It depends on what your definition of "over" is.  We're in the process of redefining all of the pronouns used since English started being spoken.  Also, if you're a man you're not a man and if you're a woman you're you are not a woman. This is true because of the new science we discovered called Feelings.....fing feelings.   Why not change a few more definitions?

So like when we redefined the definition of vaccine right?

It's the internet.  ad hominem attacks are authorized.  And using the phrase ad hominem makes it look like you don't know the definition of a new latin word.  Just say "personal attacks."

Have you seen what that cat has posted?  I'm definitely sad that he flew B-1s.  We have some great people in that community.  Hopefully he hasn't been running around the community poisoning the Lts with his takes on the merits of mandates, article 15s and such.

I'll "happy to glad" the word choice to "allowed" vs. "authorized",  but it also appears that you've run out of arguments to make.  That's just one man's opinion though.

Your input on the use of ad hominem has been noted, thoughtfully considered, and rejected.  Seems like a pedantic argument to make to try and shift blame from the previously mentioned no-value added statement.

Last point, since this is an internet argument, there are no winners in this fight...you do you, boo.

Ran out of arguments = valid.  Have you seen these arguments?  Pedantic...there you go again.  Just call it a drawn out argument. I think you lost sight that I was no longer interested in making an argument, but rather flaming a caustic shit head, because its the internet.  Don't say "you do you, boo" to a dude.  I'm not woke, and its not ok to say that to another dude.  You are ing weird.

Or how Biden and company touts climate change as so important, but then he decides to fly to St Croix for vacation the day prior to the omnibus bill ready for his sig, which then necessitates another jet fly the bill down to St Croix so he could sign it there. He and the dems give zero fucks about climate change, they care about consolidating power and control (and money).

[BashiChuni]

covid and climate change are power grabs of enormous scale

F'n Finally.

DoD rescinds vaccine mandate.

[FUSEPLUG]

Grate spell check in the very last sentence. I’d expect nothing less from the POS who shoved this mandate down our throats for the last year and a half. 

[SocialD]

Man I hope this is legit! The dumb fucks a Luke stopped one of my guys less that was aweek or two from finishing the B-Course. Now, "saving those 6-9 rides," will cost the AF an entire B-Course, and then some. Instead of spending the last 2 years honing his skills as a fighter pilot, he's been languishing...waiting on our "leaders" to stop making the wrong decision.

The same POS that embarrassed the U.S. on the international stage with our humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan and still has a job. Too busy making extremism in the military videos.

“The Department's COVID-19 vaccination efforts will leave a lasting legacy…”

I bet it will, and I’m sure we have not yet seen the ramifications of such efforts.

Three years later and this horseshit is still going on. What’s even more hilarious is it’s “regardless of vaccination status”. Also very fitting that you can’t leave a comment on the post. 
 

2 weeks to stop the spread.

Never should have been a mandate.  I will never forget all the COVID psychos within our ranks and the massive damage they caused; they were pushing a mandatory booster so hard but thank God that didn’t become policy.  What a tragic episode in DOD.  There must be accountability or we’ll never recover legitimacy.

[Biff_T]

When I was in, the "yes" men (men- genderless humanoids for sensitive people) seemed to push whatever shit came their way.  There was very little push back (if any), even if the tasker was ridiculous and there weren't enough bodies to fly and plan tea parties.  Regardless of how stupid the tasking was.  If leadership said so, then we must do it.  No questions asked.  More often than not, they seemed more excited to do meaningless taskers than to fly a low level NVG formation sortie in the mountains (fun tasking lol).  Bronze stars for the power point warriors!  

The kind of humanoids that like to punish you for not wearing a reflective belt during the invasion of a sovereign country, are the same breed of leaders who were on the Covid vaccine patrol.  Good thing the Iraqis didn't see us without our reflective belts!  

Good leadership looks after their people. They don't try to fck them over every chance they get.  Leadership 101.  

Nothing quite like getting Chiefed after flying for 30 days straight following the Mar 20, 2003 invasion. It's like they had no idea that we were invading a sovereign country, they were just infatuated with making you wear that reflective belt to the chow hall.

Its like people sat on the train tracks for 2 years watching a train coming at them in slow motion and just said it was going to be ok over and over. Now they are realizing they are about to be hit by a train and they are scared and want accountability? 

Like good lord, I can go back in this thread to 2020 and see people talking about this exact topic. It was well known hospitals received additional federal funding based on "how bad" the COVID pandemic appeared to hit their facilities and associating deaths with COVID was the best way to secure more grants.

Some of these psychos are on this very forum.  They were cheering/hoping all those against covid shots would have their careers ruined and/or booted from the military.  I hope I can get our guy back to training in time to give a big fuck you to any of his former CCs who treated him like a piece of shit when they pulled him from the B-Course with a few rides to go.  I'm also hoping the government is force to back pay him, though I'm not holding my breath. 

 

I have absolutely zero confidence that there will be much accountability for the stupid decisions made over the last few years.  Fuck, even the memo states it only protects those "currently in the military."  I'd imagine that some lawsuits will follow and some may get back in (though I'm not sure why they'd want to) or at least get some form of payout.

This is my shocked face...  But holy hell, a few years ago, you didn't want to be the guy who even hinted at this.  "You clearly don't follow the science!"  "...why do you want to kill my kids/parents?!?!!??!?"  

How many people did we kill via depression because of the lockdowns?  Maybe it didn't make blimp on the chart, but it might be an interesting stat to see.

It wasn't It depression, it was Covid. 

I know because I use the word Science when I can't explain something or I simply don't want the truth to be told because it goes against what my team believes.  

It was Covid - Science

Changing definitions - Science 

Woman who support women's rights but she can't define what a woman is - Science 

You can only be racist if you're white - Science  (btw, I'm not racist I know a lot of white people)

Life begins when we say so - Science 

I like Science.  These guys (sexless humanoids) need to quit abusing that word.

@FLEA I remember summer 2020 talking about these aspects of Covid - it’s amazing how so many people said I (and others like me with critical thinking capability) we’re out to lunch, dangerous, etc. Complete silence from those same people who have been proven 100% wrong. I don’t hold grudges, so whatever, but I’ll still remember how some individuals in my life were horrendously wrong, shit on those who disagreed, and have made zero acknowledgment about it. Says something about their character.
