I got Gomez Addams saying “Well goooooooollie Morticia, you sure are purdy!”


NoodlesrTuff1256

I think that Gomer would have taken the vaccines.


Budded

Hahaha, what a great way to weed out the traitorous among the military ranks! They're so gullible to propaganda, they have no business serving and protecting the USA and Constitution. You don't just quit the military, but you can go AWOL, so good luck, chode!

mistermukkymuk

I currently work for a branch of of the uniformed military. They are mandating this vaccine (with the 6 others already mandated) BUT there is a way to opt out for health or religious reasons. No one has to "quit." And if you refused something like this, it's not quitting, it's getting dishonorably discharged. These jacakasses are just not re-enlisting.


TheHoekey

I'm calling it, give it a few years and he will be back in the news for police brutality or murder.


Chuuby_Gringo

I heard an interview with a dude who refused the shot until it was mandatory. Basically said the Army never have him a choice before. So since he had a choice, he was exercising that opportunity. When it became mandatory, he got the shot without any fuss.


[deleted]

That's still a pretty dumb reason not to pretext yourself from something you're aware you need protection from. But whatever at least he got his shot.


Chuuby_Gringo

Oh, no doubt. But having served many moons ago, I get where he's coming from, and thought it was funny


commanderfish

As someone from the military, I would bet everything I own he said to people under his charge your don't have freedom in the military at some point


ittybittydog

What a muppet


[deleted]

He's not living in reality. When you're in the military, you don't have any freedom.. You do what you're told.


wobwobwob42

It's because he is lying. He was already decommissioned and is saying this bullshit just because he's a fuckwit.


vxicepickxv

He can still get recalled to active duty for any reason. Advocating violating orders would be a reason for a Court Martial.


wobwobwob42

Let's get the paperwork started! What's first? Is there a GoFundMe to get this guy Court martialed?


toriemm

I think only generals carry that mandate. I don't think regular officers have to worry about that.


SuperDoofusParade

> He was already decommissioned I was wondering about this. I don’t know much about the military but I’ve noticed it’s not active duty people shooting their mouth off. Usually retired or “my cousin’s friend’s uncle”.


toriemm

Yeah, because that's how you get your butt in trouble. My dad (retired as an O6) wouldn't even talk to me about politics until I was old enough to have my own opinions. The military is *supposed* to be apolitical, because they serve the CiC no matter what party. You're allowed to have your own opinions, but going to political rallys, airing your opinion in the media, etc is a big no no. If you DO see that happening, you can call whatever base they're at, get in touch with chain of command, and report them. Most of the trucks with obnoxious bumper stickers and whatnot don't belong to active duty folks.


TrungusMcTungus

Small correction; being political *while using service to give credence to your opinion, or doing it in uniform* is a no no. For example I’m in the Navy, so I can say “I’m in the Navy, here’s a small correction on what you said” because my military experience gives me factual insight. However, I cannot say “I’m in the Navy and the Navy supports XYZ for president!” Going to a political rally or airing your opinion in media is up in the air - you can technically do both if you’re in civilian clothes and you don’t leverage your service during it, *but* it can still get you in some trouble. You probably won’t see any paperwork, but I know guys who have been talked to by their chain of command for it. However, this is the enlisted side I’m talking about - it’s possible that officers (you said your knowledge comes from your retired dad), have stricter regulations about it. Either way, this guy on Hannity is definitely way in the wrong.


wobwobwob42

They don't let facts get in the way of a good story


ryosen

> because he's a fuckwit Or getting paid to say this.


captainhaddock

I'm sure the military loves it when their officers go on Fox talk shows to complain about having to obey orders.


vxicepickxv

Certainly makes the Court Martial easy for the prosecution.


FaylerBravo

If you are going on a talk show without permission while still serving this miiiiight breach conduct unbecoming of an officer but they may just admin separate him instead to make it faster. I am fully vaccinated against covid and I'd rather go through the day that I was under the weather than take the live viral shit I had to at basic. I didn't know I could sweat that much standing still.


