He’s walking away from all he’s worked for and believed in since he was an ROTC kid at UGA

IF this is true, I wonder if he will actually be permitted an honorable discharge.

Btw, the following is the Oath taken by members of the U.S. Army:

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

So how would that apply if the if the Commander in Chief is actually trying to do something that is contrary to the Constitution (and is not in the best interest of United States citizens)? What then?

A little over 40 years ago I got in an accident where I only lived because I wasn't wearing my seat belt.

Despite that, I've worn a seat belt every time since, and I've driven about 1.4 million miles since then.

I agree with you and that is why I closed down my business in the late 1970's and moved out of the nitwit controlled city.

Should people get fined for not getting the vaccine?
Should people get fined for not wearing a set belt?

If the answers are different, what's the difference?

A more important question would be: Should our President be allowed to impose regulatory rules beyond the powers delegated to the federal government by our federal Constitution?

No on both counts.

However you don't irreversibly inject a seatbelt into your body.

This is the real question but Americans are too dumbed down to think about it.

The vaccine is very effective but not perfect, those who choose not to take the vaccine are the current problem. So what is the solution, just hope this goes away or wait for a permanent vaccine.
