The U.S. Marine Corps announced Thursday that 103 members had been discharged due to their refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Marine Corps spokesman Maj. Jim Stenger confirmed the dismissal in an email, claiming the “vaccine refusal” discharge code had been applied, the Daily Caller reports.
Active-duty Marines had until November 28 to get vaccinated or risk being discharged. The deadline for reserve Marines was set for December 28.
In late October, the Marine Corps warned that anyone who “received and willfully disobeyed a lawful order” would be processed for separation.
The Marine Corps has approved 1,007 vaccine exemptions for medical or administrative reasons.
As of Thursday, 2,863 of 3,144 Marines who applied for religious exemptions had their request denied. In the past decade, the Marines don’t have a single known case of approving a religious exemption to vaccination.
As previously reported by Human Events News, the air force discharged 27 members for refusing to comply with the vaccine mandate.

Shrinking national security—what a novel idea. Sounds like something Biden would dream up.
The Biden gorup has changed our traditioned Marine corp leadership from “Semper FI” to Semper Fools”,,,,no High Fidelity here, but lots of scrathcy noise. It’s no Longer a ‘Rudoplh the red Nose Reindeer – American Christmas” but Biden of the Red Chinese, knows rain, dear X-mas” that x’s out all rational behavior. This Biden Reindeer like his son hunter, has hit on too many roofies for a date rape of American military strength slaying by another Democrat one trick pony sleigh ride.
No not Biden, BHO
OUR enemies are falling down in fits of laughter..
They should have discharged the “woke marines” who are forcing the vaccine on those marines that are the real patriots!
