A relative of mine in the navy had refused it based on religious grounds. Denied. But they told him he could leave with honorable discharge and he said fine. Date came and went then they asked if he would stay with no jab and he said I’d rather be discharged. Then they came back with you can be discharged but you must withdraw your religious exemption and he said no even though they had denied it. Now they are back with he finish’s his enlistment stateside, no deployment in reserve status, no jab, he said fine but I’m not withdrawing my religious exemption request. He’s lost all faith in navy leadership. It’s a social sh&t show at this point. Lots of people are going to be killed in a shooting war because of this ongoing social experiment.
Like the medical profession, I thought it would take a generation for the military to regain the trust they squandered. Now I don't them ever restoring that trust.
The military is going to be forced to pay up front and dearly for talent, none of this "pay your dues and collect your pension." Few would start down that path of risk only to have some other Pfascist order them to take part in another medical experiment.
