If this were a matter of simple incompetence, we would see corrective measures being taken as better information became available. There would be some CYA going on, but we would expect better data to result in better recommendations rather than doubling down on what appears to be stupid! Unless the stupid serves a useful purpose.

In a time when Russia and Ukraine are at war, China is threatening Taiwan, and countries like North Korea, Iran, and others are always looking for a way to move up the food chain of power, is this a good time to have our military recruitment levels at the lowest level they’ve been since our military went all volunteer in 1973?

Why is this happening? There are a variety of reasons, but the vaxxed mandate is definitely a big part of it.

1. First you have a vaxxed that doesn’t stop transmission against a disease that disproportionately does not harm young healthy people… and this vaxxed disproportionately harms those same younger people… So you are putting your military personnel at risk for little benefit even after the president declared the scamdemic over and the CDC declared that the vaxxed and the unvaxxed should be treated the same. So, you risk taking out a certain percentage of your fighting force from adverse events. And this happened before in the military with the EUA Anthrax Vaxxed that injured so many of our soldiers during the gulf war. Service members have already been lost or disabled from these new vaxxed. The military also potentially loses expensive equipment when some service members succumb to a stroke or a heart attack in the cockpit of a fighter plane or other aircraft. But if Afghanistan taught us anything, it is that this administration does not care about losing equipment, military personnel, American citizens, or allies.

2. You are grounding highly trained unvaxxed military personnel like fighter pilots and pushing them out… Many of these are instructor pilots that cannot be replaced. There are 80,000 unvaxxed military personnel who stand to get booted out. These are men and women who taxpayers have spent billions of dollars training. And they have a right to object to these immoral mandates that they did not sign up for.

3. Good patriotic young men and women who would have joined the military are now shying away from joining. Enlistment is at an all-time low and morale is low as well. People who would have enlisted and served our country well are now choosing other options.

So, when your immoral mandates risk direct injury to your compliant, kicks out some of your best people who are non-compliant, and discourages your future best from joining… You have created a huge national security risk hole in the military for no rational reason. And you create a military who will be more likely to continue to bend the knee to future immoral orders. If Nuremberg taught us anything, it is that “following orders” does not necessarily get one off the hook for war crimes. A soldier’s first duty is to the constitution and the law, and sometimes that means defying an immoral order. We need people who are willing to stand for what is right when others bend the knee. We also need our military readiness now more than ever.

The boot may have come off our backs, ahead of the midterms, but it is still firmly planted on the backs of our unvaxxed military service members….

Share and speak up for our unvaxxed military both on and off social media! We make a difference when we are many!
