Maybe Biden will be in the brig.
Agreed — the way of the Rat.
What about Space Force? Is it not a "branch of the U.S. military?"
F Joe Biden
Let's Go Brandon!
Amazing the threads on the military vs. admin get so little notice on this site.
It seems few care.
I remember one of the documents I signed when I went in specifically said that we couldn’t sue the govt.
Are they going to be able to get past this?
This may turn out to be the mother of all class actions. Think of all the unvaxed that will be jumping on board.
