Depending on the service, U.S. troops have up to a couple of months or as little as just three weeks to get fully vaccinated before they are ordered out, but reports suggest that hundreds of thousands have still only had one dose of a Covid vaccine or no doses at all. RT has the story.
In August, members of the U.S. military services were informed that immunisation against Covid would be required as part of new directives from President Joe Biden. According to data analyzed in a Washington Post report, however, inoculation rates among America’s more than two million soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines are lagging in many areas.
Deadlines for individual services vary, but many are facing a situation where only weeks remain to get thousands of personnel to agree to being jabbed. The Marine Corps and Navy are both facing November 28th deadlines, but the former has a 72% vaccination rate, while the latter has a much higher 90% rate. The Air Force, on the other hand, has just three weeks to get approximately 60,000 personnel fully jabbed.
The rate in the active-duty Army stands at 81%, though it’s the Army Reserve and National Guard that have truly lagged. Those branches, which number over 500,000 people, have vaccination rates of approximately 40%. Those on active-duty are facing a December 15th deadline, but Guard and Reserve members do not have to comply until June 30th. …
Some have questioned the military’s long deadlines, especially for the Guard and Reserve, and whether they will impact readiness. Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Arizona) called the June deadline “jarring” and said it would leave room for thousands of troops to “not be deployable”. …
Military officials have previously stated that no soldier will be allowed to be on federal orders and to leave their home station without being vaccinated first.
It remains to be seen how many soldiers will actually defy the vaccine mandate – or what would happen to them if they do – but other industries are already seeing the impact, with hospitals and airlines reportedly facing staffing issues stemming from employees unhappy with vaccine mandates.

All the better to install Xi in place of Biden!
Texas declaring it illegal anyway.
All the troops refusing vaccines can relocate and join forces with the Free Republic of Texas.
Are you sure? The National Guard might be an entity in Texas, but the US Army and USAF don’t work for an entity in Texas. And, contitutionally, no US state can have their own navy, so that’s all federal. The regular servicemen are federal, and their Commander-in-Chief is Joe Biden, Vaccinator-in-Chief.
Once again we have a regime demanding healthy young people, mostly in their 20s and 30s, with a covid-19 infection survival rate of 99.986% / 99.969% respectively, submit to an experimental gene therapy which has been banned in more sensible countries to prevent heart damage in young people. Worse, it offers an absolute risk reduction from severe disease/death from covid-19 of less than 1.5% to the individual being coerced into taking it.
And the regime doesn’t even bother to come up with a reason why these men and women must take it. It just says “take it or get fired”. And we’re then invited to believe we’re the good guys.
When you enlist as soldier you sell your body to the regime anyway and should be the last person to complain that the regime acts like it owns it.
True … but surely you still have some rights?
You sign up to defend freedoms, like the freedom to choose not to receive an experimental medical intervention of questionable use.
And there is the concept of being able to disobey orders that are illegal or contrary to various military codes.
Glad I’m not in the forces with you as my commanding officer.
“Defend freedoms” my ass, this is just the pretentious story told to kids to recruit them. We all know whom the military really defends, and it ain’t no freedom people.
Well, it may be a story but that’s what motivates some of them.
We all remember Jack Nicholson’s famous line when he played a Marine Colonel in charge of Guantanamo Bay military base in Cuba …
“You can’t handle the truth!”
Here was this colonel’s “truth:” If U.s. Marines weren’t “on those walls” in Cuba, America’s freedoms would be in jeopardy from …. Cuba. Or, I guess, that Cuba would invade and conquer America so he and the Marines he led were protecting America’s national security from the threat of …. the Cuban military.
So I ask: Who couldn’t really handle the truth?
I guess we could also substitute Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran Libya, etc for “Cuba.”
BTW, who is rapidly taking away the freedoms of Americans right now? What nation’s government?
Yes – it does bring compliance into perspective. However, the Nuremberg trials ruled out ‘only following orders’ as an excuse for any violation of basic ethical principles.
Of course, although the biggest users of terror threats and practise, in comparison with which, IS and Al Qaeda inspired nutters etc. are less than a pinprick, standing armies try to exempt themselves from the charge.
Such as nightly firebombing of cities in order to demoralize civilians perhaps?
The Nuremberg trials demonstrated that the entity who wins a war declares something as just or unjust as it sees fit and apart from that, it’s Vae Victis.
