During a recent interview, Panetta claimed vaccinating troops is a \u201cmatter of national security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Panetta said he believes there is no reason Joe Biden can\u2019t enforce vaccinations, stressing he took every required shot during his time in the military.<\/p>\n<p>Biden commented on the idea stating, \u201cI\u2019m not saying I won\u2019t. I think you\u2019re going to see more and more of them getting it. And I think it\u2019s going to be a tough call as to whether or not they should be required to have to get it in the military because you\u2019re in such close proximity with other military personnel.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FULL EPISODE: 7\/11\/21 Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta discusses the US withdrawal from Afghanistan <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/t8f8PP01ve\">https:\/\/t.co\/t8f8PP01ve<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Greta Van Susteren (@greta) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/greta\/status\/1414220086018256896?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 11, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This comes as several reports have suggested more than a third of service members are refusing the doses.
