The Tennessee Conservative [By Paula Gomes] –
Tennessee National Guard members who are exercising a religious exemption from COVID-19 vaccinations must now agree that they can be involuntarily immunized under certain circumstances.
A current member said, “I have served in the Tennessee National Guard for over 10 years. I strongly object to the currently available COVID-19 vaccinations and submitted my packet requesting a Religious Exemption last year. Since then, they have forced me to change my request memorandum three times.”
Request memorandums for religious exemption are meant to be written in the soldier’s own words explaining why receiving the vaccine is in direct conflict with his sincerely held religious beliefs. Now there is a new requirement that forces members to add the following to the request:
I understand immunizations required by AR 40-562 or other legal directives may be given involuntarily (except with an approved religious accommodation for an exemption). I also understand that when the Adjutant General or a delegated representative determines that conditions of imminent threat exist; I may be involuntarily immunized per AR 600-20, paragraph 5-4.
What is the definition of an imminent threat? Threat of invasion? Another pandemic? It is disturbing that the Army is forcing National Guard members to acknowledge that they can bypass any requirement for consent.

The guidance mandating all military service members be vaccinated was published in August and since that time, most service members have decided to get the vaccine. Those who had religious objections are subjected to a process of interviews along with documentation.
At this time, it is unclear who is requiring the additional language in the request memos. It could be the Department of the Army, National Guard Bureau, or the Tennessee state command.

WHY? These NG Soldiers are our Neighbors that are men and women we can respect and will be there when and if we ever need them–so why would the TNNG ever forcibly give them something that they have an exemption for. Why?
NO ONE should be forced to get a vaccine shot that’s not wanted. Especially when the immune system and other medications work better than the vaccines.
Tell the Tn. National Guard to shove it and get out of the Guard. Enough of this socialism.
This is wrong. Whoever is forcing should be ashamed of themselves. This is America, the home of the brave and the home of the free . Stop this crap.
Stop calling the Poison Jab a vaccine !!! It’s not !!! A vaccine protects you from a disease . The Clot shot doesn’t do that. In fact many experts now say it’s the Clot Shot that is destroying the human immune system and making those that take it much more susceptible to any disease that our immune system would normally protect us from.
As far as being forced to take the poison by the Guard I’d say to the Guard and the Military in general to just go stick it !!!! No pun intended .
They are undermining our military so we can be invaded.
YOU can bet this is coming from the top, BIDEN wants it done and there is NO WAY they should be made to take these shots.
