Of course, the mask will not be worn during battle, or during any operation requiring effective communication as it would hinder breathing and interfere with verbal commands. By going “mask free”, the new soldiers will be lauded as heroes for taking that risk alone. I try every day to believe that this bizarre behavior will soon end, and that we might again be “allowed” to function as a normal civilization of human beings. I try also every day to not wonder what the next directive might be, and who will be giving it. This should not be happening in our nation, of all others. As has been observed by many others, this is a slippery slope; if we can all be forced by law to wear a mask, we will be forced by law to adopt other behaviors
“Other Behaviors!”

I will Not wear
The Ribbon!
But what about soldiers with gas masks?
