Military Members Say They’ll “Quit” If Army Mandates COVID-19 Vaccine: Congressman

Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times,

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) said he was informed by some members of the U.S. military that they would quit if the armed forces mandated a COVID-19 vaccine, coming after a report claimed that Army headquarters told commanders to prepare for mandatory vaccinations in September.

“I’ve been contacted by members of our voluntary military who say they will quit if the COVID vaccine is mandated. I introduced HR 3860 to prohibit any mandatory requirement that a member of the Armed Forces receive a vaccination against COVID-19. It now has 24 sponsors,” Massie wrote on Twitter. He didn’t provide more details.

It isn’t clear how the service members could quit or how many would try to do so. Once a member reports to their first duty station, they are obligated to stay within the service of the armed forces. If a service member leaves without approval, they can be declared AWOL, or absent without leave.

The Republican lawmaker was referring to a report published by the Army Times over the weekend that detailed an executive order sent by the Department of the Army Headquarters that commands should be prepared to administer COVID-19 vaccines starting as early as Sept. 1. The date is contingent on when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issues its full approval of the vaccines.

The Army Times reported that it had obtained the directive, HQDA EXORD 225-21, COVID-19 Steady State.

“Commanders will continue COVID-19 vaccination operations and prepare for a directive to mandate COVID-19 vaccination for service members [on or around] 01 September 2021, pending full FDA licensure. Commands will be prepared to provide a backbrief on servicemember vaccination status and way ahead for completion once the vaccine is mandated,” the directive reads.

An EXORD is a directive issued by the president to the defense secretary to execute a military operation.

The Department of Defense and the U.S. Army didn’t respond to a request for comment by press time.

“We do not comment on leaked documents,” a U.S. Army spokesperson told the Army Times, noting that “the vaccine continues to be voluntary.”

“If we are directed by [Department of Defense] to change our posture, we are prepared to do so.”

On July 5, Massie noted that his Twitter post was “targeted” by “science-illiterate, military hating, angry blue [checkmark]” users on Twitter.

“There are no health outcomes based studies that show any benefit from the vaccine for those who have already had COVID,” he wrote.

The congressman also pointed to a Department of Defense study published in late June that found a higher number of military members who got the vaccine experienced higher than expected rates of heart inflammation.

U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force physicians found 23 cases of myocarditis, a type of heart inflammation, in previously healthy men. They developed the condition within four days of getting the vaccine, a study published in JAMA Cardiology found.

The study comes weeks after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention panel found a higher rate of heart inflammation after mRNA vaccines were administered. However, the agency and other health officials have said the benefit of getting the vaccine outweighs the risks.

The soldiers don’t have to quit, they can simply refuse…but the military probably doesn’t want that confrontation…

The FDA would never approve a treatment with so many adverse reactions. I have a feeling these meds have a lock on approval, no matter how many die

Agreed. They are talking about approval dates that are BEYOND ridiculous given the normal approval process (at least a couple years out). But federal law prevents the government from mandating Emergency Use Authorization drugs/vaccines, etc. and I suspect many employers are being hesitant for the same reasons. Once “approved,” there is little rebuttal. Any other “vaccine” with this kind of death rate, cardiac issues, stillbirths/miscarriages, etc. would NEVER get approved….but you know that ALL of these death jabs will get approved for sure. Already a done deal.

Why would we want to permanently Fuk up/ kill the people who are there to PROTECT this country and it’s citizens? Does that make ANY SENSE at all?? The VAERS stats are available to military brass. It’s dangerous to play Russian Vaccine Roulette with our soldiers.

You are right in principle of course, however they are still terrified of any human who would willingly (nay) willfully defend the good old U.S.A.

It’s a good thing we are armed and can do the job ourselves, unless the civilian population dies off at alarming rates due to the jab. I keep reading that the vaccinated will be gone within the next three years, but who knows what is true.

Why have they waited so long? If their intent is to leave us unprotected, the military should have gone first and certainly by now be vaxxed.

It would sure make it easy for CHINA to walk in via the UN if and when any real Americans try to stand up to this tyranny.

To make it easier for outsiders to waltz in and take over with minimal push back. The perfect plan.

We never mattered to them before the scamdemic and we sure as shit do not matter to them now lol. We are a means of profit for a select few from O-6 on up and some select E-8/9 types that gopher for the politicians and MIC.

Mygirl....maybe

Under this regime those soldiers are the enemy. Those soldiers are turned into faggots and tranny’s, given jabs and anything else that will weaken the US military. This is how you destroy a country from within and this regime is all about destroying America.

Just speculation, but maybe the loss of skilled Military is the goal of Xi-den.

They should quit bitching … They have NOTHING to worry about … Just like all the poor members of the military that got fucked-up by Gulf War Syndrome and were left twisting in the wind … Nothing to see here!!

Fuck these FUCKS!! They can suck a big one!!

What if the world we actually live in, is akin to George Orwell’s 1984? What if the entire population (aside from the elites) has been ‘played’. Perhaps this notion of us versus them is no longer needed. The next phase can begin and the masses can now be reduced.

If they refuse, they’ll face UMCJ, Article 15 consequences, at least. not many will refuse.

2 members or 200,000 members say this?

I feel sorry for soldiers being forced to take the Shit Shot. However, surely they knew when they joined up, that the military owned their asses lock, stock, and barrel.

Yes, a good many (most) were enlisted before Covid struck. But still ….

Don’t know what is going on but the military operates under the UCMJ; not the constitution nor administrative law.

The heart only inflames if the immune system is attacking it. This is a death sentence, not a temporary condition.

Permanent damage occurs and there are likely to be repeat episodes.

Administrative separation for failure to adapt. General under honorable conditions discharge. Submit request to upgrade to honorable a few years after discharge and voila. That is one way to quit the military by their rules.

Japan official says that Japan will stand with USA over Taiwan’s independence…
two days later japan issues covid emergency.

China is wary of japan.
India just put 50K troops on chinese border.
China can’t take on USA-Australia-Japan Navies.

Considering how hard it is to get people to join and even harder to pass the physical, it doesn’t seem well thought out with that as an incentive.

The powers-that-be, the ones running the game these days, want every non-wokster to leave the armed forces as soon as it can conveniently be arranged. They also want to discourage any non wokesters from joining. The armed forces are the only yhting between us and them. The fucking cops would go down in about 30 seconds if we brought fire onn them, and then the Army would be called. They want the armed forces full of people who will follow orders to fire on Americans, nothing less than that will save them.

Unfortunately, most (way more than 50%, maybe as high as 85% or so) of the people in the armed forces WILL follow (maybe reluctantly, with heavy hearts…) orders to fire on Americans. Right this minute, the remainder are concentrated in the best combat brigades, and it is just that crew that all this woke shit is designed to discourage and push out of the ranks.

If you are in, it is time to get out. If you are thinking about joining, don’t.
