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.

Soldiers can go work for one of the growing number of private military contractors, and make much more money doing it.
Being jabbed in biden’s military is a litmus test. The unjabbed are to be purged for perceived disloyalty to the globalist plan to excert complete control.
They know a certain number will bail...also that a certain number will pass on enlisting to begin with.
The government would love to get rid of the noncompliant, if they could only get enough snowflakes to sign up.
Is it part of their plan for the Draft and only for Non-Democrats this time
But Deep State is allowing the partially vaxxed to stay...?
Continuing proof, as if it were needed, that CoupFlu policy has NEVER been about public health.
Vax= Death Jab= Clot Shot.
Explaines why we are sending all that money to Ukraine.
Ya ssee, nobody want to DIE for Fauxci & the resident so discharge them and set them FREE!
Agreed. the TX and AZ DMV should give them all driver’s licenses, along with every Peace Officer let go for the same reason, and head down to the valle del río grande for some live-fire exercises. After all, they wanted to serve their country, right?
I would actually contribute financially for that.
P.S. You would think even some dems in congress would think to intervene in this suicide policy. But alas... see tagline.
Fewer tweets have never been more accurate.
When was the last time the U.S. needed 270,000 soldiers for ANY military campaign?
As another Freeper astutely noted recently … every military campaign the U.S. has waged since the Korean War has been fought against an enemy wearing sandals on the battlefield.
Institution of the draft no doubt coming given the recruitment levels across all service branches have fallen like whale sh*t heading for the bottom of the ocean floor? =.=
Kinda hard to collect military benefits when ya dead.
If they had any honor, every member of the Joint Chiefs should resign.
Must get rid of conservatives in the military so when Milley orders the “woke” soldiers to open fire on peacefully protesters they will say “With pleasure sir”.
Sadly, “honor” is NOT a valuable trait in this country anymore.
Devastating our military is not a bug for Biden. Sure he considers it a feature.
The 270,000 are not needed on the front line. The Tooth-To-Tail Ratio (T3R), depending on the engagement, might mean that of the 270,000 only 35,000 are "on the ground".
OMG!
