That doesn't hunt, either. Essentially, you're both saying the National Guard is some joke, and that they'll never be deployed.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 4:52 pm upDid you even read the link OS posted? I was regular army. When my unit deployed to Panama in 1980 we had no choice about our vaccinations. We went into a room and received every vaccination uncle Sam told us we needed. The National Guard are called "citizen soldiers" for a reason. It gets much more complicated for these CO because their soldiers are citizens first. If your RA, different story.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 3:46 pmGuess they don’t believe in chain of command.

The Army just lost 2 Battalion Commanders over this. Let's see how many more Marines we lose. It's totally unnecessary.ggait wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 3:23 pm Oh please just stop with the mouth breather gaslighting bull shirt, Salty.
FYI, the mouth breather governor from OK has raised no objection to any of the 17 other vaccinations that NG service members are required to get for diseases such as Anthrax, Chickenpox, Polio, Rabies, Typhoid, and Measles, Mumps, and Rubella.
Just kick the anti-vax mouth breathers out of the NG if they won't take the shot. Fork 'em.
They likely suck as soldiers anyway. Probably the kind of jack wad service members (of which there were soooo many) storming the Capital on 1/6. Good Riddance!!!!

It's not just a problem in OK. https://www.defenseone.com/policy/2021/ ... ds/359827/
And this isn't the last vaccine we'll need them to take, fellas.
The ENTIRE reason that this is even at issue is BS right wing propaganda. A political football being exploited to chase down votes.
As I wrote earlier------I'll believe that Republican leaders are serious about refusing to mandate vaccines the minute they strike down the vaccine mandates in their home State.
The FACT that they aren't doing that tells you all you need to know------they aren't honestly against government vaccine mandates, and they are taking their voters for yet another ride.
