Biden Administration Opposes Honorable Discharges for Troops Refusing to Take Coronavirus Vaccine

[IsailedawayfromFR]

The Biden White House issued a statement this week opposing a provision in a bipartisan defense bill that would prohibit dishonorable discharges for members of the military refusing to get a mandatory coronavirus vaccine.

The Biden administration released a Statement of Administration Policy on September 21, that said the provision, authored by Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), “would detract from readiness and limit a commander’s options for enforcing good order and discipline when a Service member fails to obey a lawful order to receive a vaccination.”

“To enable a uniformed force to fight with discipline, commanders must have the ability to give orders and take appropriate disciplinary measures,” the White House statement said.

Green, an Army veteran and physician, tweeted in response to the statement:

@POTUS is trying to strip out my amendment preventing anything but an honorable discharge for servicemembers who refuse to get the COVID-19 vaccine—an amendment so commonsense that EVERY Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee agreed to it!

Wonder what you guys who have served think of this. @txradioguy

I also wonder if he will retroactively dishonorably discharge retirees who have refused the vaccine.

I put nothing past tyrants.

Bidens further efforts to convince young people to no longer enlist.  Many will walk away!

@IsailedawayfromFR i think it’s a load of crap on Biden’s part.  As if the GOMAR that gets put in your file if you refuse the vaccine isn’t enough…they want to ruin you in the civilian world with a DD. 

It’s absolutely uncalled for and just highlights the general hatred the left has for the military and reinforces my belief that the Biden/Obama people want to do everything in their power to break the back of the military.

Thx.

What worries me most is the most patriotic among us are considering not to join up for the defense of this country.

Joe's lies will be wounding us.

He may have a few turncoats in the puzzle palace, but he is afraid of the rest.

@IsailedawayfromFR rhats another part of their plan. Depress recruiting numbers to the point they have to cut the force because they can’t support the current end strength…then decrease the Defense Budget and use the money they take away from defense and pour it into their social welfare programs.

And that’s why he wants to run them out of the ranks.

If we have troops that refuse to take an unapproved drug who knows what might happen.. they could let millions of illegals into the country or abandon American citizens to terrorists... gotta keep the thumb on  these guys/gals...
