Defund the Military Because of COVID Vaccines?
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said the military’s vaccine mandate will be lifted or the national defense bill will not move forward.
"We're working through what is the [National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)], the national defense bill, we will secure lifting that vaccine mandate on our military. Because what we're finding is, they're kicking out men and women that have been serving. … That's the first victory of having a Republican majority, and we'd like to have more of those victories, and we should start moving those now," McCarthy told host Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures."

I think McCarthy is only referring to the COVID vaccine and not other vaccines that all soldiers are required to get, such as flu, hepatitis, measles, and a bunch of others.
When McMcarthy told Biden last week about McCarthy's plans to defund the military unless Biden removes the COVID vaccine requirement for soldiers, Biden said he would consider it. If you were Biden, would you require soldiers to be vaccinated?
There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.
