This sort of thing happens when you allow a dementia patient give orders to the military. And this doesn't consider the millions spent to train pilots and special operators.
US Military Might Lose $4 Billion Due To Pentagon’s COVID Vaccine Mandate, According
The Army stands to lose billions of dollars in training costs alone if it carries through with separating an estimated 62,000 troops who are refusing the vaccine, an analysis from the office of Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz contends.
In the analysis, first obtained by the Daily Caller, Gaetz says the U.S. military might be forced to spend $4 billion to replace soldiers discharged due to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The U.S. Army says it spends between $55,000-$74,000 per recruit for initial training. Meanwhile, recuperating 62,000 soldiers would likely take years.
Gaetz’s analysis also found that firing over 60,000 troops could lead to the loss of thousands of man-years of experience, rank, and grade. Gaetz, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, also noted that 62,000 service members is close to the size of the entire regular Canadian military.
“Nineteen (19) NATO member states have an active component military that are less than the proposed total of service-members to be intentionally untrained or possibly separated from service. The sum of 62,000 US service members is close in number to that of the entire regular Canadian military at 68,000 troops,” Gaetz’s analysis states.
