November 2nd

[MikeyTX]

November 2nd is the day upon which all active duty members of the armed forces have to have gotten at least their first Covid-19 shot. National Guard and reserves have till Dec 2nd. Stats show 97% of active duty have complied. Possible discharge from duty is on the table for refusal. So how come we weren't offered that option during Nam ? I'd of never let them inoculate me.

Thankfully, it takes more than one to activate the "football."

When they shot me up with the air needles/guns in both arms [Fort Dix1965] there wasn't a choice....And as a matter of fact i didn't know what i was injected with....I think it was 6 or 7 vaccines all at one time...

[MikeyTX]

Same way back in '63. I'll bet nothing has changed to this day.

No choice at MCRD in 1966 either. But I believe what ever they injected in us was not experimental. A lot of us survived to be the old farts that we are. Long term effects are unknown about the stuff being injected now..... Jim

Interesting article. I was not aware of Camp Matthews at all. Of course, we were not provided with any information that wasn't relative to what we needed. The Edson range at Camp Pendleton is the range used when I was in. We were bussed from MCRD to Pendleton and temporarily housed there while at the range. Better and newer facilities than at S.D. The D.I.s were kinder to us while at the range. But that kindness ended once we returned to MCRD. Ahhhh..... The memories.....

​Correct. Congress must first produce an EWO (Emergency War Order) to authorize handing that briefcase to the president so he can open it. This isn't going to happen on a whim. Darned serious business. And just so everybody understands, there are no buttons to be pushed, it actually involves removing a set of keys from a locked console and turning them both at the same time.

At least, that was the protocol back in the early 70's.

Ours went with us. There was no let up in the bs.

And ​Hollywood never exaggerates or fails to tell the truth.

Camp Mathews was given to the state of California, I think in 1964. It is now part of the University of California, San Diego.

Well, today is election day in TX and elsewhere. We have 8 amendments on the ballot. Of course the one to watch is VA. It is evidently very close.
