Thousands of Marines, soldiers, sailors and airmen were
dismissed from the service because they refused to get the Covid-19
vaccines and that also had been happening with the National
Guard. We’re getting this mandate off the books and then
we’ll see about opening the door for these individuals to return to
service. There were religious and medical exemptions for the
vaccines but fewer than half of one percent of those seeking
exemptions were given a waiver. The general staff of the
services haven’t listened to the concerns of the enlisted
military. These are the service members who volunteer, raise
their hand and take an oath to defend the Constitution and the
nation. These are the people many of whom have risked their
lives in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan and these are the people
the Pentagon ignored.