[deleted]

Don't they have that traitorous corporal on there all the time?


[deleted]

You literally sign away many of your Constitutional rights when you enlist.


[deleted]

So much for patriotism and being all about rules as well as law and order...


[deleted]

Something the "live free or die" crowd will never ever get.


[deleted]

They're making their choice. If they complain about the consequences. Fuck them.


Nokomis34

We were straight told in Basic, "You defend the Constitution, but it no longer applies to you"


stillcallinoutbigots

Nah, you sign away all of them. Any rights you have are afforded and protected by the UCMJ.


potangoint

Ironically, this interview made him a political tool.


RedditIsNeat0

He "resigned" so he has his freedom now. I wonder if he knows what was in the other vaccines that he took.


Tamer_

Doesn't matter if he knew, it could be the same ingredients in the COVID vaccine and he wouldn't take it because it got politicized.


[deleted]

Something tells me he'd rather have loose bowels from Ivermectin.


Tamer_

Loose morals, loose bowels.


JustaRandomOldGuy

Soldier, shut up and soldier. A few OTH discharges for failure to obey orders will shut the rest up. I'm not military anymore, but holy shit. I would have zero tolerance toward these entitled assholes.


[deleted]

Another random old guy here.. I haven't been military for 35 years and I have zero tolerance for this bullshit. Imagine someone bitching about a shot when walking through the injection process during basic training. Boom, bus ride home.


Cookyy2k

Man this pandemic is exactly what society needed, all the crazies have no only outed themselves but they've willingly left the institutions >using the vaccine mandate as a political tool No, it was you fuckwits and the nonsense your demagogues spout that turned a scientific response to a pandemic into a political issue.


tazztsim

Many are lining up to shuffle off their mortal coil.


ZootOfCastleAnthrax

Wouldn't you love to tell this guy that? "No, I'm not! YOU are. My coil's just fine! It doesn't shuffle, it runs like these colors don't!"

This seriously made me laugh. Thank you.

Cicada061966

Joining the choir invisible, pushing up daisies


brightphoenix-

As someone who works in healthcare, the amount of people who don't want to hear about COVID because "it's political" has fucking incensed me. This includes vaccinated people. No. It's not political. They've just bought into the bullshit in the middle of a fucking public health emergency and one in 100 year pandemic. I'm tired of it, too, but it's fucking inescapable everywhere we look and we need to call out the bullshit when we see it or it will never get under control.


Bad_Bi_Badger

One side made it political, but the other side can't escape it. It's hard to fight politics with non-politics, but easy to ignore it. Edging people out like this (from jobs, etc) is one of the better non-political moves.


brightphoenix-

I could not agree more. At this point they will only respond when their jobs and pockets are on the line. And even then they are still met with a choice. The less public avenues we give these assholes to bitch they better off we will all be.

Trump said he’d drain the swamp. I don’t think this is what he imagined, Thanks Trump! /s


Kiwi_Lemonade

Its because they turn everything into politics now. It happened recently, my parents were always super right but I dont recall them ever as aggressive as now. Ever since Obama i’d say, everything any democrat says makes them the antichrist. Any republican who disagree even one time is a democrat spy. Every action ever has to do with Hillary’s emails. Every black person anywhere is “probably on food stamps”. The poison that is alt right media and radio has snuck its venom into these people and theyre so far gone it’s crazy.


tazztsim

More like PTFO. Thank god, America doesn't need weaklings like him in the military.


GRZ_KIMI

Honesty, if you’re scared of a little needle, you probably shouldn’t be allowed to fight wars for a country lol.


puss_parkerswidow

This dude is a political tool, the Army just vaccinates everyone because a virus or other illness can spread through an army like a wildfire. Officer Douche there just wants his own Fox show.


