Soldiers who refuse to get vaccinated, as ordered to do so in September, will be “flagged,” Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said in a memo this week obtained by The Epoch Times.
That means they can’t re-enlist, be promoted, apply for or receive tuition assistance, or be reassigned.
The new guidance applies to soldiers who remain unvaccinated and have not received an exemption, or still have an exemption request pending.

“The Army’s updated guidance extends the flagging action until the soldier is fully vaccinated, receives an approved medical or administrative exemption, or is separated from the Army. Commanders are also authorized to now impose bars to continued service for unvaccinated soldiers who are not pending final decision on an exemption request,” an Army spokesman told The Epoch Times in an email.The memo came after Oklahoma’s Brig. Gen. Thomas Mancino, Oklahoma’s adjutant general, issued an order stating no guardsmen in the state have to get a COVID-19 vaccine.Pentagon officials later said that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s vaccine order overrides those issued on the state level.Active-duty soldiers have until Dec. 15 to become “fully vaccinated.” That term at present refers to getting two doses […]

Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today.

But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
