Mark Charles Bashaw, a former Army first lieutenant, was removed from service in June for refusing the vaccine, testing, and masking previously enforced by Defense Centers Public Health-Aberdeen, formerly known as Army Public Health Center.
Bashaw, who has obtained legal protection as a whistleblower, tells American Family News he is one of thousands of service members retaliated against and discharged from the military for doing so.
For him, that punishment was a criminal offense and so he argues the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and the Manual for Courts-Martial, allow him to report an offense subject to trial by court-martial.
Thus, on November 24, Bashaw sent a notarized “Affidavit of Truth” with claims of UCMJ violations to his former commanding general, Maj. Gen. Robert L. Edmonson II, as well as his superior, Gen. Charles R. Hamiliton.
Bashaw outlined multiple violations of the UCMJ. One includes an Article 132 which is the “retaliation against a protected communicator,” he explains. He also included evidence for a violation of an Article 92, which is related to failure to obey a lawful order or regulation.
For Bashaw, his commanding general failed to ensure FDA-approved COVID-19 vaccines were available for service members.
“This he couldn’t do because they didn’t exist,” he says, referring to the emergency use authorization of the shot. . . . .
. . . Bashaw insists he is not the only military officer who “tried to do things the right way.”
Fellow military whistleblower and active-duty Navy Medical Service Corps officer Lt. Ted Macie recently released a video, which is now available on X. When comparing 2022 to a five-year average, he disclosed a 36 percent increase in hypertensive disease, 69 percent in ischemic heart, 62 percent in pulmonary heart disease, 973 percent in heart failure, 63 percent in other forms of heart disease, and 152 percent increase in cardiomyopathy in active-duty fixed-wing and helicopter pilots.
“Like me, [Macie] went through his chain of command with hard, concrete facts about the dangers of the shots as he was supposed to do,” Bashaw says. “And they ignored him and now he’s gone public.”
Macie’s command subsequently asked him to delete the video. Despite complying with this request, his chain of command removed his access to the Navy’s computer network as if he posed an insider threat. . . . (read more on American Family News)
