OMG Officials Debate How To Punish Military Members Who Aren't Vaccinated
Thanks to Biden's pro-socialist style forced mandates military officials now face the reality of handing down punishments to service members who disobey.
According to KDVR, as "the deadline looms for military and defense civilians to get mandated COVID-19 vaccines, senior leaders must now wrestle with the fate of those who flatly refuse the shots or are seeking exemptions, and how to make sure they are treated fairly and equally".
"The vast majority of the active-duty force has received at least one shot, but tens of thousands have not. For some, it may be a career-ending decision. Others could face transfers, travel restrictions, limits on deployments, and requirements to repay bonuses.
Exemption decisions for medical, religious, and administrative reasons will be made by unit commanders around the world, on what the Pentagon says will be a “case-by-case” basis. That raises a vexing issue for military leaders who are pushing a vaccine mandate seen as critical to maintaining a healthy force, but want to avoid a haphazard, inconsistent approach with those who refuse."
Possible Punishment Service Members Face For Disobeying Mandate Orders:
"Options for punishment are still being debated. Noncompliant troops may face restrictions on travel and assignment opportunities, reductions in pay and/or rank, or even forfeiture of previously awarded bonuses. In the most drastic scenarios, they could be put in the brig or dismissed from the service entirely."
In most cases, unit commanders will be the final decision-makers on how a service member is punished which will create wild inconsistencies. You'll inevitably have some commanders who are more sympathetic to a service member's personal and spiritual choices. But you'll also more than likely have diehard sticklers who will demand absolute compliance and disregard exemptions.
Anyone who's ever been in or around the military should know what I'm talking about.
I find this wildly dangerous and just piss-poor timing. The United States has tensions swelling between its greatest adversaries— China and Russia. Not to mention the growing threat of a potential terrorist attack thanks to the sloppy withdrawal from Afghanistan and broken immigration policies.
