So what happens when your recruiting is down 60% and no one is willing to join ?
Today only about 30% of males qualify and if a large percentage are not willing to join ?
Losing 40-50,000 experienced soldiers that are difficult to replace puts us in a weakened position.
No matter how you feel about the vaccine.
What would you rather have, a unvaccinated Master Sargent with 20+ years experience or some idiot straight out of boot camp?
Sure, only if they enlisted in the military on or after February 2020
Or if they enlisted before that and were stupid. You agree to do follow orders. Period, full stop. If they don't like it, they don't have to take the shot.

The vaccine has little to do with recruitment issues. Do you also blame the shortage of McDonald's workers on the vaccines?
There are grounds for concerns that don't just relate to the safety of the vaccine - do you feel that a solider shouldn't act on ethical concerns? .... always follow orders?
Well just the draft.
So what about Vietnam and Korea? - shouldn't drafted soldiers have a choice with the vaccine?
The military treats everyone the same you don’t get a vote

The ant-Vaxers pray for a meltdown, we have seen this with medical workers, teachers, police and it usually amounts to nothing. I would bet that a large majority won’t toss a pension and pay over a vaccine. We will see.
Surprised it took this long and was a bit surprised that military personnel would complain about vaccines. The Military vaccinates for a ton of things regular citizens are not immunized for prior to every deployment, its REQUIRED.
If you're in the military, have deployed overseas, and are worried about vaccinations, it's too late for you as you've been vaccinated for a ton of things that you likely didn't know existed.
Again just a bit surprised that military personnel would care about the Covid vaccine and not worry about Small Pox, Yellow Fever, and about 6-7 other vaccines you receive before deployment to the Middle East or Asia, many of which have serious side effects which is why they are not used for non-military personell.
The iron lung predates the polio vaccine by around 20 years.
1955, the tainted Cutter vaccine infected 57,000. Killed 21,000 and the following year 38,000 were infected.
Just another government pushed vaccine that hurt many children.
