All U.S. military branches have begun disciplinary actions and\/or discharges for service members who have refused to get the mandated coronavirus vaccine, with as many as 20,000 unvaxxed personnel at risk of being removed from service.<\/p>\n
The Marine Corps said it has discharged 103 Marines so far for refusing the vaccine, and the Army said it has reprimanded more than 2,700 soldiers and will begin discharge proceedings in January.<\/p>\n
This while a COVID outbreak aboard the Navy’s littoral warship USS Milwaukee has forced it to remain in port in GITMO. A Navy spox said all 105 crew members were fully immunized, and \u201cThe ship is following an aggressive mitigation strategy in accordance with Navy and CDC guidelines.\u201d<\/p>\n
Seems “combat ineffective” is the mitigation strategy the Navy is currently using.<\/p>\n
Zero religious exemptions for the COVID-19 vaccine have been granted to date, Marine Corps spokesman says<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n By Jessica Chasmar<\/p>\n EXCLUSIVE: U.S. Marines are being “crushed” by President Biden\u2019s COVID-19 vaccine mandate as thousands face dismissal for their continued refusal to get the shot, several active-duty Marines told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n To date, 169 Marines have been discharged for refusing the vaccine, and thousands more face the same fate after the Department of Defense\u2019s mandate on all active-duty service members went into effect for the Marine Corps on Nov. 28.<\/p>\n Marines are allowed to apply for a religious exemption, but so far not a single application regarding the COVID-19 vaccine, or any vaccine for that matter, has been approved, a Marine Corps spokesman told Fox News.<\/p>\n Several Marines who refuse to get the shot were granted anonymity by Fox News Digital, so they could speak freely. They said they are witnessing a “political purge” by the Biden administration that is forcing out the military\u2019s “best and brightest” over deeply held beliefs they say are protected by the First Amendment.<\/p>\n “There\u2019s something fundamentally wrong at this point with our nation\u2019s leadership,” said a major with more than 17 years of active service. “We are facing an unconstitutional edict that I think is very targeted as a political purge, taking out some of the best and brightest soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and guardians from the Space Force.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Any resemblance to Stalin’s purge of some 35,000 military in the late 1930’s is strictly coincidental.<\/p>\n Fox News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
