You were talking down to me with the off-hand comments that didn't add anything to the conversation. Talk to me like a person. I'm stressed about this too, and waiting for this rodeo to happen is not fun. I just want to relieve some people who are tumbling down that hill to panic town and let them know that the military should not be feared by American citizens.
The terminations for not taking the vaccines are about mission readiness. When we go through our deployment lines we have to have medical sign-off on us and that means all of our shots to make sure we don't catch something preventable and grind everything to a standstill.
The UCMJ is something that isn't perfect because it's up to the judgment of superior officers and instead of being innocent until proven guilty, it's like guilty until proven innocent. When it comes down to it, Trump will not be in there forever, but he is going to do damage, and if it comes down to a person on trial for ignoring an order to shoot civilians because they were using their First Amendment right, we gotta trust that the system will hold.
Back in 2004 when the tsunami hit Indonesia my unit was asked if people wanted to volunteer their time to help those people in need half a world away, and when they asked, everyone, and I mean everyone stepped forward to help people who weren't even Americans. It's something that I'll remember for the rest of my life and I trust that there are people in the military right now who will do the right thing because it's good.
There's nothing here!
