(Sarcastically wondering if we could implant them with a chip before they leave so we could track and trace them). Of course we can track and trace with cell phones, no implants needed.
I wonder if DOJ will be involved in securing subpoenas to make that possible, because they will see former military joining preexisting militias they're already watching. They may also see new groups forming after the wave of self-selected leaves the US military.

When I was in the Army, there was never even any question that orders to get vaccinated would be obeyed. They were required, and we got them. No whining, no crying, no bleating about "rights"; we obeyed.
And hey! Protection against disease. This is a good thing, for those of you out there who don't seem to be aware of that fact...
