Marine Corps compliance with vaccine mandate on course to be military's worst

Up to 10,000 active-duty Marines will not be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus when their deadline arrives in coming days, a trajectory expected to yield the U.S. military's worst immunization rate. While 94 percent of Marine Corps personnel have met the vaccination requirement or are on...

I asked this question on another thread. Can anyone come up with a meme of 10,000 marines showing the CMC the Hawaiian good luck symbol?

I knew I joined the right service.

We may be oft thought of as the "Crayon Brigade", and I enjoy that appearance as a sort of camouflage, but the USMC - at the first step level - attracts those accepting of a "greater challenge" and for that reason its basic raw material is good raw material.

I would love nothing better than the "E3 Mafia" to give a giant "Lets Go Brandon" to the whole mandate.

On a brighter note....Just had the owner of a medical device manufacturing facility show up at my door and offer any kind of work he can as either long term or to bridge me to something else.

Glad I was wearing pants.

There are good people in the world. These Marines are such.

What pisses me off after reading the article is that they portray the reason to be a failure of command to "educate" (indoctrinate) Marines to accept the vaccine and overcome their "hesitancy".

Maybe they are educated.

Maybe 'hesitancy" is synonymous with "eat my dick".

Its unfathomable to the reporter that some people just dont want the vaccine because they are opposed to having their medical care decisions taken from them.

Great news!! This may be a blessing in disguise for you. Maybe a much less stressful line of work?

Jarheads will do what Jarheads do. I’m proud of the ones who are saying no. The Marine Corps is dealing with a whole new mindset with this generation. You are looking at a generation where 50% of the nation is divorced. They are taught to question everything from the time they can start learning, and they literally have the world’s information at their fingertips.

Rigid adherence to authority figures is dying with the Baby Boomer, Gen X, population, and to some extent the early millennials. Those are the last 3 generations to grow up in nuclear house holds, and were taught/raised that any adult is an authority figure, no back talk, and any word form an authority figure is the gospel.

An interesting change indeed.

No disrespect but not sure what this comment is for....The Army does recruit Psyops Operations Specialists and has them within its ranks. Training takes place at Ft Bragg.

ArmyJerry used to say........

"Get rid of the CIA and make the military our premier intelligence provider again".

I agree Military at least has some sort of accountability. CIA seems to skirt it.

I think ArmyJerry used to also say something about ammo too.

That's the best hope for freedom

Unfortunately those same younger ones who are all proud of defying authority figures are also often apt to fall for propaganda and thought manipulation.

"Just follow orders" is how every great evil and all the horrors of humanity were able to come to pass. The USA is no saint in that department either.

There is no doubt in my mind of the CIA's involvement. My original post just simply has someone who says this shit is a Psyop, which I think most of us can agree on.

We see these differences in my ending line of work.

I see both sides of your point.

I can appreciate the "questioning" authority and the ability to have an immediate research network at their fingertips.

This causes me unicorn visions while at the same time kicks me in the nuts.

The ability to get my kids to call their friends parents "Mr Smith" or "Mrs Smith" instead of "Bob" or "Cheryl" is gone. Likewise I asked a boot his name the other day and he said "Billy" or whatever not "Sir, Trooper Smith, Sir"

I see value in that small acknowledgement of a system of 'courtesies" and "respect" based on seniority even if not grounded in performance. Kind of the "respect the rank, if not the man" thing.....

but......

I want independent thinkers that will shove an unpinned grenade in the non-performing Lts pocket when it really matters and the hard charging Sgt is then allowed to conduct business.

Regards their access to information....

Public education is not producing critical thinkers and private education is not much better.

Access to information is useless if the consumer can not take it all in and formulate a truth or something near truth.

Read the enemies propaganda as well as your own bias supporting sources and come up with something close to reality.

This approach is key as it does two things:

1) There is (at least) two ways to portray every story and it truly is important to hear both sides, the truth is in there somewhere on that spectrum between the two extremes.

2) By reading the enemies propaganda (whatever your political affiliations) you get a feel for what they are thinking which gives insight into what is coming next.

Unfortunately there's no way to get rid of the CIA, they got their hands in everything. Unfortunately, if you wanna burn the house down you're gonna have to burn the entire neighborhood

10% is the standard fee. Should buy a lot of ice cream.

They could probably short change him a little if they felt like saving a few bucks, dementia has took its toll.

I hear "the big guy" asked for 20% because he's blowing a majority of the 10% since he was spending it on poop cleanup at The Vatican.

Agreed.

It just sounds so much better saying "Gee, I really want to buy those 4 cool Hunter Biden paintings" (@ $500K each) than "Would a $2 million 'donation' help to grease the wheels and get this over the finishing line?".
