Thanks for spreading the word on this brother, Mark is a great hero and I expect that he will be remembered as a Bonhoeffer of our time. Hopefully fighting back in the court of public opinion can staunch the draconian retaliation he is having to face for merely fulfilling his duty.

I live in Japan, a semi-retired academic and community activist, now working for the public schools in West Tokyo. As a whole, the Japanese tendency to bureaucratize every potentially empathy-driven community into more 'efficient' but easily corruptible rule-driven institutions is an appropriate mirror of militaries the world over since the beginning of civilization ... and to borrow a couple of old military terms, has gone from SNAFU to FUBAR, and only getting worse.

Disgraceful and disgusting. Sadly, under this illegitimate, radical administration, I am not surprised. I believe our soldiers have been medical guinea pigs for the corrupt powers that be for many years based on a lot I have been researching. Our prayers are with 1Lt. Bashaw. I also pray that every single military member who has been subjected to coercion to take experimental gene therapy should sue the hell out of the government.

There was a judgement rendered in another case just within the last week or so that said the orders for the jab were unlawful as it was EUA. It is expected everyone who was forced out has a case for wrongful termination and restoration of back pay benefits and rank.

I'll surmise the problem is due to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, who doesn't seem to care about upholding his oath to the US Constitution, or about maintaining US military readiness by maintaining the health of the military men underneath him to even educate himself enough to protect them from deliberate and unnecessary harm, injury and death. Bashaw is a hero. So Secretary Austin thumbs his nose at the military courts too. Why not, since he already violated international, federal and military laws by forcing the military to take a dangerous, experimental, unapproved, ineffective, EUA genetic treatment that may hurt them for life. Will people like Biden and Austin ever grow a conscience or do due diligence to have common decency and obey the law?

In my opinion, this is a good time to take separation from the military no matter the justice of the situation. Honorable service becomes increasingly unlikely when the leadership of the military and our political establishment is so awful. If there is a real shooting war in which our country needs brave men and women, they would beg to have people like 1LT Bashaw back.

Given the rigidity of the military legal system and the unlikelihood of most senior officers standing up to political pressure for the sake of subordinates (after all basically none of them protested the vaccination program), it is far better to fight the corruption and injustice from outside the military system unrestrained.

There are individual troops still that deserve respect. However, the Army as a whole has lost its way and credibility with proceedings like this. Well done 1LT Bashaw. Courage and conviction in the face of corruption that could lead to troops death or injury.

And the commander who refused to accept the judge's recommendations now has us doing COVID tests due to "increased cases" locally. He says masks must be worn by those who refuse the scam tests. The guy is too stupid to realize masks and tests accomplish nothing, unless he is in on the kickback racket from pharma?

This General is not competent to command a platoon of hot dog stands, let alone a Major Command element. The Rank and File wish to pull his General Officer appointment for LACK OF CONFIDENCE and dismiss him from the Army.

What do you think was developed and tested in the biolabs worldwide?

There is nothing "experimental" about the lethal injections; they function EXACTLY as intended.

Thanks for making this known

Sorry to hear that. He is a man of integrity, so there is not a place for him in the army right now.

The establishment obviously found - albeit slowly - a man here who could think for himself..such a man - of course - cannot be part of the NWO....

The enemy is thoroughly entrenched in our military.
