They are being coerced, lied to, and threatened with negative paperwork or dishonorable discharge. Most are being given arbitrary deadlines by their commands, not dictated by higher ups. Many will cave because they can’t afford dishonorable discharge.
Many more are attempting to get religious accommodation exemptions. Most of those will be denied, but will allow them to separate honorably. They are essentially weeding out the remaining free-thinkers.
The military is a giant machine that does not work like the real world. For the little guy, there is little they can do.
This news is a nice surprise considering what a liberal shithole a the lot of servicemen community looked like from past experience (for reference I used to frequent imgur and reddit)

Wow. We have 1.4 million active military across all branches. If they are saying 800k, its probably more like 1.1 million.
While there is no deadline officially (speculated September 15th), they are not going to get 800k shots with resistance no matter how hard they try.
I'd like to see them try court marshal 800k active military members. That'd be a hoot.

The military is like any other entity with employees. You get enough to say no, they will back down.
The problem is that are warriors are programmed to be compliant to their superior officers. It makes them taking a stand more difficult.
Thanks for the sauce.
