(Or words to that effect.) I think the "Really intelligent thought" was sarcasm.

I did. For 10 years. It used to be called the United States Marine Corps. Not sure what the deniers and social heroes are calling it these days.


So you are okay with

- lowering standards to allow females to serve in combat arms?
- allowing servicemen/women to transition on tax payer dollars and become non-deployable?
- the absolute lack of accountability for the cluster frick that was our withdrawal from Afghanistan?
- and forcing every swinging dick to take an experimental vaccine after the shite storm that occurred from the anthrax vaccine?

If you answered yes to even one of these questions you should see a shrink!

Mine also. I have no faith in the current leadership (civilian and Flag officer corps) to do the right thing! When I did serve 20 years ago we had Flag Officers that resigned their commissions rather than go along to get along with the Clintons.

The Navy is perfectly willing to kick out highly trained SEALS over their refusal to take an experimental vaccine against a disease that is no more than a cold to the men of their age and physical readiness. Insanity!


A “vaccine” that is ~12% effective…..let that sink in. Ivermectin is safe and much more effective!

Other candidates for Promotion will be preferred because of their skin color, their gender (or lack thereof), or their sexual orientation. In the US military, it is "up or out", so, if you are not promoted, you are kicked out of the service, regardless of whether you have yet qualified for Active Duty Retirement pay.


You should be glad if this is the worst of it. Putting quota hires into leadership billets in combat arms fields is a good way to get young hard chargers killed when the SHTF. Just remember 2nd Lt. Dumbfrick can get you killed. All the more offensive if you get killed while humping her gear when she gets all tuckered out leading from the rear.

Really suprised at this. Would think catering to 15% of the population while daily calling >60% of the population racists would lead to terrific enlistment numbers.

Damage is done. Probably for a generation.

The military gets over half of their enlistments from the southern states. Over half of the young men in the target demographic, ages 18-24, did not want to take the COVID vaccine.


Lol at not serving your country over a vaccine.

The rest I'll buy, and it's completely idiotic.


Your return was strong….don’t frick it up with these types of posts.

If some dude wants to possibly die for the US I’m not going to prevent him from joining the military over his reluctance to take a experimental MRNA vaccine. If we “follow the science “ it seems the young soldiers have less than a 1% chance of getting sick and dying of Covid19. There’s also no denying the vaccines do not stop the spread of Covid19 to either the vaccinated or unvaccinated.

Requiring recruits to get shots isn't new.


Irrelevant

Nobody cares what you would rather have. American patriots who want to serve this country are being prevented from doing so during a recruitment crisis because the don't want to take a vaccine for a illness that won't affect them, for the sole purpose of making Pfizer and Moderna rich.

War isn’t the moneymaker it once was…unless the nature of war has changed categorically.

Any thoughts?

Turns out, that's exactly why you can get the shot or you can tell some 20 year old Marine about how you would've served, but...

I'm never going to side with a bunch of whining millennials who don't want to get a flu shot because they heard some jackass on YouTube making shite up.

That’s a very uninformed statement of opinion.

You were injected with an experimental vaccination as a Marine?

Were you an NBC pogue or just a liar?
