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.”

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

You're right. The weak minded soldiers will remain.
Which suggests a foreign influence

She's the Karen of the Army.

Getting a better idea which side the military will be on in CW2.

I think the military will fracture three-ways: some side with the Fascistic Left, some side the American Patriots, some simply desert.

God won’t save a prideful and arrogant people. The biggest problem has been conservatives and Christians who have refused to hold to principles in regards to marriage, family and children. Our pulpits are largely feckless. And even here on FR, very few self-styled conservatives want to separate themselves from a wicked system.

There doesn’t seem to be a list of wars that Army Secretary Christine Wormuth has fought in.

Surely, she must have fought on the front lines of many wars, in order to be qualified to be giving commands.

But something conflicts here.

I mean, but were not these vaccines promoted and greatly assisted by President Trump (a big claim to fame of his many times on the campaign trail) through Operation Warpspeed? What gives?

Here, after all, is the text of his speech praising the vaccines. We cannot have it both ways. Either the vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, etc) are evil, or Trump is evil. How do we square the two? Puzzling.

Biden is chasing out the best of our military. Stalin had just been humiliated in Finland. He blamed Voroshilov and the other generals. It made sense to sack them and move up young turks like Zhukov. And I forgot about Timoshenko, another Soviet great who excelled at Stalingrad.

Some people fit right in to our new woke, critical race theory, transgender surgery, lgbtqi friendly, experimental vaxx military. Some say it’s better, but I say it ain’t.

Easy explanation. Big Pharma / Elites are evil, Trump is naive, US Government are pawns

Hubby is a fed civilian. They are going to force him to test weekly at his own expense.

They talk out of three sides of their mouths: talk about fighting China, reduce the military through ridiculous Vax mandates and I recently heard they are selling our oil reserves to China.

They INTEND TO LOSE.

Interesting comment.

It’s actually outside of liberal versus conservative thinking, it’s just simple logic and the rules of deductive thinking, because there is a fundamental contradiction between Pres Trump promoting and funding the deployment of these vaccines developed by big Pharma, which means he’s part of the movement, and a big base of people profoundly opposed to these vaccines as some kind of evil bilderbergian conspiratorial moved to take over our lives, so there’s nothing liberal about suggesting if there is something disjointed here that needs to be addressed… What do you make of when Trump urged people at a rally to get vaccinated, and took credit for the vaccines, and was pretty loudly booed by a large crowd… It’s the first time I have heard that in five years coming from his base.

You're still stuck on black and white thinking.

There are a lot of people that are able to think for themselves that has bought into the notion all vaccines are beneficial. Because I'm not one of them doesn't mean I can't understand how they're looking at it.

I think you used to be a conservative...
and
I think you are not a Trump supporter...

You can clean up all the corruption and rot in the government and get rid of the bidens.. obama... and the clintons.... get them to retire completely...then come back with your pickens.

If Trump were in the White House, there would not be this mess!!! pick and choose what you want to fix with the dems...
