Army Begs Unvaccinated Soldiers to Return

by Igor Chudov
17 November 2023 11:22 AM

Oh, how much the times have changed!

The United States Army is now begging Covid unvaccinated soldiers who underwent involuntary discharge for their refusal to take the vaccine to return to service and also permits them to correct their military records.

Just two years ago, in a shameful campaign, the Pentagon was gleefully discharging soldiers who refused to take Covid vaccines.

We were assured that these discharges would “not affect military readiness”.

“I can tell you there are no operational impacts across the force for readiness,” Marine Corps Lt. Gen. David Ottignon told lawmakers. “There’s no one community that has signalled an instance where a [leader], an NCO or another enlisted Marine is not present because of that.”

The Marine Corps has, by far, kicked out the most service members: 1,968 total, 20% of whom received an honorable discharge. That amounts to just under 1% of the total force, which stands at about 215,000.

However, the readiness suffered: thousands of service members were dismissed, and potential recruits declined to enlist in the Armed Services, because, guess what, young healthy men loath Covid vaccines.

More than 17,000 service members balked at taking the shots, citing safety fears linked to the vaccine’s speedy development and spurred by misinformation [sic] about messenger ribonucleic acid technology, as well as concern over fetal cell lines used in formulation and testing. The more the controversy raged in the news, the more troops asked to skip the shots, Military Times reporting found.

The Covid vaccine mandate removed three times as many servicemembers (8,339, see above) compared to the 2,402 soldiers tragically killed in Afghanistan. The involuntarily terminated soldiers included, of course, the best, the brightest, the healthiest and most conscientious who cared the most about their health.

Thousands were given career-destroying reprimands:

Lt. Col. Terry Kelley, a spokesman for the Army, said that 2,767 soldiers have received “general officer written reprimands” — killing their opportunities for promotions or transfers within the military — and that two battalion commanders as well as four other officers have been relieved of their duties but remain enlisted in the military.

The leadership, sadly, stayed silent.

As a result, the military is missing its recruitment goals by 25%.

Covid vaccinations and other reasons “caused [the army’s] end strength to fall from an original level of 485,000 in late 2021 to around 452,000 active duty soldiers today”.

Now, Covid vaccinations are all but forgotten, but the bitterness, nastiness and senselessness of the mandates should be remembered. Remember how those dismissals were cheered by the media, such as the LA Times:

I am sorry about the destroyed careers of the best servicemembers. They kept their health and they will get military discharge papers corrected, but they will always remember the unfairness, the trauma and the helplessness they felt as their commanders dismissed them for not taking experimental and non-working Covid vaccines.

Life is not fair; the soldiers have not been compensated, but they at least remained healthy and true to their principles.

Please appreciate how hard it was for those brave souls to stick to their principles: their entire lives and careers were being wrecked by the illiberal Covid orders. These are courageous people – and the military needs stoic and strong heroes, of which 8,331 were dismissed due to insane orders of the Biden administration.

‘During World War II, U.S. Army Brigadier General S.L.A. Marshall asked average soldiers how they conducted themselves in battle. Before that, it had always been assumed that the average soldier would kill in combat simply because his country and his leaders had told him to do so, and because it might be essential to defend his own life and the lives of his friends.

Marshall’s singularly unexpected discovery was that, of every hundred men along the line of fire during the combat period, an average of only 15 to 20 “would take any part with their weapons.” This was consistently true, “whether the action was spread over a day, or two days, or three.”

Hope on the battlefield, Colonel Grossman 01 June 2007

Guess which soldiers the U.S. just got rid of…….

US military pitches are, along with the signing bonuses and benefits, touting “No COVID shot required to enter.” Others have pointed out that once the recruits are in, all bets are off. Trust surely is gone between the military and the citizenry as well as among individual troops indoctrinated with the woke anti-white, anti-male training. Will this resulting lack of military readiness stop the government from blundering into a war (or starting one to wag the dog or make a select few a lot of money)?

It’s thought that Gulf War Syndrome was caused by an experimental anthrax vaccine that the US military had to take. Soldiers from other nations that didn’t take the vaccine didn’t get Gulf War Syndrome. https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-forgotten-lessons-of-the-militarys

I heard it was medication for WMD. Officers told NCOs who told squaddies they should take it but not all officers did and nor did all the others.

The vaccine cocktail was administered by each Regimental Aid Post, to everyone, but everyone, on the Regimental roll, supervised by the Regimental doctor who took great pleasure in injecting all the Officers personally, much glee all round…..

NAPS tablets were handed out, everyone, but everyone, woken up during the night and reminded to take them….

Gulf War Illness (GWI):

‘The prior research linking low-level sarin exposure with brain pathology compatible with GWI and demonstrating the biochemically modifying effects of the PON1 Q isoenzyme on the effects of sarin satisfy the higher standard of evidence for a biological interaction. These findings constitute strong evidence for a causal role of low-level nerve agent in GWI.’

https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/10.1289/EHP9009

‘The FDA has confirmed that Squalene – an oil-based adjuvant that hyperactivates the immune system – was used in some of the batches of the anthrax vaccine given to military members in the early 1990s. Squalene is very dangerous to use as an adjuvant because it can cause the body’s immune system to self-destruct.

Over 2 million doses of the anthrax vaccine were given to United States military members from 1990 to 2001. Thousands of Gulf War Veterans may have received an anthrax vaccine with the Squalene adjuvant.’

Ah, the good old adjuvants, immunologists dirty little secret.
Nobody, and I mean nobody has a bloody clue why and precisely how they work.
Squalene is one of the latest the bastards have tried.- shark oil.
So, beware an outbreak of allergies to sharks.

Then there’s peanut oil adjuvants, and you might guess this may have something to do with kids being allergic to –

“involuntarily separated” means what.

Why addressed anonymously rather than by name?

Looks sloppy and seems likely to be treated with contempt by most.

They were ready to put their lives on the line in battle and were rewarded with being forced to resign?

Now they’re being asked to return?

Yeah. Good luck with that. Bastards.

I’d imagine the actual response would be far less polite.

The “invitation” to rejoin the army deserves a two-finger response.

I wonder how many armed services personnel were killed or disabled by the experimental gene therapies? More than in Iraq and Afghanistan?
