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..
Most of the guys got too scared, thinking they were gonna get court-martialed
That's not necessarily a bad thing. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
If ANG policy is to allow religious exemptions and their process is under review, the commander has overstepped his authority and a CM will flesh that out.