The hard truth.
“nightly firebombing of cities in order to demoralize civilians“
Or the atomic destruction of entire towns full of civilians, women, children, babies in order to terrorise the government into prompt surrender?
Indeed. However, it’s only called ‘terrorism’ if it’s small-scale and not at the behest of a government.
Interesting to consider the current use of government-inspired terror against its own citizens alongside the more common usage.
“However, it’s only called ‘terrorism’ if it’s small-scale and not at the behest of a government.”
That’s Official Truth.
Myself I stick to the original definition of terrorism, from back before the US sphere governments decided it needed to be changed to avoid embarrassment for them:
“policy intended to strike terror in those against whom it is adopted“
As such it implicitly includes government actions, and indeed the political idea in English culture originates with the state Terror in revolutionary France.
I think you’ll find the ethics associated with the individual rights of military personnel have moved on over the last 50 years.
And that is among reasons why you should start learning Chinese today.
Interesting theory. Do you think Biden could mandate forced, surgical sex change on soldiers? If the bodies of soldiers were property of the people employing them, that should certainly be possible.
Shh! FFS! Don’t give the woke lefties ideas like that! They probably haven’t thought of it yet, but they’d absolutely love it!
Interesting you should be obsessing over ‘woke lefties’ when my current worry is god-bothering righty obsessive Trumpettes like P & G Breggin who manage to take really good research and then turn it into a one-eyed diversion that misses the core what is really going on currently – as China outsmarts the US at its own game without getting hoisted with its own petard.
The one-eyed point-missing obsessions make it more difficult to get arguments over to the uncommitted, who pick up on the fact that it looks too much like a rabbit hole.
“Interesting you should be obsessing over ‘woke lefties’”
Interesting perhaps, but hardly surprising given the profound harm they are doing to our society with their fanatical zealotry, hatred of freedom of speech and intolerance of dissent. What is more odd is your determination to ignore them and have others do likewise.
“god-bothering righty obsessive Trumpettes“
Since you mention “one-eyed point-missing obsessions”.
As for P&G Breggin, whoever they are I haven’t noticed them.
I was making a counter-argument to soldiers sell their bodies to the state (and hence, the state is free to do with those bodies whatever the current government desires to do with them).
I also have a fundamental dislike for people who call me privileged and desire to hold me personally responsible for everything bad which happened in the world since times immemorial because I was simply born the just-wrong-in-every-respect kind of person. Say, because I went through two periods in my life where I was slowly starving while relying on collecting left-over bottles for cash and thrown-away food because I was hungry while the people lobbing these accusation at me will hardly ever have gotten really wet due to a misfortune.
OTOH, these are still biographical details about me which are of absolutely no concern and nobody’s business. Shifting the topic of some discussion to typically disparaging speculations about people making statements is a run-of-the-mill disinformation tactic or a sign of a lack of arguments.
I suspect many in the US Armed Services, such as those in the aviation industry, are going to say “Let`s Go Brandon “.
…
Good.
I hope unvaccinated US troops hold their line.
They signed up to protect the land of the free not technocrats and medical tyrants.
We’re in the grip of an ideological war.
They the WEF corralled globalists and their puppet govts want to kill-off nationalism – for the greater good – hence why having any sovereign national army is pointless in their NEW NORMAL worldview.
Think StarTrek one united, diverse multi-cultural, all shades of colour and sexuality happy global family, all pulling together no longer fighting about the dwindling assets left.
Why do they our elitist overlords think this? They believe anthropogenic climate change is the most pressing problem so they needed a RESET vector to change [disaster capitalism] how the world works.
Hence the worldwide lockdown, post which they hoped the reboot would see us all blinking back into the sunlight enlightened with their uniting vision.
There is minority pushback – they have planned for this.
But so far they are currently winning [hearts-n-minds] with their BUILD BACK BETTER strategy in Australia, Canada, NZ, France, Italy, Eire, Netherlands and most of the G7 in fact.
However it’s a massive gamble, defo if the Chinese can’t resist pushing into Taiwan for its semiconductor manufacturing plants.
Equally the puppet cadaver Biden has rouge states in the US to deal with, they are outliers, the bankers are fully onboard with the NWO, hence BoJo being a current guest of a Goldsmith/Rothschild held asset.
The big picture plan of course is to reduce the dissenters and keep pushing through with this brighter, cleaner, greener new world they envision.
