One New York Times poll found a third of active-duty and guard members don't want the vaccine, and Pentagon leaders say that's their choice to make.

The U.S. military is not planning to make vaccinations mandatory for service members even though a large portion of troops around the world are resisting the shots so far.
“If you believe, as I did, it's the right thing for you, please consider accepting it when it's offered to you," Lloyd Austin said.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin says he won’t mandate vaccines.
According to a New York Times poll, one-third of active-duty and guard members aren’t interested in getting the vaccine.

Military to Train Soon-to-Be Veterans About Extremism (VIDEO)

February 15, 2021
Efforts to hunt down extremists in the ranks are ramping up as the Pentagon focuses on training members transitioning into the civilian sector.
SHOW TRANSCRIPT
The signs of last month's insurrection are still obvious — unscalable fences like the one behind me protecting key areas of the Capitol. But there is some less obvious fallout, especially inside the military, where the effort to hunt down extremists in the ranks is ramping up.
"There's a concerted effort to prepare people as they get ready to retire. And I witnessed that, I went through it myself. Maybe there's more we can do. Maybe we need to help veterans, future veterans understand the pull that can come from some of these groups," Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said. "And maybe those groups are targeting potential veterans that feel disaffected."

But right now it’s filled with members of the Army National Guard who are all on order to ... protect the Capitol after last week’s riots here.
