The US Army is already lowering/ flexible on some grooming standards as well.
Retention is in the toilet in the US military Reserve component because 20000 in reserve and in 40,000 guard will not get the coronavirus vaccine.
They are now being disciplined and cannot show up to drill and may be kicked out eventually.
Welcome to the weird or what Canadian military.

If you are going to force people to take that "vaccine", get the SOB APPROVED, or quit using our military for Guinea pigs.

60,000 is four members is four divisions worth Army Navy and Air Force Reserves and guard Personnel who are no longer Mission capable.
Guard and Reserve are 55% of the total Force.

LTC (Join to see) - NMC on paper, FMC in real life. I have seen many administratively (Medical DQs) still get sent down range.

No sympathy for those refusing a vaccination, if they can't follow that simple order they don't belong.

Understood, just makes it worse and now you have to recruit wierdos like Canada.

Well said sirs! Those that won't and those who support their decision have "No Sympathy" for the Army's current woes when they were created by the Army. You can't shoot your self in the foot on purpose and complain about the pain you are feeling. Will never understand that mentality. I have several soldiers who are vaccinated walking in solidarity. They don't belong, that's great, they go home=too easy. However, many others are realizing how much they don't belong either. Hope it was worth it.

Every single one of them had already had dozens of vaccines to that point, which lets you know that their objections were political.
People who put their personal politics above their service don't belong in uniform anyway.

That is why they are leaving, the policy put politics above service, so they left/are leaving. Win=Win. "The way we've always done it" is never an argument, just an excuse.

MSG (Join to see) you got it backwards Hoss. Vaccinations have been mandatory since the 1700's.
There's nothing political about them. It's a basic operational readiness precaution that has served us well since our inception.

That is the most Army thing I have seen all day.
Those mandatory vaccinations to which you speak were tested for 2.5 decades creating a data set before being required. Not all vaccinations are created equal. To ignore the politicization of this vaccine is a negligence at the highest levels. Loosing @ 60k soldiers who are (for sake of argument) healthy isn't a readiness issue? I will stick with my "backwards" assessment if it's all the same to you.