Trouble is with robotics and AI you no longer need a massive serf-class.
As you were.
‘They believe anthropogenic climate change is the most pressing problem’.
Nah, they know that’s hokum, too. However, they also know they can use it to enforce ever-greater control over the masses! Compulsory euthanasia at 70? Well, you’re doing your part for the environment!
Correct, the true “greatest problem” is that masses of unemployed pissed off people may overthrow the establishment. Authoritarian control and automated repression is the solution.
unemployment is caused by government fines for productive work AKA income taxes.
But without the income taxes the welfare state for billionaires couldn’t run.
So you are saying that the destruction of the national military forces is to pave the way for a supranational army? One which will indifferently enforce obedience on any population?
In this future the enemy will not be another nation, but internal dissenters in the host population.
“In this future the enemy will not be another nation, but internal dissenters in the host population.”
That’s not the future, that’s the Democrat-run US today, where the Natonal Security Division of the DoJ is now openly tasked with suppressing dissent:
“According to [US Attorney General] Garland, effective immediately, the NSD is handling the investigation of “harassment, intimidation and threats of violence against school board members, teachers and workers in our nation’s public schools”.
This is aimed at political dissenters, namely parents who are angry at their children being forcibly indoctrinated at school in woke nonsense, forced to wear masks, and in due course coercively “vaccinated”.
We are far less open about these things than the US, but it’s a pretty safe bet it’s going on here as well.
Hello Kate.
We already have supranational armies NATO is a combined force sharing bases, though the recent AUS/UK/USA submarine deal debacle shows this isn’t a simple black/white NEW NORMAL clean shift. The EU has also hinted toward its own well-defined euromiltel possibility.
The Russians and Chinese too combine on military exercises when it suits.
However we all know the planet is a finite size, with closed scope energy classes, fresh water availability and food calorie possibilities. So longer-term to have a single UN style global force one can see a BUILD BACK logic to it. The resources needed to keep everyone in check wasteful on a national level.
If the GREAT RESET agenda wins through then think on nationalism being reduced to a fancy-dress pageantry thing. The younger international gens already think of themselves as global players/travellers – hence in the UK their anti Brexit voting stance.
Greta Thunberg speaks to them directly as she was manufactured to do so. Veganism is increasing amongst the young as is the [false] pessimistic view on the planets chances. Many 1st world child-bearing age women don’t want children as they think it pointless.
[All of this isn’t a coincidence]
Though if you look to powerful family lines and dynasties you’ll see no pull-back in child making there…
As to the dissenters, the magic of the RESET is the smartphone tech does for them, especially so when tied to digital time-coded currency. As the technogrid shuts them down… more will cave in.
The hardcore resisters will likely end up in camps.
Govts are experts at violence – if you need to bet on anything – bet on that.
Thanks for the reply. This is an ambitious goal, I wonder if it can really come about. But I agree with you that it looks as if the globalists are aiming for this.
So the fancy dress nationalism includes the illusion of parliaments and votes? In which case we are nearly there.
on a recent march was told by wife of a serving officer that British troops when posted for tours/training abroad have to be jabbed or lose their jobs.
Indeed. I remember when a friend of mine was shipped out to fight in the Gulf War (1990) as an NCO, his biggest complaint beforehand (apart from thinking he might die) was feeling like a pincushion. I also recall a lot of servicemen later blamed those cocktails of jabs for some harmful effects. Not sure if that was ever gotten to the bottom of.
The wrongful thing about imposing this particular “vaccine” on the military is that they are forcing it on them basically for political reasons – there’s no plausible threat to military men from this jumped up cold that could possibly outweigh the real and potential risks of these experimental therapies.
The harms to servicemen in the Gulf came from the burning of toxic waste dumps (without adequate protection) radiation injury from the allies depleted uranium weapons, and squalene based adjuvants for the vaccinations prior to deployment.
Some of the servicemen never went to the Gulf, but contracted “Gulf war Syndrome” nevertheless from the vaccines.
Their injuries were swept under the carpet by HMG which saved the taxpayer a lot of money in compensation claims, and those responsible for these policies any legal culpability.
I do not know what has happened to the injured servicemen. I assume they are still ill, as there has been no adequate research into the causes of their injuries. In fact I knew a doctor from Washington who was treating Gulf war injured, he told me his samples frequently went missing and the military did their best to frustrate any progress in determining the cause of injury. He said the men has iron in their brains. Which may have been the military grade thermite used for tank busting missiles.
