Quit whining.
The issue is not if people should follow orders as the thread title demonstrates, it’s the cost of giving STUPID orders. The order given with a deadline of June 2022 qualifies as a STUPID order, because by this time pretty much all the susceptibles have already HAD COVID-19 and are now as immune as anybody else, regardless of immunization status and the immunizations being given - even as boosters - are providing at best a four week period of immunity to reinfection against current variants. Yet the cost to the military is still substantial at a time the future of the all-volunteer force is truly in question:
The issue isn’t whether or not the military should follow orders - they should - even stupid ones. The issue is that stupid orders ought not to be given to begin with.
