By Filing Lawsuit Against Pentagon
The Department of Defense will require all U.S. military troops to take the COVID-19 vaccine by September 15th. The Associated Press earlier reported on Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s memo.
The AP reported that “the deadline could be pushed up if the vaccine receives final FDA approval or infection rates continue to rise.”
“I will not hesitate to act sooner or recommend a different course to the President if l feel the need to do so. To defend this Nation, we need a healthy and ready force,” the Defense Secretary added.
An Armed Forces member refusing to take the vaccine is subject to punishment under the U.C.M.J., the AP’s report noted. The punishment for refusal to obey an order may escalate up to court martial.
“Some unvaccinated service members have suggested they’d get the shot once it’s required, but others are flatly opposed,” the report said.

At eighteen, it is a stark lesson in life to find in one day that your life is of no value and you are expendable.
At 89 I still visit grave sites on the internet, of comrades and a brother lost so long ago. My brother and one friend never came back.
The young around me say, "that was a long time ago, let it go".
We were young once, a long time ago.

Tell the young men to be thankful that they don't have any awful memories, etched so deep in their hearts and souls, that they can never be "let go."

When I saw the Vietnam Memorial Wall in DC, it broke me up.
My hat's off to the guys that had to go, living and dead.
But to the point, even more morally brave are the men and women who refuse bad medical treatment in the face of official discipline.
What happened to "My Body, My Choice"?
