President Donald Trump is set to sign three executive orders on Monday involving the U.S. military, including banning transgender service members, eliminating military DEI programs, and reinstating service members discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine.

    reinstating service members discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine.

    So, some idiots who won’t follow orders, are now ~4 years behind where they should be in rank, not to mention the not drilling etc since they got booted, and are an extra health risk to the unit.

    Yeah, this should do wonders for readiness.

    But it said they’ll be getting backpay, so I guess Harley, Corvette, and Mustang sales should go up.

      Lol, refusal to do their job vs people who actually want to be there.

      Fire the latter, keep the former - who also happen to be q-anons.

      In fairness, some of those people were told they’d be fine not getting it under some of the standard exceptions to vaccines. A few over medical concerns, etc… then that just ended up getting steamrolled. Not to say a bunch weren’t just displaying lawful orders, but some weren’t.

        When I went to play in the desert they shot me full of all kinds of shit. Saying no wasn’t and shouldn’t be an option.

          If you can do the duck walk and take the peanut butter shot, what’s another vaccine in the line of needles? Saying no means you can go work at Walmart instead
