The 485,900 soldiers on active duty must be vaccinated by Dec. 15. But the 336,500 National Guard and 189,800 Reserve troops have until June 30, 2022, to be fully inoculated

Its EXTREMELY hard not to think the Democrats and tech companies colluded with the Chinese to do all this from the start.

The other mandates are quite overreaching to say the least.
But it's not surprising with soldiers though. Ask any soldier who's gone on tour what they had to get pumped with and they may not even be able to recite the list.
Also, the debate on whether the vaccine is effective aside, clearly the government thinks it's effective. So in their minds they don't want to risk an outbreak that could take whole units out of action. Something that would be a worse case scenario for combat readiness.

If it's an honorable discharge, good for them.
Their trajectory in life will be onward and upward, from this point forward.

Or the two parties collided to scream external collusion every election so they can hold power 🙄 (mostly joking)
The left and the right are broken records at this point. The only people who take them seriously are sycophants.

Nobody cares about discharges unless it’s a dishonorable discharge. There are tons of people with general, other than honorable, and medical discharges that do great in life.

I was thinking of those who go to work for contractors. But then again, those poor guys have got to get an injection with the experimental vaccine now too, don't they?
But you are right regarding most employers. They just want to ensure the veteran was not dishonorably discharged.
And maybe not many of them since there is such a employee shortage these days.
