Pentagon goes on offense vs GOP on vaccine mandates

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Pentagon is on the offensive after a cascade of Republican lawmakers have pushed back over a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for service members.

The issue has quickly snowballed since early last month, when Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) tipped off the battle over who calls the shots in enforcing the requirement for National Guardsmen.

Now, with Texas becoming the seventh state to declare they will not impose the mandate on their National Guard, the Pentagon is grappling with how to make sure its mandate is followed and how to prevent further states from piling on and resisting it.

"We're not going to make an active effort here to try to tell other states not to express their concerns. So I don't know plans to proactively reach out to governors on this," Pentagon press secretary John Kirby told The Hill when asked whether Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin planned to contact governors he thinks might follow suit.

5. Had Christmas dinner with two Marine vets of Viet Nam.

They were laughing at soldiers trying to avoid vaccines.

"Since when do they give you a choice?"

One of them said he got 12 vaccines in one day.

Nobody asked him for his opinion. They told him to get in line and they started giving him shots.
