They’re purging the remaining Americans from the military.
“95 percent of the more than 182,000 active-duty Marines have at least one dose”
What if they refuse the 2nd shot? a booster? More boosters?
A total of 206 out of 182,000 represents 0.1%.
Looks like the new Corps would leave a whole bunch of men behind on the field anyhow.
The sheep dogs have been fired so the wolves can get at the lambs ...
Hire
Them
Immediately!!!
this seems to be one of those government actions that seem like nothing to the low IQ politicized bureaucrats in charge — but the narrative of which will be remembered for a VERY long time, and which will have very damaging, long-term consequences that become obvious later.
If 95% are vaccinated....who are they going to catch it from...that’s assuming that the vaccines work
They had better get busy rewriting regulations to allow for body and face piercing as well as pink and purple haired daughters are f all those suburban moms who will have their daughters drafted to make up the difference.
5 criteria guaranteed to get a marine kicked out over a no vaccine charge:
1. White male
2. straight
3. Evidence he’s conservative, like his facebook page,
4. that he voted for DJT
5. that he’s from Texas
How much money is wasted. These people are trained warriors.
Just throw them out?
Some rich conservative ought to start a private Marine corps, and pay these guys to be the cadre that teaches the tadpoles how to fight Deep State incursions into the Sane States. Because it’s coming. It’s one reason they’re lightening up the COVID restrictions.
Dems say Marines tend to be too harsh and warlike, anyway.
More conciliatory types should replace them, if vaxed.
95% obedient to whomever, for whatever. Go devol sheep.
I keep thinking, our military, when it could win wars, navigate shipping lanes.. were filled with men who had pictures of their wives, children, mothees and families in their cockpits, on ther lockers, next to their hearts.
Someone they would fight for, die for, protect every freedom without regard for their own lives.
What percentage of them are looking at those wonderful images everyday? Pornography was rampant in the 80s, i cannot imagine now. /rant.
Only 200?
That’s a little disappointing.
Probably the most effective ones.
Is it just me, or do you see a building First Amendment issue here? As I read it, religious exemptions were offered, and applied for by the thousands, but none have been approved. Effectively meaning that the offer of a religious exemption was made deceptively, in bad faith, with the concealed intent to grant none.
At some juncture, it don’t matter a rat’s ass that this is the military; if the representation was made that religious exemptions we’re available, then there damned well MUST be religious exemptions given. And not some paltry “fig leaf” number sufficient only to mollify a court, either.
Anyone separated without the religuous exemption they applied for will form an Action Class that should see a Civil judgment and awards into the umpteen millions.
