All of these men were in the process of going through the religious exemptions, and the whole time they were told there would be no negative consequences or punishment.
Earlier today, they said fuck that, and are going to give all the people that say no an Article 15 (court-martial) as a parting gift. Kept them all locked up all day, no lunch, fear mongering them.
Out of the 200, only 56 were able to stand strong against getting the shot, and accept their fate (possible brig and loss of pension). Turns out, these scumbag commanders only used the Article 15 as a fear tactic, to try and coerce these men into taking the shot.
Instead, these 56 men got L.O.R.'s (letters of reprimand) for disobeying a direct command, UIF (unfavorable information file), inactive reserve. They get to hold their CAC (common access card) for 2 months, then they get a dependent ID card for the duration of their enlistment.
This is some sick shit going on right now.
You probably won't ever hear about this on the news....
How many JAG types are facepalming at hearing news like this? If the airforce are gonna act more like terrorists holding hostages, then their command structure should get what they have coming for them.
Any loyalty, wavering commitment to holding out against the vaxx etc in the reservists that remained is now GONE. Nice job you fucking dumbshits.
Breaking your word and past commitments they made is something that the smarter reservists will have in writing too..
We tried getting word to the guys to file Articles 138 with the JAG, and don't sign SHIT, and to let their officers be investigated.
Cuz from what I understand, a JAG HAS TO investigate any 138
Thats a pretty solid response... hope that the message was received and that the guys dont lose their nerve. Props for that.
We plan on hosting them for dinner on Saturday, at the American Legion...show them that we appreciate their courage, and stand with them
Outstanding, knowing you dont stand alone is half the battle.. those men and women deserve far better.
Hey OP, something's fishy here.
Article 15 is non-judicial punishment, not court martial. There are limitations to what they can do. This sounds more like threats and coercion. Sad that only 56 saw through it.
They have the right to appeal, have the right to consult an attorney, and can't be forced to separate from service, even in a field grade Article 15. Oh, and those letters of reprimand? Those are like your high school principal telling you "it'll go in your permanent file!"... unless it's a GOMOR (general officer memo of reprimand), it really don't mean shit. It evaporates if they transfer units.
They can also request court martial instead of taking the Art 15. Then it's out of the hands of the local command.
You have proof this is real?
