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....
The thing that pisses me off the most about it, is how they lied to them, to try and scare them into it....well, it worked for most of the guys, those motherfuckers
Omg… the military lied to the soldiers?!
But seriously, when the military turns on their soldiers, they’re lucky if the soldiers don’t turn on the military.
Out of 200 men facing courts martial and the brig, you’re going to find a few who are willing to fight.
Glad we didn’t have to see what would happen had they tried to follow through with that threat.
3 / 4th of them caved after half a day
