White House claims anything but dishonorable discharge for refusing vaccines would “detract from readiness and limit a commander’s options for enforcing good order and discipline.”
The Biden administration is pushing for dishonorable discharges and even court martialing for troops who disobey orders to get COVID vaccines.
GOP Representative Mark Green of Tennessee proposed an amendment this week to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would prohibit “any discharge but honorable” for troops who refuse vaccines.
The White House responded with a statement noting “The Administration strongly opposes section 716,” reasoning that it would “detract from readiness and limit a commander’s options for enforcing good order and discipline when a Service member fails to obey a lawful order to receive a vaccination.”

My sister retired as a Lt Col JAG officer after 23 years instead of taking the jab.
And yet ,congress and staff ,no vaxx jab requirements.

We need to support all who lose their work and community over these mandatory jabs.
They are adding trainers/leaders to our training regimen to support them in the future
But if you take illegal drugs, like his son Hunter, you get an honorable discharge.
A dishonorable discharge is considered a felony and therefore disqualifies someone from gun ownership. Clever way of disarming your opponents, huh?
Yeah, I am so done with this BUllSHIT. This is the last straw. Our soldiers have protected us and our rights only to be crapped on. Not cool Joe. If they are discharged then we have more troops. Let's support all that are affected by this. There is nothing dishonorable about it.
