By an anonymous military member
DOD’s hateful disrespect of inherent human dignity destroyed service member and public trust and confidence in today’s military leaders.
The military who swore to support and defend the Constitution that protects the supremacy of conscience and honors a person’s inherent worth, was the first to destroy and tolerate violation of rights in the pandemic.
How can the public trust a military to protect its liberties when not only does it fail to stand up for their own, but then becomes the mechanism leading the way to lockdowns, forced medical procedures, censorship, and the insanity of U.S. COVID response?
The Biden administration falsely declared success of the military mandate to support the mandates that followed across America; the mandates subsequently ruled unconstitutional in so many courts.
Plummeting recruiting, retention, and readiness figures along with $billions of lost training investment all trace to COVID policies.
Congress’s elimination of the shot mandate and numerous judicial injunctions were necessary, but insufficient to return “readiness” to the force amidst the loss of special trust and confidence perpetuated and tolerated by DOD’s failed leaders.
The entire general and flag officer corps of the U.S. military failed in the only duty they had, to support and defend the Constitution that exists to protect the rights of its citizens.
Only accountability and removal of every O-7 and above will return the U.S. military profession to its historical position of respect and worthy deference.
States, Congress, and the Judicial branch must intervene with strong support from the public to demand accountability for DOD’s abrogation of citizen rights and willful participation in fraud surrounding COVID-19 vaccines and policies.
Beyond the obvious failures in advancing U.S. national interest these past 20 years, culminating in the shameful retreat from Afghanistan, general and flag officer conduct through COVID indicates a cancer than must be excised root and stem as efforts to rehabilitate will endanger the whole body.
The complete loss of general and flag officer moral authority comes from the futility, inadequacy, and danger in their subordinates fulfilling their duty to disobey unlawful and profoundly stupid orders.
Worse they punished the exercise of rights in the fulfillment of duty, that they were sworn to support and defend.
Officers must follow the law to address fraud, waste, and abuse. They must not follow unlawful orders. They must seek redress when there are wrongs, particularly ones that violate law.
Similarly, the Constitution is clear that service members have right to act upon their conscience informed by faith and to free speech and inquiry AND that the Government has a duty to protect those rights, but the past two years, DOD and its cowardly general and flag officer corps systemically abused those who self-identified as critical thinkers, courageous constitutionalists, and faithful.
The military crushed the rights and dignity of what it was sworn to support and defend, to its own demoralization and self-destruction.
The loss of service member’s voices, their agency in the world, destroyed morale in units more than the betrayal from the vaccine mandate, systemic religious discrimination, and vaccine injuries, because such tyranny destroyed the American spirit that bound us together.
Service members see the disrespect of “unvaccinated refusers,” often high performers before their religious beliefs were suddenly and unconstitutionally declared incompatible with future service, and know that such an arbitrary policy could target them next. . . . .
