Military Troops Now Report Being Forced to Wear ‘Arm Bands’ to Prove Vaccine Status

Poetrooper sends in this Becker News report;

Military troops at a southern military base have come forward with information that red arm bands have been introduced in the U.S. Armed Forces to indicate they have not been vaccinated for Covid-19.

Three anonymous sources, whose names have been withheld to prevent retaliation, have indicated that a Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, Louisiana, has introduced red armbands to signify unvaccinated troops and green armbands to signify vaccinated troops in the 30-day training rotation.

National Guard troops are reportedly wearing blue bracelets to signify that they have been vaccinated. However, there are no reports that the regular army stationed at Fort Polk have been given a direct order to wear the armbands.

Troops “in the box” at Fort Polk who do not desire to comply with armbands due to concerns that it unduly coerces them to be vaccinated prior to FDA approval and a top-level military order are left with little recourse at this time. They are subject to discipline under the UCMJ if they refuse to obey direct orders.

“Army Troops are being forced to wear bracelets to segregate them as unvaxxed,’ Tennessee congressional candidate Robby Starbuck said on Twitter. “This should NEVER happen in America. I’m so disgusted I barely have words. I’ll be doing everything in my power to stop this lunacy. Who’s with me?” he asked.

A second military member, who describes himself as being in the U.S. Air Force, came forward to say that he wore a blue wrist band. The Air Force member did not yet clarify upon questioning if the wrist band was for vaccinated or unvaccinated status, or if it was only during a quarantine phase.

A photo [shown at top of article] from the JRTC page on Facebook appears to confirm the red arm bands have indeed been put into place.

Becker News reached out to Fort Polk for comment and has not heard back at the time of publication. Freelance journalist Michele Blood, however, was able to obtain a comment from JRTC at Fort Polk via social media.

“What do the green arm/wrist bands signify?” Blood asked.

“[T] hey identify COVID vaccination status which allow our OCTs to have the ability to conduct any needed contact tracing quickly, providing a safer environment for the training rotation and the people who work to support it,” the JRTC Operations Group admin. replied.

I think we can all agree with one Facebook user’s reply to Ft Polk;

So… first you’re going to mande the vaccine for folks who work on post under penalty of losing their jobs. Then you’re going to try to bribe them with a lottery? I’m disappointed, Sir. The red and green arm bands are a nice touch too. I’m going to draw a six-pointed star on mine just to remind anyone who still has any sense left what is going on here.