I suppose if your weapons are military secrets, you don’t want anyone investigating the injuries they cause as it might give some secrets away to the other side.
My recollection of the outcome is a bit vague, but I do recall mention of vaccinations as one possible cause or contributory factor, and I don’t think there was any really strong understanding in the end of exactly what was going on – probably a bunch of different issues.
Wikipedia, fwiw, mentions issues with both an anthrax vaccination, and numbers of simultaneous vaccinations as potentially contributing:
“While recent studies have demonstrated the vaccine is highly reactogenic,[51] and causes motor neuron death in mice,[52] there is no clear evidence or epidemiological studies on Gulf War veterans linking the vaccine to Gulf War illness. Combining this with the lack of symptoms from current deployments of individuals who have received the vaccine led the Committee on Gulf War Veterans’ Illnesses to conclude that the vaccine is not a likely cause of Gulf War illness for most ill veterans.[9] However, the committee report does point out that veterans who received a larger number of various vaccines in advance of deployment have shown higher rates of persistent symptoms since the war.“
Pathetic posturing by Biden and his ilk is no surprise. If a real life situation occurred requiring military intervention you can bet your bottom dollar he would send troops out, Vax or no Vax.
You’d think it would be sensible to have a ‘strategic reserve’ of unvaccinated military personnel, just in case.
I think that’s what a militia is for.
Despite looming deadlines?
So not because of health reasons then?
“Fully vaccinated” Do wish DS would stop using this phrase. It’s meaningless, because its meaning shifts according to the political requirements of whoever uses it. It has no medical significance whatsoever. It’s simply a propaganda term.
I rather like the converse – emptily unvaccinated.
You may need a strong stomach if you’ve recently finished lunch …
https://jamesfetzer.org/2021/10/parasitic-organism-dubbed-the-thing-found-in-covid-vaccines-dr-franc-zalewski-thats-why-theres-graphene-added-inside-the-vaccines-which-nourishes-the/
But how reliable is Dr Zalewski? No CV is listed. In all groups of experts there are some who may add 2+2 and get 5 … or worse are lethal to their clients (think Harold Shipman).
He doesn’t mention the manufacturer either does he? (though I presume Pfizer, the others seem to be offered in more limited markets.) I can’t see how this would profit pharma anyway, only perhaps the banksters who want a new financial system
I suppose the plus is that at this stage even mistaken reports and theories will serve to scare any adults who are still in two minds on taking it and therefore be in their own interests. As for me, rational argument convinced me that the risks outweigh the benefits 12 months ago (I’m 68).
Airlines also facing problems with pilots dying on and off duty, but hey ho.
https://rumble.com/vnlwi9-sources-vaxxed-delta-pilot-dies-in-flight-emergency-landing-required.html
The data on DVTs and frequent air travel is well-understood. So if you were even a moderately smart and aware aviator you’ve likely twigged by now that these new novel COVID vaxxes create spike protein havoc in your bloodstream that pumps through your vital organs.
Why the surprise then when vast numbers of them say “NO THANKS” and the less aware ones, well due to health issues some go early retirement.
Lee Merritt has pointed out that these airmen are flying planes equipped with lethal missiles We do not want them having a stroke in the air.
Yikes!
Died of delta.
‘Fully vaccinated’ means nothing.
It’s been a couple of months since I looked at the mortality numbers, but last time I did I learned that only about 25 service members had died from or with COVID in the first 15 or so months of the pandemic. More than half of these deaths were among the older reservists and National Guard.
I do remember that no active duty Marine or Air Force personnel had died of COVID.
Anyway, the mortality odds a healthy young active duty military member will die from COVID are about the same a child, student, athlete or young adult will die.
I don’t know why these mortality statistics (you know, a little “context”) never get mentioned in these stories … then again, I do.
Gulf war syndrome anyone?
They’ll never be ‘fully vaccinated’, no one will, that’s the plan
For those few that say that the Covid experimental jabs are deliberate “death shots” for population control why would the Powers That Be give “death shots” to the very people they need to police and control the masses ie the military?
I’m sure some convoluted soul will suggest that the military are only being given a placebo and not the real deal but that is a conspiracy theory too far.
