An Army officer and former health official was convicted last week of flouting Covid-19 rules in the first-known court martial of its type, officials said.

The officer, 1st Lt. Mark Bradshaw, who had served as an Army Public Health Center headquarter's company commander at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, was convicted in military court April 29 of refusing an order to telework and reporting to his office without submitting to a Covid-19 test or otherwise furnishing a negative test result, according to the Army Times.

The decision of the presiding officer contradicts that. The decision not to impose punishment is a slap in the face to the beltway bandits and civilian mafia overseers.

There is hope that when sanity returns (if ever) the conviction will be expunged.

BTW the prosecuting officer-Vindman ring a bell? Part of the corruption I agree.

Ok, I think I understand Lt. Bradshaw.

If the Government can create a Bioweapon, COVID-19, and use it to herd Americans into another Bioweapon, experimental vaccines, why couldn’t they infect us during the invasive testing process?

Our government has earned our distrust. Perhaps the trannies will be better soldiers for the deep state?

If Deep State intends to stick around, last thing it will want is a military loyal to our former republic.

You get coups that way.

The Lieutenant still has a court martial conviction on his record regardless of the punishment given.

He did this to himself. He could have shown up for work with a mask or via telework. He disobeyed those orders
