I’m Brad Miller. At the time of this writing, I live in Tennessee. I am a graduate of the United States Military Academy and a former U.S. Army officer. I like to write and hold a lot of opinions which differentiate me from many of those around me. I like to study topics that interest me. I also like to develop my thoughts and on occasion I share those thoughts with others by writing.
I care deeply about my country and always have. However, I also think that the United States has wildly departed from the bedrock principles on which the republic was founded. I’m very concerned about her future.
I grew up in North Carolina in a typical southern town where the majority of the people were conservative Christians that were deeply patriotic. I feel very tied to the area I grew up in though I have not lived there in over two and a half decades.
After high school I went to West Point. After graduation in 2003, I entered the Army as a second lieutenant. Throughout the course of my career, I was fortunate enough to serve in a wide array of positions in many parts of the world that granted me a variety of unique experiences. I deployed twice to Afghanistan, spent three years in South Korea, a year in Honduras, and routinely travelled officially throughout other parts of Latin America. I feel very privileged to have seen so much of the world and been able to interact with so many amazing people from all over.
I concluded my military career in the fall of 2022 in the wake of the fallout from the covid-19 vaccine (and by vaccine, I mean “vaccine”) mandate. When the mandate was implemented, I was serving as a battalion commander in the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, KY.
This command position represented the culmination of my career in more ways than one. Normally a two -year assignment, I was relieved after four months in command for refusing to go along with the aforementioned mandate.
A few months after my relief of command, upon the full realization that the Department of Defense was going to continue with its policy of separation for all unvaccinated service members, I resigned from the Army with a total of nineteen years, three months, and fifteen days of active service. At that point, I no longer wanted to be part of the organization. In my resignation memorandum, I included the following statement to explain my decision:
For me, making the decision to resign from the Army, though extremely significant in its impact, was not necessarily a difficult one. I truly believed (and believe) that DOD leaders were engaged in treason. Further, I felt that I was witnessing widespread cowardice at all levels of command throughout the military.
I had therefore decided that there was only one real option for me. That included separating myself from the organization that, despite its charter, had turned against its own troops and the American people.
I don’t regret that decision though it has certainly made my life immensely more difficult financially. I can’t and won’t pretend that it has been easy trying to figure out how to reorient my life after a premature departure from my originally intended career path and the corresponding loss of a retirement pension that I was less than nine months from securing (at the twenty-year mark).
I believe that what we have recently witnessed with covid represents a deliberate “operation” perpetrated, at least in part, by our own government against us. I have believed that since February 2020 when we first began to really hear about covid. However, I think covid (and the covid injections) only represents one prong in a comprehensive strategy to control all of us.
For many years I have believed that our government has lied to its citizens about much of history. Much of the last third of my life has been dedicated to my own personal studies to determine the truth as to how our government operates and how the world really works. That’s why I was immediately so skeptical of the official narrative about covid.
I want to do my small part to help others learn how we can work together to salvage our nation. After all, I believe we have a duty to God, each other, and ourselves to pursue truth and fight for what’s right.
I plan to write about a variety of topics. At times I will share my thoughts about themes in history, current geopolitical topics, religion, or other “weighty” topics. At other times, I may choose far lighter topics to comment on. I don’t always have some clear, underlying purpose in everything I write (though I may in much of what I write).
Sir, thank you for writing. I just found you through a mutual reader and agree with a good deal of what you're saying (though I write from a different perspective). I'm sorry to hear how you separated, though I continue to serve. I care about actual lethality and effectiveness, and it looks like you do too. Thanks again for writing, one officer to another.
The honorable path is often the more difficult one. Nothing but respect for you, your years in service, and your decision.
