WASHINGTON—The Air Force has discharged 27 people for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine, making them what officials believe are the first service members to be removed for disobeying the mandate to get the shots.She said all of them were in their first term of enlistment, so they were younger, lower-ranking personnel. The Air Force gave its forces until Nov. 2 to get the vaccine, and thousands have either refused or sought an exemption. Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek said Monday that these are the first airmen to be administratively discharged for reasons involving the vaccine.

I don't know what has happened to MY Air Force. They are lead by affirmative action appointees who care about race, gender, and diversity. I served 30 years under "Service before self" and "Fly Fight and Win." Now it's about celebrating perversity...

A niece went ahead with the damned shot, even though she had recovered from the disease. So far, she seems OK...but just got married and I hope she doesn't have problems with fertility or carrying a baby to term.
I'd have supported her if she had let them force her out.

Thats sad. They were required by law to honor religious exemptions, yet they never had any intention of doing so. I see Air Force "leadership" is no more honorable than they were during the 20 years I wasted in it.

The services dishonor themselves by dismissing young men and women of lower rank, while the Congress exempts Congressional staff from the mandates.

I am very proud of these 27 Airmen who stood by their morals and values. They would have been the type of folks I would want to fly with.

It takes lots of courage to stand their ground. ....but isn't that what our country wants out of our enlisted men?

Not only have the woke, destroy America bunch infiltrated our schools but they have infested the military. These damned politically correct flags are useless pieces of shite and are destroying our military effectiveness. My dad, an infantry lieutenant in WWII is spinning in his grave.

The US military has come a long way since becoming Marxist. Good job in Afghanistan guys, you should not be proud of our surrender hamburger-eating monkey track record.

No surprise that the first to go are enlisted. This rot in the military started many years ago. Think Clinton's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and it goes from there. That's when "careerism" got its start. Then, like now, if you looked out for your troops, you'd get screwed. The motto then became "I'll step on you to get ahead." I retired in 1995 and the exodus of us at that time, in the senior enlisted ranks, was massive.

The government is ensuring that anyone who remains in the military is willing to follow any order, including killing Americans. Remember Biden's taunt that we will need F15s and nukes, etc.
