Should U.S. Troops Be Required to Get COVID Vaccines?

H..L NO! Follow the science and, and the side effects that are occurring. By the way Democrats - I do not support women being drafted..

It’s a farce already people! It’s not killing as many people as they say it is and the young are surviving better than the old. What is the military made up of? The young!

All should get shots. Been 2 years without ways to see doctors. Tired of being denied transportation from Stagecoach and Medicaid. Yet they do NOT require drivers to be vaccinated.

I think it’s a good idea that our troops be vaccinated. It’s a good source of maintaining the troops in good health.

I think all Americans should get the vaccine. The armed forces should be protected at all levels, they are the tip of the spear

Yes, all our armed forces should be required to be vaccinated. We cannot afford to have a diminished capacity with our armed forces. When I was in the army we all got vaccinations. I don't remember any exceptions. Men and women must work together in close quarters in all the branches of the service and need to be made safe.

I am a retired AF Veteran. When you are active duty, you belong to Uncle Sam. When have military members had a choice of what vaccine they would be administered? It's the right thing to do. Covid spread needs to stop. If civilians are incourged to get the vaccine, military members should get vaccinated to set the example. The Commander and Chief is the President of the UnitedStatesofAmerica.

As a Veteran I had to be fully vaccinated before I was deployed overseas. I came in contact with local citizens while overseas. Knowing that I was fully vaccinated not only made me feel better it also protected my fellow Servicemen had I been exposed to a contagious local.

America is built on freedom. Those fighting to make sure our freedoms remain should have the freedom to make a decision based on their personal decisions. Just as nobody should tell a woman what to do with her body/health.

My body my choice only when it’s convenient for who needs fetus parts ? Stop mandatory things if you wanna keep saying my body my choice or this is for all or none

Yes, people in the military need protection from coronavirus, especially since they will be in close contact with many other people.

I was required to get all kinds of vaccines in the army.

I feel that all our soldiers should be vaccinated against this virus, so they don't spread it around between themselves and others they work close with. Also so they don't bring it back to our folks back home, or the country they come from if they are allies. Do the right thing for crying out loud. You can't expect people at home to follow the CDC's Guidelines if you don't have the Military do that too! H. J. Ward

Yeah mandate a vaccine that’s only effective against a form of the virus that nobody is getting infected with anyway all new infections mutated to get by our vaccine 💉

Our military readiness would be hampered by a COVID outbreak.

Personally I think the vaccine should be mandatory for the entire population.

Our military volunteer and sacrifice a lot. We should not force them to take the vaccine for something with low impact to their typical demographic. It should be freely available, which it is, but not forced on them

No one should be forced to take anything - particularly the military.. Period

It’s no different than any other shot military members are required to get. Why single out a Covid vaccine?

Why take away the freedom of choice away of the men and women who fight for our freedom to choose? Personally, as an 18 year old Marine Corps Lance Corporal, I was forced to choose either losing my rank, my pay, and being forced into barracks restriction vs. accepting a newly produced vaccine that many were unsure about receiving. What do you think I chose? Losing your livelihood over not accepting an experiment vaccine is a nice way to say thank you to our men and women in uniform..... Stop making decisions for other people when you dont have any skin in their game!!!