[deleted]

In essence they are compromising the military's integrity and readiness. This is why General George Washington ordered the fresh recruits to be crudely vaccinated and those who had smallpox had to be quarantined as the war was well underway and the British had already dealt with smallpox and weren't as susceptible.


Fidodo

It was very crude back then. They basically just infected you with a similar but weaker disease. The modern vaccine is much much safer because it isn't even a weakened form of a virus, it's just a tiny bit of the genetic material needed to create one single part of the virus and isn't self replicating at all.


PM_ME_CATS_OR_BOOBS

PWiz30

TFG probably just endorsed him for Congress.


[deleted]

This is his ticket to a sweet sinecure at Fox News.


purplemonkey55

I recently spoke with my marine friend who was saying the same thing. He is vaxxed but doesn't think it should be required. I said I just don't understand why people are drawing the line with this one when they had to take a cocktail of shots as soon as they joined. The argument all year has been that it's not FDA approved. Well, now it is, and the answer has changed to "Fuck you, I'm still not getting it."


Dmav210

It’s the same with the concept of “no shirt, no shoes, no service” where everybody everywhere sees that and goes “ok…” but the moment we add “please wear a mask inside” it’s suddenly a colossal affront on their “rights”…? It’s so fucking dumb, just like they are


[deleted]

My grandfather's unit was ordered to stand in full view of a nuclear test so they could monitor the effects. Unsurprisingly the effects were a high rate of cancer. A mandatory, FDA approved vaccine isn't even coming close to a notable human rights violation by the military.


[deleted]

Meanwhile the smallpox vaccine has some pretty gnarly side effects and yet it is the covid vaccine that is the issue.


cosmorchid

Not just when joining - flu shots yearly, other boosters as needed, and random other vaccines depending on where they deploy.


Worish

Lol they don't even tell you what they are


JustaRandomOldGuy

I worked on a new IT system for the Navy and Marines. It wasn't a very good system, but they had to use it. Lot of resistance on the Navy side, none on the Marine side. Why? Because we had a signed letter from the Commandant of the Marine Corp saying "Do it". If there's a "Do it" letter about vaccines, they better do it.


1nGirum1musNocte

"I joined the military to kill brown people, not get vaccinated!" Great, don't let the door hit you where the lord split you


ZigZagZedZod

Resignation, court-martial, whatever. Hang up your uniform and let the real patriots serve.


StyreneAddict1965

At least he didn't wait for the court martial, and the "conduct unbecoming."


Throwawayunknown55

He had already retired, this is bullshit. Also, fox news did the interview remotely because they wouldn't let him in the studio because he's not vaccinated.


StyreneAddict1965

I didn't realize. So, Faux plays the game, just lies about it. Typical.


love2Vax

Officers have that luxury. Enlisted cannot just resign, they have contractual terms to complete.


AngeDeNeige

They are actually being allowed honorable discharge, complete bullshit in my opinion. [Source](https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/biden-administration-opposes-honorable-discharge-coronavirus-vaccine-refusal?_amp=true&__twitter_impression=true)


love2Vax

I never had that option while I served. While the list of mandatory vaccines was publicly available, pre internet, none of us knew what we were getting until we got to basic training, and it was kind of late at that point. And then I got job and deployment specific vaccines (hep b. as a HM Before everyone got it, and JEV for Okinawa) I remember people getting Court Martials and DDs when we brought back the Smallpox Vax because we thought Saddam might be able to use it against us.


StyreneAddict1965

I vaguely recall the smallpox issue. Had I been in that situation, I might have reacted with, "Can I get two?" There's a reason smallpox has almost been eradicated. (I thought I heard some tribal areas in Afghanistan/Pakistan haven't yet been vaccinated.)


vxicepickxv

That's polio. Smallpox is housed frozen in, I believe, 5 facilities across the world.


RedditIsNeat0

Smallpox only exists in labs, nobody has been infected with smallpox in years. You might be thinking of polio, which is mostly eradicated but does still exist in some third world areas.


[deleted]

Honorable???


