Burn pits, bad intel, good for the team but bad for you plans?
That's not your decision.
I hope they're dishonorably discharged and lose all pay and benefits.
Perhaps you’ll get your wish, but it seems unlikely. It’s not just the 60,000 or so that haven’t gotten any immunizations, it’s also a lot more WHO ARE JUST AS IN VIOLATION OF THE ORDER as they have not COMPLETED their series and are only PARTIALLY immunized.
And it is a STUPID order because by this time nearly all these people have already HAD COVID and have acquired immunity,and current immunizations for it are only providing about four weeks of immunity anyway. And I never said you didn’t have to enforce even stupid orders, unfortunately you do to keep military discipline. But that STILL doesn’t keep it from being a STUPID order, the juice not being worth the squeeze.
Worse yet, if this results in the DOD having to back down, for either legal or political reasons, they will have shot themselves in the foot…or possibly other parts of their corporate anatomy.
