That's my definition of what it is to be a man there.

I feel some sympathy for the people who were coerced with threat of losing career if they did not comply.

I tend not to criticize another man's decision when I have not walked in their shoes. I was under no pressure to comply. I hope I would have done what this courageous man did, but I can't be 100% sure.

At the same time I still cannot believe that so many military men and women, those who I think would be the least sheepish category of people, would go along with this, and particularly the general officers corp. (not flag officers)

I am still kind of stunned that so many so called smart, thinking, rational people fell under the vax trance.

Cognitive Dissonance is a real thing my fren.

To get past peoples firewall of CD, I'm learning the best was is not to storm their wall with a sledgehammer of truth. This overwhelms them with feeling of insecurity and causes them to put up more wall. It's better to plan a seed of truth under their wall where by that seed will root, grow and compromise the heretofore impenetrable wall of their cognitive dissonance.

Initially, success is not achieved by amount of truth you can deliver, as much as it is penetrating the wall of their resistance to truth. Once that dam get a leak in it, it will continue to grow.
