It is sadly encouraging to see we are not alone in this Faustian bargain: My husband, also a decorated and respected Army officer with 16 years of committed service to our nation resigned his commission less than four months ago over the vaccine mandate. He had both serious medical, ethical, moral and religious objections, which were all denied, mocked, ridiculed and punished. While deployed and unvaxxed last year, he was essentially put in prison, separated from everyone else as punishment, and forced to mask 24/7, including during sleep bc he had to share quarters with other vaxxed soldiers- never mind the entire brigade came down with covid anyhow. It was a 12 month endurance test of unnecessary psychological abuse. Even though he was a high-ranking Chaplain, he was denied a religious exemption. (If a literal “religious man” hired to be “religious” is not given religious accommodation, clearly no one is able to.).
We are saddened it has come to this for us after serving with such commitment, love for our Nation, and after so many painful sacrifices and multiple excruciatingly long deployments (combined, both my husband and I served for over 22 years - I’m an army veteran too), but it is the only option we can live with. There was no alternative. This is a very grave matter with very big and real implications far beyond what we can even imagine.
It is also a stark example for our young children about what it means to live with conviction of spirit and principles and just doing what is plainly right to see- for if this continues to escalate and morph into other loses of bodily sovereignty, they may never know the freedom we grew up knowing. How could we not fight for them? As painful as it is now having lost our income and retirement, I know they will understand this more as adults looking back on this time.
We would appreciate prayers to find another job and a way to start all over again during middle age- it’s a scary time for all of us, but I believe the best is yet to come, even if it only means to be able to live without regret. God bless.
What has happened to our country is: the people have turned their collective backs on God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob! The God that nourished and protected America during it growing years. People today mock God and kill their children in the name of Molech, same as what went on 1,000's of years ago. Nothing new. You turn your back on God, and God will turn his back on you. That's all there is to it.
My deepest admiration and respect to you and your husband. Prayers for both of you...
I did the same. I knew a "mandate" for injection was a sure thing -- and sure enough it was. Year and a half from full retirement. Said good-bye to my career, our income, health insurance, and the life we had. Simply would not/could not comply -- with snot pouches, "distancing," and certainly not injection with gene-altering crap.

As retired military, it is heartbreaking to read your comment.
