If you wish to do battle on your own with a ‘superior enemy’ (So Be It)!

 


However; on a ship in my navy you do not have the right to place your shipmates in the line of fire just because you want to disobey a direct order from your superior?

This should be an immediate ‘Court Martial offence’!

A US Navy officer has reportedly been bounced from his post as second-in-command of a destroyer for refusing to comply with COVID-19 jab-or-test rules — becoming the service’s first officer to be removed under President Biden’s military mandate.

Navy robbing Ford carrier to Kennedy carrier!

 

Navy robbing Ford carrier to Kennedy carrier!

Question?

Why?

Would those parts come from other countries or are they (Made in the USA)?

If the parts are not made in this country and one can only wonder why not made in this country don’t we need to hire and buy from our neighbor and not some country where we have no control over quality and pricing?

Now you are talking sense!

This is what we the taxpaying citizens want to hear rather than billions dollars each for ships and planes just to keep up with our enemies?

If an enemy chooses war (Russia, China, North Korea for instance), blow them out of the sky and water for about 1/10th the price of a modern ship or plane!


Helicopters, drones, destroyers and submarines will soon be armed with a new, high-speed, explosive Very Lightweight Torpedo (VLWT) weapon designed to destroy enemy submarines, ships and other targets. 


The Very Lightweight Torpedo:



The VLWT could fit in six-inch countermeasure tubes aboard American submarines and on larger torpedo launchers on surface ships.

Military Personnel and the Putsch at the U.S. Capitol

An Overview of Potentially Applicable Offenses Military Personnel and the Putsch at the U.S. Capitol

Fidell and Rachel VanLandingham, Lt Col, USAF (Ret.) January 13, 2021 The 1950 Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), an exercise of Congress’s constitutional power to “make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces,” criminalizes a host of classic forms of military misconduct, many familiar civilian crimes like murder, larceny, and arson, while also sweeping in all federal civilian crimes for which the death penalty is not authorized. The UCMJ additionally criminalizes all conduct “to the prejudice of good order and discipline” as well as that “of a nature to bring discredit on the service.” Among the UCMJ’s so-called “punitive articles” is the seemingly pertinent offense of sedition. According to Article 94(a)(2), anyone subject to the UCMJ who, “with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of lawful civil authority, creates, in concert with any other person, revolt, violence, or other disturbance against the authority is guilty of sedition.” Persons who are subject to the UCMJ also violate this article if they fail to do their utmost to prevent and suppress sedition committed in their presence, or fail to notify their superiors of sedition they know or have reason to believe is taking place. Either kind of sedition—actual or the failure-to-suppress or -inform subset—is punishable “by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct.” UCMJ - 20December2019.pdf (defense.gov) Power to Govern and Regulate Land and Naval Forces | Constitution Annotated | Congress.gov | Library of Congress 10 U.S. Code § 934 - Art. 134.

VA releases COVID-19 vaccine distribution plan, vaccinations began this week

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced today publication of its dynamic VA COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Plan, being executed at 37 sites across the country.

VA began vaccinating Veterans and frontline employees this week, following the Food and Drug Administration’s Dec. 11 decision to issue an Emergency Use Authorization for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.

The distribution plan addresses vaccinations for Veterans, staff and other federal partners including a prioritization framework for identifying the population(s) at highest risk to receive the vaccine. The plan will be updated over the next two weeks to reflect final recommendations and specifications from FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on COVID-19 vaccines authorized through FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization process — and will continue be updated as FDA approves new vaccines.

“VA employees have provided life-saving COVID-19 care to thousands upon thousands of people, and the department continues to play a crucial role in the nation’s response to the pandemic,” said VA Secretary Robert Wilkie. “Dedicated professionals across many fields contributed to this plan, which will ensure a safe, evidence-based and equity-focused vaccine rollout for VA frontline workers and Veterans.”   

The plan covers vaccine distribution in the United States, Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories where VA provides health care to Veterans, as well as vaccine safety monitoring and vaccine reporting as required by the CDC and Operation Warp Speed. 

Veterans seeking additional information should visit the VA Coronavirus Vaccine FAQs webpage, contact their care team or visit their facility website.