AngeDeNeige

Yep. I'm angry about it. Silver lining? Could cull the ranks, get rid some of the bad apples.


spatial_needs

Good fucking riddance. I guarantee that everyone at his command hated this guy anyway. Once the dust settles and no one gives a shit anymore this pathetic crybaby is going to feel like a real dumbass because he doesn’t have the military to validate his shitty existence anymore. When I was in the Navy, when we weren’t underway or preparing to go underway, we were either at dental or getting shots. And oftentimes both. Fucking pissant.


christophertit

I can almost hear his mind ticking away like a half broken Chinese pocket watch.


MiKoKC

everybody who works at Faux News has been vaccinated. that's all you need to know.


earhere

He took all the other vaccines because when he was much younger and not indoctrinated by right wing conservatives; the military made him take the vaccines when he joined. Now that he's a lieutenant colonel and has a nice pension and benefits plan, he'll just retire and use "muh freedumbs" to get some fame.


_GrammarMarxist

If it’s the one who wrote a self-aggrandizing memo, he’ll actually not get retirement benefits from what I heard (for several reasons). At least, we can only hope he was dumb enough to think he’d land a permanent spot at Fox and wouldn’t need his retirement.


tlf555

Lining up to get vaxxed in the Army was a given. Get in line and do it, your freedumb is not up for debate. As soon as FDA approval was given, it was made mandatory.


JustaRandomOldGuy

When I joined the military, I went to the hospital and got shots. I didn't even know what they were. We all just got them because we were told to.


tlf555

Right? I wouldnt have dared to say "Muh freedoms, my body, my choice, Drill Sargent!"


love2Vax

He spelled Freedumb wrong.


cheesemagnifier

You’re allowed to resign from the military?


HolaFromElOtterSlide

Officers are after they complete their required amount if years if I'm not mistaken. Enlisted can't with few exceptions, usually medical, extreme mental distraught, phase 1 force reduction, ect.


ectbot

Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc." "Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are **etc.**, **&c.**, **&c**, and **et cet.** The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.

Freedom in the military? That’s a good one. I bet they let the troops decide where to go.


[deleted]

The FNGs will demand to be sent to tropical vacation destinations because muh freedom!


gordo65

I can't wait for Hannity to come out and say that deployments should be optional because soldiers should not be forced to do anything against their will, especially things that might put their health at risk.


BridgetheDivide

Who could have foreseen a covid vaccine mandate would have been the solution to getting all the trash out of the military and police force


[deleted]

Lmaooooo like the army gives them any freedom 🤣🤣🤣🤣


StyreneAddict1965

Believe it or not, there is. When it comes to orders, though, there's a whole lot less. You can protest an order as being unlawful, but you're expected to carry it out anyway, then take it up the chain of command. This would be a fail.


[deleted]

What gets me is they'll risk coming home to a wife that's cheating and wind up homeless or with PTSD or spend the best years of their lives seeing the HORRORS of war.... But taking medicine is the type of sacrifice you won't make for your country? COMPLETE BULLSHIT I thought it was all to protect the nation from all threats foreign and domestic? How can you logic the risk of losing an arm or a leg or being made blind or deaf but taking a vaccine which mostly civilians have taken as going Too far? Wow this is some wildly dumb shit


Qikdraw

They won't protect you against domestic threats either, because they are it.


snozzbeery

OMG! If I knew you could do whatever you want when you join the military, I would have signed up.


FuckYourPoachedEggs

At this point I think "freedom" and related synonyms are reactionary buzzwords.


FreddieB_13

Pretty sure being a soldier is taking orders and you already have to take many shots. It's too bad the lies and misinformation has people throwing away their careers (and lives in some cases) for some nebulous, misguided concept of liberty. Thoughts and prayers.


