Some 40,000 National Guard and 22,000 Reserve soldiers who refused to be vaccinated against COVID-19 are no longer allowed to participate in their military duties, also effectively cutting them off from some of their military benefits, Army officials announced Friday.
"Soldiers who refuse the vaccination order without an approved or pending exemption request are subject to adverse administrative actions, including flags, bars to service, and official reprimands," an Army spokesperson said in a statement.
The move comes in the midst of the annual training season, during which part-time soldiers are often ordered to serve from two weeks to a month with their units for summer training exercises. Those training events are usually critical for soldiers to sharpen their military skills and for unit commanders to ensure their formations are ready to deploy if needed.
If the soldiers continue to refuse the vaccine, the consequences could be even more dire.
"In the future, Soldiers who continue to refuse the vaccination order without an exemption may be subject to additional adverse administrative action, including separation," the Army spokesperson said.
The long-term impact may mean many soldiers would be forced to leave, a devastating outcome especially in the middle of a recruiting crisis as Defense Department officials struggle to fill the ranks.
Soldiers will be allowed to come on duty and earn their pay in order to be vaccinated or to take part in separation procedures.
"We're going to give every soldier every opportunity to get vaccinated and continue their military career," Lt. Gen. Jon Jensen, director of the Army Guard, told Military.com in an emailed statement. "We're not giving up on anybody until the separation paperwork is signed and completed."

What the hell is wrong with our CIF.
A 🐶 dog whistle to 🇨🇳 China.
The seditious left is running the government.
The Army is falling way below its recruiting targets because it’s gone fully woke. It hates young, white, conservative males now.
Not it sacks 62,000 warriors.
And there’s talk of a new draft to get enough men AND women to staff the army.
ALL of this is the result of Democrats. All of it.
Biden’s woke Army
Joe Biden.
Asked a different way, what isn’t wrong with Biden? I can’t find anything he has ever done that was actually beneficial to the country.
However if there are US troops committed to the Ukraine, they will definitely be invited.
Didn’t need them. We have too many soldiers. And they were probably the patriotic kind too. Ya’ know, fight for your country and didn’t care so much about pronouns. Probably resented wearing dresses and marching in high heels. And the CRT and embedded racism theory probably went way over their heads. We need to have the country weakened and send money to other countries. And open the borders. And expose the children to pedophile drag queens. And I could go on and on.
60k Americans who don’t cave under pressure.
60k trained warriors who are potentially willing to fight against the Great Reset.
imo, madating our military to take an experimental injection could be another article for impeachment? No?
I didn’t stop them. I’m sitting on my porch right now. I’m not without blame.

And my sons will have none of it!
