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....
If we're anything like the military we can expect 50 of every 200 to hold strong when things start getting personally difficult. And that is what we can expect after 1 day of difficulty. Weeks and months of difficulty and real suffering if it gets to that point? It might not matter that we collectively have more guns because there wouldn't be very many of us willing to stand up and use them. It would probably be a good mental preparedness exercise to decide now how far we're willing to go to preserve our right to bodily autonomy. I think I would rather die than take their jab but I have yet to face my difficult day(s).