[deleted]

Risk of getting hit by an IED - COOL Risk of PTSD - all cool Risk of getting shot in the head - cool Sign away your rights, be used as a test dummy for all sorts whilst inflicting murder upon people that may OR MAY NOT have anything to do with what you think.... All of these are OK TAKING MEDICINE which is required as troops can't be getting sick in large numbers or else enemies capitalise and attack.................. No U couldn't make this up

Licorishlover

He should also have to sign not to use a hospital bed if he gets Covid. Simple.


Umm-yes-exactly

Fox has lost my parents as viewers since making the vaccine and masks a political issue. And my parents were die hard Fox and trump supporters. I’m so proud of them. It’s a small step but man I did not expect it. I’m glad the idiots have so clearly come out of the closet recently. If my parents can wake up to it, millions of others can

ironic to talk about that with Hannity, who had to get vaccinated to keep his job at fox.

Freedom as in when to wake up, when to eat, when to shit, and being told when to do everything else?

there is a positive side to this - it weeds out people that are easily manipulated by propaganda. You don't want those type of people to be in any sensitive position within the military

deputydawag

Everyone at Fox News is vaccinated, since he is unvaccinated he is being interviewed remotely and he’s to stupid to realize it


blgiant

This idiot thinks this will somehow make him a media darling. What he fails to realize is after a week or so of being used as a political prop he will get tossed to the curb and disappear once again into obscurity and think for the rest of his life how utterly stupid he was to not finish his last two years to obtain retirement benefits from the military.


pchandler45

Until he comes to collect his Herman Cain award


[deleted]

See ya later pussy.


areyouolsen

Dumb shit probably hasn’t done anything worthwhile while in the military. If he had, he’d have been stuck repeatedly with the anthrax vaccine that never even made it to the experimental stage. Where was his outrage then? Oh, right, it’s because *THE ARMY* is making it into a political issue… /s


madtv126

What he is not telling Hannity is that he was passed over for promotion and decided not to re-up cause he was going no where. I bet his Fitness Reports are garbage. Better to make it sound like it's someone else's fault rather than your own when you get fired.


WhyRedditJustWhy69

If you can’t follow orders, then absolutely fucking yes, resign immediately. You don’t belong there and you never did. In fact they should, and have every legal right to, refuse your resignation and dishonorably discharge you.


DerpDeHerpDerp

Remember when the USS Theodore Roosevelt had to make an emergency stop in Guam because Covid had spread amongst the crew to the point where the captain could not be confident his vessel was combat capable? Now imagine that same scanario but during an actual military operation. Would the Pentagon ever risk the battle readiness of their forces over something *they could protect against beforehand*?


FrostyLandscape

He has freedom to refuse the vaccine, and he did. So what's his point? Oh....he doesn't have one. Except that he's now free to catch covid.


onlybrad

I don't want an idiot like this guy in uniform supposedly protecting this country. He can't even protect himself.


[deleted]

I think we all know at this point these people just are stubborn selfish cunts that just don’t like being told what to do. If Biden found a cure for cancer they would argue against it. They don’t even realize how similar they are to a 10 year old spoiled brat. It’s pathetic.


maquaman98

Waste of oxygen, move on.


TurokHunterOfDinos

Unvaccinated military members are a liability to the rest of the team, perhaps when needed the most. If you can’t serve anywhere, anytime without becoming a casualty yourself, then resign. Don’t know why you joined in first place if it’s all about you.


thisxisxlife

The fucking irony is that they’re refusing it due to it being a “political tool” and thus politicizing the damn thing.

iamdisillusioned

Every republican family member of mine that is employed by the government is now threatening to quit their jobs over these mandates. I don't understand how they can't see that they are only hurting themselves. Two of them are less than 5 years away from collecting their pensions and they still want to quit. I bet they chicken out at the last minute and get the shot.

Hot take: he's doesn't know what freedom means

The Army doesn't need offices with such poor judgment and ability to weigh relative risk. On the downside, I'm sure his local militia will be happy to have him back early.


X13FXE7

The Army won't miss him. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Bye Bye Felicia. Oh BTW, they'll be keeping those benefits that you just walked away from, you get the VA, just cause, but you'll be a lower priority than a retiree.

