The Military IS* fucking losing it
Disclosure: I’m AD and forced inoculated (not a pure blood)
We all know the reason the military vaccine mandate was unlawful (we never had a fully approved vaccine). Regardless, the military pretended they were issuing a lawful order. How do I know they were aware of the unlawful order being issued?
No service member has been punished for refusing this “lawful order.” Failure to obey a lawful order is punishable under the UCMJ. So why were members only separated but not punished?
To punish a service member, they are typically brought to NJP (non judicial punishment). From there they can go through the process and eventually end up face to face with their unit commander if need be. To date, no one has been brought to NJP for refusing the “vaccine.” They have only been separated from service. So why is the military not going after those who refuse what is claimed to be a lawful order? Why allow good order and discipline to wither away?
If the military forced refusers to go through NJP, at any point in the process that member has the right to request trial by court martial. At that point, it becomes very much a judicial process. This trial would then set legal precedent for the rest of the military….. The Military knows it would lose on the merits. This exact process is given example in Band of Brothers when Dick Winters requests court martial when he is brought to NJP on frivolous charges.
Correct, separation has been the only result for the refusers. I know plenty who refused, are still in, and are still performing normal duties.
If this was truly a lawful order, these people would be immediately pushed into NJP. I know of a grand total of zero to date.
To me this is good news. Not ideal, but good considering. If you had it to do over, would you refuse the shot knowing you would probably just be separated?
I refused and lost my (civilian) job, but it's just me. I'd rather not judge those who had to make the decision with a wife and kids to support, not to mention UCMJ to contend with.
