US Army commanders are to initiate "involuntary administrative separation proceedings" against any soldier refusing to get a Covid-19 vaccine, the Army said in a statement on Wednesday, citing a fresh directive by Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth.
The order applies to regular army soldiers, active-duty army reservists, and cadets. The only exceptions are those who have approved or pending vaccination exemption requests, the Army said.
Personnel whose requests for exemption on medical or religious grounds have been rejected can appeal that decision, but will have just seven days from the final refusal to either begin a vaccination regimen or face dismissal from service.
Comment: In other words, this is an exercise in futility.
Soldiers who are set to leave the force or begin transition leave on or before July 1, 2022, will also be granted an exemption, the Army said.
However, in all other cases, commanders are required to "process these separation actions as expeditiously as possible," the Army said, pointing to a directive issued on January 31 that details the procedure. Anyone who is to be discharged under the directive will not be eligible for involuntary separation pay and may see their unearned special or incentive pays withheld as well.

Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth said:
"Army readiness depends on soldiers who are prepared to train, deploy, fight and win our nation's wars. Unvaccinated soldiers present risk to the force and jeopardize readiness."The Pentagon made vaccination mandatory for all service members in August 2021. In mid-December, the Army reported a 96% vaccination rate among active-duty servicemen, while saying that 98% had received at least one dose.
The Army said it had not discharged any soldiers solely for refusing to receive a jab so far, though it has relieved six 'Army leaders', including two battalion commanders, and issued 3,073 reprimands to personnel for rejecting the vaccination order.
The US Army will not be the first military branch to kick out personnel for refusing to be vaccinated. The US Air Force has already adopted such a measure, recently sacking active-duty airmen by the dozens over the issue.

america makes friends, betrays them, stabs them in the back, rapes them for its resources, and rapes the women and young girls to breed out the race, thats a typical nazi move, back in the day.. again.. go figure,
the world is now, on a rope, more tense than the cuban crisis back in the day, and its all down to a penis piano playing ukrainian fukwit comedian whom bcame president, then dissolved the parliament, typical fuckwit..
karma coming back to earth normal citizens.. stay strong, as the weak, will fall first, nations and its citizens,, thanks america for all..
thats isreali currency right? so wtf??
Spanish Flu Real Story
This story will likely be ignored by mainstream media because their salaries are paid by pharmaceutical advertising. The next time you hear someone say "vaccines save lives" please remember that the true story of the cost/benefit of vaccines is much more complicated than their three-word slogan. Also remember that vaccines from USA military experiments may have killed 100 million people out of 1.8 billlion world's population in 1918-19. If true, those costs greatly outweighed any benefit, especially considering that plumbers, electricians, sandhogs and engineers did, and continue to do, the real work which reduces mortality from disease.
