According to the Associated Press report on November 13, local time, 27 U.S. Air Forces were fired for failing to comply with the U.S. government's new crown vaccination regulations. US Air Force spokesperson Ann Stefanek said that this is the first batch of servicemen to be fired for not obeying orders to vaccinate.
According to regulations, the US Air Force has long required its troops to be vaccinated before November 2. The latest internal data show that more than 1,000 air forces have refused to vaccinate, and more than 4,700 air forces have also sought religious exemptions instead of being vaccinated.
For these data, some military officers expressed concern. However, so far, only the Air Force has had so many protests in the face of being required to be vaccinated. Of course, these resistances will cause unvaccinated soldiers to be dismissed.

For the 27 air force dismissed, Spokesperson Stefanek pointed out that they are relatively young and lower-level personnel, and it is now their first period of service. When refusing to be vaccinated, all 27 Air Forces did not seek exemptions of any kind, including medical, administrative or religious exemptions. It is possible that these dismissed air forces have records of other violations, but the refusal to be vaccinated is one of the reasons why everyone was dismissed.
In addition, although the Air Force did not disclose the type of dismissal of these 27 people, Congress is passing legislation to restrict the military from granting soldiers honorable retirement or general retirement under honorable conditions when they refuse to be vaccinated.
