Well, howdy there internet people, it's a bow again. So today we are going to talk about what Kevin McCarthy

plans to do in the House of Representatives.

He has announced that what he sees is the first Republican win

will be him throwing up a roadblock to defense spending.

Not for any like noble reason or anything like that. His plan is to hold the NDA until they basically get rid of the vaccine mandate.

And this is going to be the first Republican win.

Okay, so we'll kind of go through it piece by piece.

The first part that you really need to know

is that widespread refusal, that's not a thing.

That's not a thing.

When it comes to the active duty, the last numbers I saw were 97 point something percent

compliance. Now please understand being non-compliant

doesn't actually mean that they're refusing to get the vaccine. It just may mean

that they're not up to date. So that other 2.5%, some of them

are just E4s being E4s. So as far as active duty, it's not really an issue. The numbers

really start to show up when you start looking at National Guard and reserve.

And I know what the active duty guys you're thinking right now, you're like, and so what?

Yeah, here's the thing.

If there is another widespread pandemic, who shows up?

It's not active duty. It's the National Guard that gets called up. They need to be vaccinated. That's

where the issue is occurring and those are the people that need it most.

And them showing up to help while being unvaccinated is a readiness issue.
