Army cuts pay, benefits from 57,000 unvaccinated National Guard, Reserves
Roughly 57,000 Army National Guardsmen and Army Reservists who have yet to get vaccinated against the coronavirus will be barred from their duties, effectively cutting their pay and benefits an Army official confirmed for Fox News Digital.
"Beginning July 1, 2022, members of the Army National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve who have refused the lawful DOD COVID-19 vaccination order without an approved or pending exemption may not participate in federally funded drills and training and will not receive pay or retirement credit," the Army said in a July 1 release obtained by Fox News Digital.
The announcement came one day after the June 30 deadline passed requiring soldiers in the Army National Guard to get the shots in their arms.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin in November said that members of the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard who refused to get vaccinated would be barred from participating in trainings and their pay would be blocked.
Austin also warned that the continued refusal to get vaccinated could result in "separation" or expulsion from the service.
Roughly 13 percent of the Army National Guard and 12 percent of Army Reservists remain unvaccinated — a margin that could prove detrimental to the ranks as the service struggles with low recruitment.

Weird. Earlier someone was arguing that vaccines and abortions are both not required.

I'm sure the higher ups that are vaxxed will be willing to take a bullet. Or 12

They want very compliant bootlickers. The kind who will turn the guns on Americans

I’ll say it: frick this country.
So these men and women have served the US of A, but because a new virus has been borne—one about which we’re still learning much—they’re being denied benefits and promotions they and their families have earned.
I think I’m an extremist. Because this decision adds to my ever-growing list of reasons why I want no part of the US government.
I’ve always been as patriotic a person as the next. But it’s time we recognized that our patriotism is built upon what this country was built upon, not what it’s become.

Their body. Their choice.

There is no cOViD vaccine.

I don't think there's any other president in American history who would have done this.
Obama would have likely WANTED to do it but I don't think he would have. Biden is such a hack - he's a spineless coward who cares nothing about his moderate past or the promises he made to unite.
Biden is the worst ever. I despise him

I love how the 100lb overweight guy is lecturing people on Rona.

Can we vote on who goes first? Kamala gets my vote, I don't think Joe could stand long enough to take a bullet

Army & Navy are both significantly below their recruiting requirements; cut these 57,000 off the rolls & this country would be in serious shite if something breaks out with China. Same China whose military numbers are setting records for numbers.

Do they know what year it is?

The vaccine is almost worthless against the current variants of Covid. There is literally no reason to get vaccinated at this point. None.

obama IS DOING ALL OF THIS shite!
Biden is a senile puppet being propped up as the face in front of the teleprompter while obama's lackeys run policy from behind the scenes.
Just look at who he has for advisors and staff.
Most of them are recycled from 2008-2016, and the new ones are even more radical Marxists.

That is evil, but a pay cut is better than a heart attack. FJB

So the Amazonian and Rainbow brigades haven’t shown up like we were told they would and they want to get rid of the actual patriots.
