WASHINGTON, Feb 2 (Reuters) - U.S. soldiers who refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine will be immediately discharged, the U.S. Army said on Wednesday, saying the move was critical to maintain combat readiness
The Army's order applies to regular Army soldiers, active-duty Army reservists and cadets unless they have approved or pending exemptions, it said in a statement.
The discharge order is the latest from a U.S. military branch removing unvaccinated service membersamid the pandemicafter the Pentagon made the vaccine mandatory for all service members in August 2021.
The vast majority of all active duty troops have received at least one dose. Roughly 79 uniformed military personnel across the different services have died from the novel coronavirus. read more
"Army readiness depends on soldiers who are prepared to train, deploy, fight and win our nation’s wars,” Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said. "Unvaccinated soldiers present risk to the force and jeopardize readiness."
Other branches of the U.S. military, including the U.S. Air Force, have already begun to remove those who have chosen not to receive a COVID vaccine.

Another RUSSIAN hoax I bet....LOL
Covid is over. There is no justification for what they are doing. But there is no accountability ether, so why not.
Who would want to work for a senile commander in chief, (alleged) and obama.
Will be they be replaced by people confused about their gender?
This is Biden’s woke pussy posse now.
Get the experimental vax so we can send your asses somewhere to protect the Globalists interests. You deplorable cannon fodder.
Maybe its a real blessing. They can get out because there is a lunatic trying to start WWIII to save his own butt in the whitehouse
Just when we need them to fight the Russians. Stupid.
Gee, we’re having a hard time getting recruits, let’s discharge those already in.
Does anyone actually think that vaccination is a choice in the military? These are all volunteers and they knew when they volunteered that vaccinations were required.
This isn’t anything new. The military have been requiring vaccinations for over a hundred years. You’re choices were get vaccinated, get discharged, or face other disciplinary actions.
So the vaxxed service member need to be protected from the unvaxxed service members?
Something is completely screwy about that.
They can join the continental army of the resistance now.
And I thought it was bad during the Carter Administration. I’m thankful that I spent all but one month of that in Germany. LOL, the one month I spent in the States was smack dab during the Mount St Helens eruption.
My Son is a Major - he and his Officer pals are waiting for a final decision on the exemption requests
Does not look good - Army is losing many combat veterans who fought in Iraq
Lawyers are getting ready for another round of class action suits. If they’re making big bucks off bad ear plugs, just imagine what’s coming down the pike on forced vaccinations.
They should count themselves lucky to be out under this regime.
While the vax reasoning is stupid, there is no good reason to be fighting the Russians. We need to stay out of Western Europe.
