Come on, pal - think.
"We estimate that over 800 Oklahoma guardsmen have not and do not plan on receiving the COVID 19 vaccine. This constitutes 10% of Oklahoma's overall force," Stitt wrote. "It is irresponsible for the federal government to place mandatory vaccine obligations on Oklahoma national guardsmen which could potentially limit the number of individuals that I can call upon to assist the state during an emergency."
If feds deployed the OK National Guard they would be getting 7200 troops. Not 8000.
If deployed within OK, all 8000 could be in play.
Taking benefits earned from the other 800 is unfair. Making them QUIT is unAmerican.
Pentagon - in knowing they arent getting these 800 men and women - decides - OK, well then their service - both to state and nation - is not needed nor wanted.
It's crap.
