More than 260,000 Troops Not Fully Vaccinated, Many Face Discharge Under Biden Administration Mandate
Breitbart ^ | 13 Jul 2022 | KRISTINA WONG

Posted on 07/14/2022 5:08:12 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

At least 260,000 American troops — or about 13 percent of the 2.1 million total force — are not fully vaccinated despite a Biden administration vaccine mandate for the military, and many of them could face discharge.

According to the Department of Defense website, at least 268,858 service members as of July 13 are still not in compliance with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s August 2021 mandate for every member of the military to be fully vaccinated with two doses of a vaccine. That figure does not count the thousands who have not taken any doses.

Only about 20,000 of the more than 260,000 have received a temporary or permanent exemption, according to the latest statistics provided by the services. That means the rest face discharge from the military at a time the services are struggling to find new recruits.

So far, there have been 95 military deaths from coronavirus, with 412,766 who have had it and recovered, according to DOD statistics.

Mike Berry, a Marine reservist and general counsel for First Liberty, who is representing service members seeking religious exemptions, said in a statement to Breitbart News:

Losing nearly 270,000 troops would devastate our military. That’s more than twice as many U.S. troops than died during World War I from all causes, and almost as many as died in combat during World War II. Our adversaries are probably delighted to see the Pentagon eliminate more troops than they ever could.

No problem, we have thousands of replacements coming across the southern border every week. In fact, almost every one of them is a young, male illegal.

I’m sure Biden can refill the ranks with our Replacements coming across the border. Who will be the first illegal to become a 4star general? That’s what is really important to the American working class.

If you were intentionally trying to weaken the American military I can’t think of a better way to start.

Likely some tranny from MS-13.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit stayed the Vaxx mandate and said that it entailed “grave statutory and constitutional issues.”.. The court’s decision was a response to lawsuits filed by over two dozen states..

June 27, 2022, Court revives block of vaccine mandate for federal workers..

My daughter has wanted to go to the Point forever, until about 4 months ago. Between the military going woke and the Vax, she is a hard no....me too!

Covid is gone, but the fascist-in-chief still plans to use it as the excuse for kicking Republicans and religious people out of the armed services and replacing them with insane individuals who chop off various body parts.

Imagine that. LOL.

It's not an accident, it's not incompetence.

IT'S INTENTIONAL SABOTAGE.

Religious accommodation requests have only been granted for troops who were already leaving the military, according to Berry.

And yet, being HIV infected, a disease which is potentially deadly and requires constant monitoring and treatment, is no problem for service.

Nice of dopey Joe to let the chicoms know that they will be able to take Taiwan without much of any resistance from the U.S.

This is just about POWER! & MONEY It is proven and Dr. Fauci stated that the “vaccine” does not have lasting effect. So why go down this road? Power for our rulers and money for our rulers!

I had rather see them get kicked out than take the shots or boosters. The shots will leave a sizeable part of our troops undeployable with heart and sudden cancer problems and a lot more and will have healthy troops dying at inopportune times.
