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.

Please gut the military.
Idiots.
OK. And not a dollar more for Ukraine until everyone in their army gets the jab.
The destruction of our country continues.
All as planned.
Agree. A well thought out plan.
Will they be deported?
Our enemies could not harm us any more efficiently than our wokeists are doing to ourselves.
The gravity of this situation will probably impel Senator Grassley to take his usual bold action — fire off a letter to the Defense Department, where it will provoke snickers from the Deep State. Jim Jordan will proclaim, “That’s just wrong!!!” That is the sharp point of Republican action.
And utterly unnecessary. Previous vaccines had an 80% fail rate lately, and the latest vaccine, Novavax, is ethical and doesn’t rely on mRNA technology. It does have the spike protein, but it doesn’t cause the replication of the spike protein.
I’m afraid there is zero trust left for the U.S. medical establishment, however, and I don’t expect Novavax to become widely adopted.
For those who hate America (i.e., the Left and those pulling the strings of the Left), it is a perfect plan coming together.
We haven't FULLY defined our enemy yet (the Mastermind), but, from Sun Tzu's perspective, we are being defeated by our enemy without his having to wage war on the battlefield.
BTW, the enemy isn't just China...or Russia...or the EU...or the Globalists...or even the Left.
It is all the above and then something else.
On the bright side, if these Soldiers and Sailors are Discharged, then they can’t be abandoned in Afghanistan.
The Pentagon is having a very difficult time meeting recruitment goals. I saw someplace tha the Army is short 40% of it’s goal.
These 260,000 troops will soon be depersoned. While they may not be banished, they will not be able to have a job, engage in commerce, etc.
What we have is an overwhelmingly-survivable disease. The tenacity with which government pursues mass vaccination cannot be explained by the science. This has become a control streaks dream. Who knew we had so many of them?
Another bright side: If there’s a line in the sand they will most likely be standing on our side.
Guess it’ll be up to the citizens to defend the country; this is (not?) a repeat of 1776.
And recruitment is running about 50% of plan.
It’s like a deliberate plan to destroy the military.
270,000 would be a good start to start a new army for a new country to take on our old country that turned into a swamp.

There is a growing mountain of evidence of adverse reactions to the jabs from heart inflammation to neurological issues followed up with data that supports the Covid mRNA concoction has failed real-time human efficacy trials.
I personally know several folks in my orbit, one of which is a family member who has either experienced serious adverse reactions or have died after receiving either of these jabs. It’s scary crazy.
