This man sounds like a real leader. We need more leaders with his courage
-----------------------------

In one of his first acts as the head of the Oklahoma National Guard, new Adjutant General Thomas Mancino updated the guard's COVID-19 vaccine policy.

In a memo issued Thursday, Mancino ordered that no members of the Oklahoma National Guard be required to take a COVID-19 vaccine.

The memo obtained by The Oklahoman also notes "no negative administrative or legal action will be taken" against guard members who refuse the COVID-19 vaccine.

The memo came just one day after Gov. Kevin Stitt appointed Mancino to replace former Adjutant General Michael Thompson, who had served in that role since 2017.

Hilarious that Trump cultists shriek constant attacks against people like General Mattis— one of the US’ best commanders— and yet guys like this idiot are “real leaders”.

Mattis is a hack
 
Mattis was literally anything but a “hack”. He’s one of the best commanders the US has had in years.
Mattis is somewhere behind General Flynn when it comes to that

General Flynn is a moron who despises the Constitution. Mattis is a commander who, as much as any general could, led from the front in Iraq and earned the respect and loyalty of his Marines. The Trump cult’s hatred of him is a truly damning indictment....of them.

Flynn said yesterday “If we are going to have one nation under God, which we must, we have to have one religion. One nation under God, and one religion under God.”

This is not leadership, it is the opposite. If member of the armed forces need to go to some godforsaken country, and they need to get vaccinated for al kinds of diseases from those countries, would the military think it is fine for anti vaccine snowflakes to say, sorry, I don't I like being vaccinated, do you think he would get away with that? I am 100% sure his commanding officer would not take him by his little hand and say "there there snowflake, are you afraid of a little needle? You know what, I am going to let that soldier get away with that? I seriously doubt that. And that is leadership.

No. Saying no to mandates is. We must fight the bullying tactics of Biden and his goons

That would accurately describe moron.

He just made the entire Oklahoma National Guard undeployable... NONE of them will be able to attend ANY training with regular forces....

You call that leadership?
 
Then why should this one be different? Most of the vaccines we are required to take were for illnesses, viruses we were in very little danger of actually getting exposed to, unlike Covid. There is no reason any military members should not have to take the Covid vaccine.

Might make a good DeSantis VP pick

Nope, if your wage is paid by the government and your job is to serve like soldiers do, you have to obey vaccine mandates or resign.

If Biden wants to really stick it to Stitt, he will mobilize the OK National Guard for two days and hold a mobility readiness weekend and vaccinate or discharge every OKNG member who refuses vaccination...

I'd call it a failure for the preparedness of the ONG and insubordination, if that is the term @BlueTex .

Agreed... Place them under title 10 orders and court martial the AG...

And Oklahoma could tell Biden to piss up a rope. Its the Oklahoma National Guard.

Would that guy disobey a direct order from the Commander-in-Chief? Is that the hill on which he wants to lose his job ?

They could up until he issues title 10 orders.. They are under federal control at that point and governor can't do shit... If you are not familiar with the intricacies of national guards, title 10 versus title 32, it's best to refrain from making yourself look foolish...

That guy was totally insane.

Milley is the one catching flack for going BLM.