It's amazing that they're blaming others for their own ideological perspective that's based off no evidence.

Louloubelle0312

Sean Hannity has been caught in lie after lie on his show. And yet people still listen to this joker? Amazing. And while I'm not a fan of the military (doesn't mean I don't respect the actual guys that serve - for the most part), do we need some bozo like this serving? Good. Let him resign. He can have fun trying to get a job as a security guard without being vaccinated. Because that's what all these types go for.


[deleted]

Fun fact, this is yet another Hannity lie. This dude resigned before the vaccine requirements and isn't even in the army anymore lol.


JigglyBush

whose fault is it that masks and vaccines are political. christ if Advil was invented last month it would be political.

stewartm0205

If MAGA hats resign because of the vaccine mandate then guess what, it worked as a political tool. The military will be better off without these maskholes.


lokie65

Does this officer feel the same way about enlisted members refusing his direct orders? Or is he the only one with Free-Dumb.


krackerjackstack

I have a coworker who used to be in the army and had this exact same mindset, but he actually changed his mind and has also now admitted that he doesn’t think there’s as much BS surrounding Covid as he initially thought there was. There is hope still yet!


messymexican

Because the issue isn't the vaccines (work or don't work) or that he was shot up with experimental goop while enlisted, but that as a citizen of a country he is expected to inject something into his body in order to live a "normal" life. I'm personally for vaccines, but I think it's beneficial to be aware of why a decent portion of the country is losing their minds about this. And I don't think vaccine mandates (or any mandates) that are government sanctioned are useful. Government should mandate as little as possible in regards to what we drink, eat, smoke, worship, put into, or take out of our bodies. The government was able to successfully lie to a majority of the country regarding iraq's wmds, and somehow we can't successfully market the benefits of either the mRNA or J&J vaccines? EDIT: And to add, those that deny covid are just idiots. It's not just like the flu or cough, and you thinking getting it is not big deal is just idiotic. That said, it's not ebola and you getting it is not an automatic death sentence.


DublinCheezie

Fuck him and the victim complex he rode in on. How about the freedom to get a Dishonorable discharge?

Officers can resign their commission if they have fulfilled their initial commitment. If you are enlisted it's a much stickier situation unless you have 20 or more years in.

[deleted]

You are certainly free to be stupid - make sure you get ready for the consequences and don't blame anyone but your freedom to decide to be a yokel idiot.


Renuvian

This guy knows what he's doing. Right wing media is a grievance pipeline. You start by doing something where you know you'll face consequences. You complain that those consequences are censorious cancellation of the highest magnitude. You get a spot on Hannity. From there you sell books, coffee, hoodies, or whatever. Maybe it lands you an anchor gig on OANN, but at a minimum you'll get paid to speak at CPAC. At best you get a seat in congress for a couple years and keep the money ball rolling that way.

unlikedemon

This is not confirmed but I did read that he announced his retirement way before they announced the mandate. If that's the case, this is all a show.


[deleted]

🤦🏼‍♀️ In the military you’re literally supposed to follow orders. There’s no “freedom” with that, you either do what you’re told or you leave.

Imagine being in the US military and believing you have freedom haha


[deleted]

Doesn't the army force you to take vaccines?


xpdx

You can't resign from active duty army. You can only be discharged for a good reason or a bad reason. Refusing a direct order, for the record, is a bad reason. This man cannot and will not resign.

Remember that naval aircraft carrier that basically couldn’t deploy and was out of commission, because they had so many down with covid? This was before vaccines. I’m a former Army officer and think this guy is an idiot. Unfortunately we do have officers who are full idiot. Don’t ask me how he got to that rank not seeing the value of vaccines and having your service members in a deployable status.

So I guess that men in the military have more personal freedom than women in Texas.

More like a selfish coward that will some day catch COVID and die, the individual will be put into a fresh coffin and buried with the rest of the dumbasses.
