can we do? RINOs rule or at least emasculate our only representation in DC.

No foreign power would dare land on our shores to face 200 million armed to the teeth civilians fighting asymmetrical warfare. Like Lincoln said, the only enemy is ourselves (leftists)

Assuming they wouldnt otherwise persecute unvaccinated soldiers and discharge them in a way that denies them their post military bennies, this is probably the best they could hope for. Bar to reenlistment, nondeployable status, and denial of goodies like schooling and tuition assistance, probably the same as if you busted tape on a weigh in, or kept failing PT tests. If you keep the GI Bill and VA loan access, it seems like a good trade off for being able to exercise some bodily autonomy.

Remember this isn’t the civilian world, if there’s a legal order given to get a shot that is approved by the FDA, you get that shot or you’re disobeying a direct order.

The effects of this draconian assault can be gleefully reversed with the next Administration.

So: the Sovs lost over 1/3 of their breeding age males and 1/10th of their females in the war and IMO never recovered.

On the other hand, as fierce as partisan activity in Russia was, one can only imagine the trouble if PRC starts something here (plus their supply line is longer, and wet).

It’s my guess that PRC and others would use the opportunity to forge a new hegemony around the world rather than confront us directly. What do you think?

That sounds as good as any other speculation I have read.

This is the inevitable Reduction In Force (RIF) after withdrawing from Afghanistan. They'll remove the mandate before the next time they need to increase manning.

That they're using the Jim Jones Jab just makes it easier for the honest and sane soldiers to walk out the door.

Would you trust an institution that doesn't follow science and doesn't account for natural immunity?

Just petty and chickenshit.

Reminds me of the opportunity a guy I know who was discharged for “failure to adjust”. His scam reminded me of Klinger. He got paid to loaf and study for the LSAT until they discharged him.

Army welfare until your enlistment is up.

Hard to say. The USSR generalship was a case of “addition through subtraction.” Stalin’s subservience to Hitler led to deliveries of food and raw materials arriving in Germany as the Nazis bombed Kiev. Stalin got lucky and started listening to Zhukov. My point is, we have a bunch of knuckleheads and scoundrels in our midst. Our people surrendered to Britain in the war games recently.

What would Washington, Franklin, and Payne have thought about that?
