Soldiers Who Refuse Vaccination Can Still Serve, But Their Careers Are Over

This article is a bit misleading. The memo the Army Secretary sent out says that all Soldiers without pending or approved exemptions will be flagged and barred and in a near future date will receive General Letter or Reprimand and in a further date will be separated. The Army isn't keeping anyone, they're just moving slowly and methodically before separating Soldiers. But they've made it very clear, in that same memo as well, that Active Duty Soldiers and Reserves who refuse the vaccine will be removed, and any leader in a command position will be immediately relieved.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen I find this to be infinitely tragic all the way around.

I don't even understand. Does that mean they can finish out their current contract? That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I guess it's like giving them more time to get the vaccine
