Today marks exactly a year since I exited from the U.S. Army. My service in the Army spanned from May 31, 2003 - September 15, 2022. I don’t regret having served but I also don’t regret having gotten out when I did.
One of the main themes I want people to understand is that when I resigned, it was because I could no longer stomach being part of an organization that had come to stand in clear opposition to its stated objectives. Further, I felt I could do far more to maintain my oath to the Constitution and express my loyalty to the country by leaving the military than by staying in. The folks I have met and interacted with the past year have far more integrity, courage, and will to fight than the pretenders still in service (I’m not saying everyone in uniform is a pretender, but a lot of the commanders and senior personnel certainly are).
I made a short video today expressing a few thoughts that you can check out at any one of my channels: YouTube, Rumble, or Odysee.
The YouTube video can be viewed here.

I have great admiration for the stance you have taken. It was easy for me not to comply but I have not been tested in the way you have so I still do not know how I would have reacted under so much pressure morally, financially and socially. I have a very faint hope that I would have made a stand but I will probably never know, my wish for you is that in your future you will be exposed to opportunities that will greatly enhance your life. You did not submit and you stood your ground, thank you!
I am glad to see there are at least a few people who are principled and brave, but I am troubled there aren’t many more. KOVID was a test which humanity failed. What troubles me the most is that none of the people around me have even reviewed their decisions, despite mounting troubling evidence. None!
