It's the natural consequence of disobeying orders in the military. The article talks about religious exemptions but from my experience those are useless when it comes to COVID. I have 2 family members both who are nurses who tried using the religious grounds argument, even going so far as to collect church officials signatures and were still forced out of their employment.

The governing regulation on forced vaccinations in the Army is AR 600-20, paragraph 5-4. If a Soldier denies a vaccination, that Soldier’s Commander must ensure the Soldier understands the purpose of the vaccine, ensure the Soldier has been advised of the possibility that the disease may be naturally present in a possible area of operation or may be used as a biological weapon against the United States, and ensure that the Soldier is educated about the vaccine and has been able to discuss any objections with medical authorities.
After a Commander does the above, he or she has to counsel the Soldier, in writing, that he or she is legally required to be immunized and that if he or she continues to refuse the vaccine, he or she will be legally ordered to do so and that failure to obey will be punished under the UCMJ.
In this situation, if the Soldier still refuses the vaccination, the Command has one of two options (or both). The first is to not administer the vaccination, but punish the Soldier for failure to obey a lawful order. The punishment could range anywhere from a letter of reprimand all the way up to a Court-Martial.
