    I'm torn here. On the one hand we know this vaccine cant stop transmission and the latest information shows a terrible drop in efficacy to prevent illness against the latest variants. On the other hand these are soldiers being given an order no one has proven is unlawful, and if there's a fair chance a vaccine keeps them combat ready then they should take it because the last thing we need is a weak military (not that we aren't doing everything we can to make that happen anyways).

    The fact that you equate vaccinated with combat ready tells me all I need to know.

    What exactly does 'axed' mean? Are we talking 'your services are no longer required' axed, or 'now you have a criminal record' axed?

    It speaks volumes that the army doesnt care that its 'readiness' will be far more depleted by losing all these soldiers at once than it ever would by a few of them being out with the flu...

    Seems pretty stupid to get rid of these soldiers for such a mundane reason. But, that’s their choice. If the army wants to get rid of good soldiers over moronic reasons and those soldiers are willing to fall on their swords then so be it.

    Hopefully in the future more rational heads will prevail and get those removed for such a stupid reason justice and compensation.

    It’s high-time that Republicans urge their kids to stay out of the military. Let the Democrats send their kids to the front lines and fight for this perverse country. Why on earth would a conservative sign up to defend this? You aren’t even appreciated, you’re hated.

    Why would anyone appreciate someone who only wants to end good things and bash people who aren't bothering anybody? Why do you think we should thank you for taxing us heavily so you can give big breaks to Musk and Bezos? You're rich as Croesus and then ********* endlessly because we take a few pennies you'll never see to help old people who worked themselves into an early grave to make your lives better. ****** right you're hated.

    It isn't the flu, it's a FAR more deadly disease that will spread and kill all the other soldiers others who have legitimate conditions that prevent their being vaccinated. And anyone who still doesn't want the vaccine is probably undeployable anyway since they can't be vaccinated to be sent overseas anyway

    Ah yes. Disagreement devolves to hatred. What a positive outlook on life in the U.S.

    Throw them into prison for one year and fine them a grand and forcibly vax them and take their children permanently...right? In your own words.

    I'll never let you forget it.

    When I was in the Army I didn't see many of their kind around.

    Former military here as well. The enemy isn’t overseas now. It’s right here. I can’t fathom how any normal person would sign up to serve under this mess. There is no honor in that.
