The Pentagon ordered all service members to get vaccinated last month and didn't rule out court martialing those who don't.
More than 800,000 service members out of around 1.4 million still needed to get their shots at the time of the mandate, according to Pentagon data.
"The Administration strongly opposes section 716, which would detract from readiness and limit a commander's options for enforcing good order and discipline when a Service member fails to obey a lawful order to receive a vaccination," said the White House Office of Management and Budget in a statement on the annual defense budget.
"To enable a uniformed force to fight with discipline, commanders must have the ability to give orders and take appropriate disciplinary measures," the statement added.
And of course, that is what today's Marxist Democrat Party is about, giving orders -- authoritarianism -- especially when it comes to this particular vaccine.
Republicans, by comparison, continue to revere not only the Constitution but the military as a force to defend the country, not as a political tool to be wielded by an administration replete with people whose loyalty to our country is suspect to begin with.
That includes Rep. Mark Green of Tennessee, who proposed an amendment to the defense spending bill that bans "any discharge but honorable" for service members refusing the vaccine, including those who refuse to get a vaccine that was still experimental about 10 minutes ago.
"I am appalled that the Biden Administration is trying to remove my amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that prevents anything but an honorable discharge for service members who refuse to get the COVID-19 vaccine," Green told the Daily Mail. "This was a bipartisan amendment — every Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee agreed to it."
The provision, Section 716, says "many Americans have reservations about taking a vaccine that has only been available for less than a year."
Earlier this month, Green said, "No American who raises their hand to serve our Nation should be punished for making a highly personal medical decision."
Other Republican lawmakers agree.
"Our readiness, our ability to take on the enemy is being undermined by forcing young people, people who are perfectly healthy, perfectly able to fend off Covid, and are required to have the vaccine," Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado told the publication.
Democrats hate the military anyway because it is full of Trump-supporting patriots; that is what Biden's opposition to an honorable discharge for opposing this vaccine is really about.
