The Supreme Court stopped Biden’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandate, which would have affected large companies.
A report said that the Pentagon has not yet discharged tens of thousands of troops who have not followed the vaccine mandate.
There could be 100,000 additional troops facing discharge due to the vaccine mandate joining the thousands of troops that have already been discharged due to Biden’s mandate.
“And now, after the Pentagon has tried, and failed, to make up the difference by reducing recruitment standards, over 100,000 active servicemembers—who taxpayers paid to train—face discharge during the worst recruiting year in our military’s history,” Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA), said in a statement.
