What sort of accountability process is there for the giving of an unlawful order?
What is SUPPOSED to happen is an investigation on the unlawful order and who gave it and why. Depending on severity of the order; i.e. did it cause or would it cause certain death, disability, or otherwise deplete the capability of forces under your command. This is outside a combat environment, mind you, as it gets a hell of a lot more complicated in a battlezone where a plethora of factors contribute to what constitutes an "unlawful order". Being commanded to fire upon civilians without cause, for instance, is an unlawful order.
I digress.
The simple fact of this is, for this context, the order would have and did kill, disable, and depleted morale and readiness force-wide. At the very least, whomever gave the order is mandatory removed from that position (fired), showing lack of ability to command, and the order remanded immediately. Troops having confidence in their command is a high priority. When that trust is breached by the very ones giving the unlawful order, the brave ones who know its bullshit will make a stand and refuse that order. This creates dysfunction in an organization that requires functionality 24/7. This is backed up by the Armed Forces own legal framework, known as the Uniformed Code of Military Justice or just "UCMJ".
Do you think the sheer scale will lead to any semblance of justice for those who have been wronged by the decision?
This hinges directly on those refusing ability to band together and see it through with the resolve they should have as being an American and American Military Member. They must see it thru legally and politically, never back down, and call any threat they get thrown at them. The means exists to win, if they seek it.
Thank you again, fren. It just boggles my mind that the military would use the "readiness" justification to push this poison. I'm happy that personnel are speaking out, including high-ranking medical professionals, and some headway is being made. I worry that there has already been too much damage done, not just with current enlisted and officers, but with the whole cohort of children who are tomorrow's US military who are getting jabbed over and over. Will there even be enough young people who are able (health-wise) and willing (still believe in serving their country in one of our armed forces) to supplement the ranks going forward? That would be a readiness crisis, for sure.
I pray that those who are brave enough to stand against this poison jab tyranny will hold fast throughout this storm, and for those who couldn't (or didn't), a means may be found to return them to health. And that those at the top who are making these decisions are held accountable and are served the justice they so richly deserve.
