The "vaccine" is not a legal order. Every service member goes through UCMJ classes in Basic Training. We also were put through SAEDA Briefings, too. (Subversion and Espionage Directed Against the Army) where we were taught that the bribes start out small and easy - like selling a post phone book for $5.
The choice is vaxx or be kicked out? That amounts to POW status, IMHO. So, going the route that can be reversed is the only route to take. The discharge WILL be reversed. Take the time off and enjoy the show - back pay will be awarded.
The vaxx cannot be reversed... and, you gave in and folded to the enemy.
That, to me, is a test. and failure is not an option.
not sure. but I do know that our grandson was told he had to get it or get booted. He went into the Army in June - so that was before the Press Release. He won't tell us if he did take it. But, the kid is such a smarty-pants wise-ass, he DID say this much: "Press Releases are not 'orders'."
