Who Supports Our Service Members?

Remember when the GOP was all in on supporting the troops, the sailors, members of every branch of the military? Sure, I understand—the GOP doesn’t chair any committees in the legislative branch. Nevertheless, why is no one making an issue of the Covid Regime’s ruthless purge of the military?

Zerohedge has an excellent digest of a Fox report on what’s going on. One thing is crystal clear: The defense establishment does not have the best interests of the United States of America at heart, nor does anyone with a say in this matter.

Marines "Crushed" By Vax Mandate As "Thousands" Denied Religious Exemptions In "Political Purge"

Days ago it was first revealed that … at least 169 Marines were already discharged for their refusal to receive the shot.

A new investigative report by Fox News finds that multiple "thousands" of Marines are still set to be processed out over the mandate, and that the corps' "best and brightest" are being "crushed" by the Biden vaccine order. …

For this reason the mandate is being likened to a "political purge" - which has seen a "blanket denial" of all formal requests for religious exemptions. In recent days official Marine Corps statements have underscored no exemptions are being given out, yet supposedly these are being considered on a case by case basis.

…

So assuming these Marines will still refuse the jab, thousands are set to be booted from the Marine Corps. In its reporting, Fox extensively quotes Marine officers, whose names are withheld. The Daily Wire, citing the most recently available public data from last week, estimated that some 9,000 could still be set for early discharge from the service: 

As of Thursday, 94% of active-duty troops were fully vaccinated and another 1% were partially vaccinated, according to data from the U.S. Marine Corps.

That leaves the remaining 5% of an active-duty Marine force of about 182,500, which amounts to about 9,125 active-duty Marines who are still unvaccinated.

"There’s something fundamentally wrong at this point with our nation’s leadership," a major with over 17 years of active service was cited as saying. "We are facing an unconstitutional edict that I think is very targeted as a political purge, taking out some of the best and brightest soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and guardians from the Space Force."

Further, a lieutenant colonel who has served for almost two decades said the Marines are discharging service members "as fast as they can and as brutally as they can, damaging every Marine as much as they can on the way out."

Further, Fox's Jessica Chasmar, who interviewed several of the officers, said:

"The one message I got from the colonel above me was: ‘Tread very carefully, this is political, you will be crushed like an ant.’ And he told me that because he cares about me," the lieutenant colonel said. "Do I want to continue serving in an institution that crushes people for bringing up reasonable points in defending their faith?"

One master sergeant said it seems that "the louder I speak the tighter the screws are turned against me."

…

Those interviewed also depicted an ongoing culture of intimidation which appears intended to silence any potential opposition to the mandate, further with no recourse whatsoever. Instead the Marines feel steamrolled into compliance. What's more is that unlike many parts of Europe, prior infection and natural immunity is being completely ignored. 

So, just as we’re beginning to entertain some hope for the country, as the Covid Regime seems to be losing its grip on civilians, in the military the purge is operating full speed ahead.
