Hundreds of thousands of U.S. service members remain unvaccinated or only partially vaccinated against the coronavirus as the Pentagon's first compliance deadlines near, with lopsided rates across the individual services and a spike in deaths among military reservists illustrating how political division over the shots has seeped into a nonpartisan force with unambiguous orders.
Overall, the military's vaccination rate has climbed since August, when Defense Department leaders, acting on a directive from President Joe Biden, informed the nation's 2.1 million troops that immunization would become mandatory, exemptions would be rare and those who refuse would be punished. Yet troops' response has been scattershot, according to data assessed by The Washington Post.

The more people comply the harder it gets for the rest of us. And compliance is dangerous as this is merely the first step. Health insurance racketeers are hiking rates for the unvaccinated and their spouses (next up, children), seeing dollar signs in their dreams and using skewed cost data as justification (same as done with homeowners insurance rates vs. global warming and rising sea levels). Vendors of other drugs can likewise justify mandates for taking whatever drugs they'd like to sell (say, a new generation of cholesterol-lowering drugs), using health insurance as the cudgel.

If 100's of thousands get discharged for not taking the vaccine, where do they plan to get replacements?? There is no draft. Will the military accept Haitian refugees?

I'm hoping that my young enlisted Marine will choose to separate from the Corps over this. Unfortunately my USMC pilot relative is very career oriented, and will comply. I hope he survives it.

Maybe the military knows that the vaccines were developed with ABORTED BABY PARTS! and they can't stomach getting a vaccine made with an unborn baby tissue. We couldn't!

Cui bono? All part of China’s plan?

Considering that the military is made up largely of those for whom the risk from the vaccine is greater than the risk from Covid, this is not surprising.

In the first place, government is totally overstepping by aggression against personal medical choice... worthy of impeachment of those in charge from the prez to the generals to advisors. There is no proof that the 'vaccines' are anything but moneymakers for big pharma and their stockholders... there is evidence world-wide that these jabs can cause medical emergencies and deaths. We are in crisis with this rotten administration that wants to diminish our numbers and 'rule' over us.

Since the vaccine isn't good enough to even last six months, and the vaccine was made to combat the form of Covid that's not prevalent anymore, why bother getting it. It's like buying a VCR today. It's obsolete and of no use to prevent the current version of Covid. The rapid development of a vaccine was great, and it worked for a while, but this is why vaccines take years of testing before coming to market. The constant brow beating by government and corporate officials mandating people into getting a vaccine that doesn't work on the current version of a virus is just stupid. It's become all about control, control of people's lives, and the government doesn't even try to hide that fact anymore.

The vaccines are Gene Therapy, NOT vaccines.
I think we are all part of a massive lab test to develope Gene Therapies that are "safe enough" for the elites, the add genes to their own bodies.
Its already broken that the Elites have been getting ivermectin at exclusive clinics, while publically taking saline shots, when needed.
Elites have been searching for eternal youth and eternal life for AGES! They fear death like nothing else.

Not to fear. One of the pharmaceutical companies has invented a new pill that will knock the socks off covid. It's not Invermectin, which is against the law, it has a fancy new name and a slight reconfiguration of the formula and therefore passes for a new drug, which they can patent, and make even more billions off of. I'm sure we will all be allowed to have this pill.

This is how the defund the police. Defund the military.
They’ve accepted they can’t legislate their way to achieve these goals, so they will mandate it via crisis after crisis. Health crisis - disease! Do as we say or it will cost you your job, your livelihood, your freedom or your life! Health crisis - climate change! We need to live like cave people to improve our way of life (as they sit in there $7000/month power bill mansions paid for somehow via our tax dollars). Health crisis - guns! We need to remove guns from the streets and common people (especially conservatives,) who can’t be trusted. Health crisis - voting! We need mail in ballots with no identity checking or proof of identity because Covid!
And on and on. It’s beyond simply enslaving us. It’s about driving their agenda under the guise of health crisis after health crisis.

The National Guard will be decimated...and is the military really going to issue dishonorable discharge papers to thousands of patriots? Good luck with those recruiting targets, especially in the minority community.

Great! Just dump Idy Amin Austin. Let him go to Afghanistan and get the rest of Americans out, tell him to stay there for the foreseeable future. Perhaps he will tell you to 'stand down' again to teach you CTR crapola again! Stick to your guns, guys! You have a better brain than this desk jockey 'general' any day!

The more citizens who tell the Feds to go pound sand, the harder it will be for the Feds to get what they want.

Good! That also means they won't comply with shooting fellow citizens.

If it’s good enough for White House staff to be exempt from getting the lethal injection then it should be the same for our military service people.
Forced health care choices is not freedom.

What kind of discharge will they be given if they don't comply? Having anything other than an Honorable Discharge is a heavy rock to have around your neck the rest of your life.

This is the $h!t you can expect with woke perfumed princes now running our military. We need our WWII generals back again. The ones we have should be retired and the good Lt Cols & Cols promoted. I guarantee we would see a good change.
