| Okay, guys, this is a really big deal. | |
| So according to Rep. Mike Johnson from Louisiana, Chairman of the House Republicans, constitutional lawyer, small business owner, someone who probably knows a little bit about some of these things and certainly about retention and running an operation. | |
| Apparently, the Army Reserve and the National Guard deadline imposed by the Secretary of Defense for mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations is June 30th. | |
| Let's see what those effects are going to have. | |
| So, so far the SecDef's COVID vaccine mandate is causing major damage to the readiness of our armed forces, in particular the military. | |
| At the moment, 13% of the National Guard, 10% of the reserves, and at least 24,250 active soldiers Face expulsion for not receiving the mandatory COVID-19 vaccines. | |
| In some states, approximately 25% of National Guardsmen are unvaccinated. | |
| Remember, guard work is part-time, so Guardsmen don't have to follow a mandate in order to keep their regular livelihoods. | |
| Imagine staying in business if your company lost 25% of its workforce. | |
| Johnson's onto something here, guys. | |
| At this point, you see some of the things going on. | |
| You see the insane recruitment videos. | |
| You see some of the garbage they've been putting. | |
| Whether it was some of the videos we've talked about here in the past. | |
| You know, Russia and China, they're salivating. | |
| It has to be by design at this point, in my opinion, right? | |
| It has to be by design that we're trying to actually destroy this. | |
| The people we'd actually want fighting for us in the army and otherwise, that maybe, you know, conservative and or not believe in mandates or, like... | |
| Is the purge, like, are they actively trying to get rid of those who would probably do the best job? | |
| But thanks to SECDEF's VAX mandate, in addition to Army retention, Army recruitment is also failing, Rep. | |
| Johnson tells us. The Army has met just 40% of its recruiting target for 2022 despite dropping the requirements to have a high school diploma or GED. Think about that for a second, guys. | |
| You drop the standards like they've been doing with so many other things, right? | |
| Nothing matters anymore. | |
| Yeah, sure, you can be in the Army. | |
| What could go wrong? They drop the standards and they still can't meet their recruiting goals. | |
| The recruiting crisis is only accelerating, he says. | |
| In April, the Army offered 10K to potential recruits to go to basic training within 30 days. | |
| In June, not that long afterwards, they offered $25K. And last week, the Army began offering recruits in any career field $35K to ship off to training. | |
| Over 40% of the 18 to 24-year-olds They've looked at, have refused the COVID-19 vaccine. | |
| That's their target demographic. | |
| 40% of the country in the target demographic for recruitment in the army is like, yeah, we're not going to do that. | |
| Again, is it by design? | |
| Are they trying to get rid of or prevent them from entering the army? | |
| The people we would probably most want actually out there fighting for us. | |
| Good, strong, conservative, loyal patriots. | |
| Is it by design, guys? | |
| In the southern U.S., which produces nearly half of all enlistments, the proportion of unvaccinated men is even higher. | |
| Bottom line, the administration is destroying the readiness of our armed forces by creating an unnecessary recruiting and retention shortfall. | |
| Again, they could simply make that crap go away. | |
| The army, if you're in and of that age, you're probably not so susceptible to COVID, right? | |
| You're in great shape, you're young, you probably don't have pre-existing conditions unless I got rid of those standards too, which wouldn't surprise me. | |
| So, over an illness, again, that's very, very unlikely to affect any of the people we're actually talking about. | |
| Guys, there's simply no other way around it. | |
| Until the Secretary of Defense withdraws delays or modifies the mandates or begins rapidly granting more exemptions, whether it's religious or otherwise, our military is going to have to continue to lower their recruitment standards, degrading the readiness and professionalism of our armed forces. | |
| Again, it seems like the leftists are doing this by design. | |
| Every male that's out there, everyone who'd be fit who could do this, probably does the day of the vaccine. | |
| It wouldn't matter. Let's end the stupidity. | |
| Let's start putting America first. | |
| It's not that hard. | |
| Both sides of the aisle could agree that we want a prepared, ready fighting force. | |
| Guys, like, this shouldn't even be debatable at this point. | |
| And yet, it seems that it is. | |
| And, you know, I guess they're probably just trying to thin out the guys that would actually be good at fighting. |
