Air Force is first military branch to face rejection of vaccine mandate as thousands avoid shots

It seems to me that if the Government was serious about searching for and eliminating right wing terrorists lurking in the Armed Forces and Law Enforcement, that profiling them by their vaccine avoidance would be an obvious place to start. Then they could be eliminated from "service" for insubordination. What ever happened to following orders? The elimination of the threat would not be because of conspiracy or right wing terrorist activities, but just regular old breaking regulations.

In fact, though I hesitat to suggest a conspiracy theory tinfoilhat, what simpler way would there be to eliminate these dangerous threats from positions of armed authority? All the service chiefs have been debating how to clean up this problem, though most police unions certainly don't. I think it is diabolically clever to nudge them out by ordering a vaccine mandate designed specifically with this goal to smoke them out! tinfoilhat idea

Up to 12,000 Air Force personnel have rejected orders to get fully vaccinated against the coronavirus despite a Pentagon mandate and officials say it is too late for them to do so by Tuesday’s deadline, posing a first major test for military leaders whose August directive has been met with defiance among a segment of the force.

The vast majority of active-duty airmen, 96.4%, are at least partially vaccinated, according to data from the Air Force. But officials have warned that, barring an approved medical or religious exemption, those who defy lawful orders to be fully immunized are subject to punishment, including possible dismissal from the service or they could be charged in the military justice system.

My understanding is that US Military personnel are not required to follow illegal orders.

Since the entire executive branch is illegitimate due to the rigged election then any orders coming down the chain of command must be considered suspect.

Until Donald Trump is reinstated as the rightful and lawful president, no one in the military is really required to follow any orders which inconvenience them in any way.

Anti-vaxxers faced with a mandate often threaten to quit, but they will find it difficult to just go someplace else and get the same kind of job. Even if they do find some organization that supports anti-vaxxers, they may find that the new organization is forced by EO or court order to enforce a mandate. For example, people in the armed forces are not going to be able to switch to a lot of jobs that traditionally hire vets that are not subject to a vaccine mandate. A dishonorable discharge will make that even harder.

State and local officials, and CEOs with more than 50 employees who fight vax mandates are going to lose their jobs eventually. I think the best bet would be to start a small business. But you might not be able to get health insurance, or even liability insurance.

PIA...like everywhere else in the US, Republicans and their rejection of any law/rule/order they don't like will continue to be coddled.

Are you aware the Kyle Rittenhouse is likely to go free? Patriots killing commies is not as much against the law as commies killing patriots, capiche...?

And are you aware that an anti-vaccine republican is about to be elected governor of Virginia?

"When do we get to use the guns?"

Soon maybe...? This tyranny has driven many of them over the brink!

It would be like Burger King hiring all of the disgruntled, hard-to-daal-with, difficult ex-McDonald's employees.

Nobody invited the 17 year plmple-faced chubby kid to cross state lines with an AR-15 to defend a used car lot in the middle of the night. The 17 year old thought it all up himself.

If Rittenhouse "goes free" that will be very unfortunate, for him. There are millions of people willing to dole out justice for him, if justice is denied. You need massive security for life to survive that sort of thing, and I doubt he has the resources. He's made himself infamous by his own actions, and somebody (probably many somebodies) will decide to make a name for themselves by being the assassin of Kyle Rittenhouse.

The boy will have a lucrative career in white supremacist politics. Democrats haven't yet espoused vigilante assassinations in defiance of the US judicial system but I know you're rooting for it and arming yourself to kill some political enemies!

He's gonna walk free and be a Proud Boy who made his momma proud!

Even I barely remember who he killed or why at this point.

Remember, patriots killing commies is okay. That's all that happened here, move along, move along...

Trumpy Republican 'bout to win Virginia too.

Biden's numbers sinkin' like a bottom rig.

De Santis has offered $5K hiring bonus to any law enforcement from another state who loses his job because of a mandate.

And you think we're winning this little civil war?

Let's Go, Brandon!
