Maybe I did not read closely enough but I did not see federal contractors, feral employees or DoD employees or military mentioned.

They need to back off of that crap as well of course.

The yard ape sec def has staked such a hard line position he has closed any save face doors to himself. He is going to have to get an order to back off or he won’t no matter how stupid it is.

You are correct. There is no mention of the mandates against the military and federal employees/contractors. And yes, they need to back off those groups of people as well.

However, I think the word is getting around (if a posting I read yesterday is accurate) that the true number of military members not complying is around 367,000, not the 16,000 the official narrative from the DOD is stating. If that number is true, there's no way 1/3 to 1/4 of the military can be court martialed. And if it is also true that the Pentagon fears an armed revolt if they try, then perhaps they will be backing off that demand as well soon, for the military and federal employees.

All we can do is stay saddled up and endure the ride. Thank you for your wisdom and knowledge. Let's keep in touch!
