As I said, it wasn't published in a notable pillar of truth such as the Atlantic. LOL. Time will tell I guess? It's shaping up to be an interesting winter. Enjoy it, trophy collectors.

The army (and DoD in general) is not mandating vaccination to save the servicemembers, they're doing it to avoid operational disruption from rapidly spreading covid which would degrade training and readiness long-term. Especially in austere military working and living conditions.

Her training and role in the military is very stovepipe, and she's waaaay out of her lane.

Couldn’t the same thing be said for the policy makers in government concerning Covid policy?

I thought he was talking about Fauci and Biden, so I didn't respond.

No. They have a lot of qualified technical advisors.

Their failing is in leadership, ie making hard choices with potential political consequences.

An expert epidemiologist is likely to advise mandatory lockdowns, etc because their calculations show deaths and disruption in the healthcare system. A leader should consider that with all of the OTHER ramifications associated with draconian government actions, weight it all and make a decision.

Instead many of the elected "leaders" seem inclined to punt and CYA by doing what the bureaucrats recommend... regardless of second/third order effects.

Also the problematic ones seem inclined to cater to their base, which includes most of the hysterical TP hording covidians.

Not wise to accept cash, with the hyperinflation people are predicting, it will be worth more as a toilet paper soon!
