I do understand that calculation. I'm grateful I was retired from my job in Army medicine and public health well before I would have had to worry about losing my retirement pay for telling the truth. I'm grateful that SPC Michael New was the one in position to refuse to be placed under UN command instead of me, long ago, because I wasn't sure I'd have had the courage. (I was deployed in another theater at the time, which later came under UN command, but only well after I'd left. I breathed a sigh of relief.) But the people I *respect* are SPC New and those officers who have resigned before retirement rather than keep quiet in the face of destruction of the military - Marine Lt Col Stuart Scheller, over the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle; Air Force Lt Col Matthew Lohmeier, over Woke, Inc.; and Army LTC Paul Douglas Hague, over the injection mandate and also "the Marxist takeover of the military," along with those who, long ago, signed what was to become either the foundational document for a new country or their own death warrant, pledging "our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." It's a pledge that doesn't just sound like hollow words in an old document, when one is faced with losing one or all of them. Yes, people may suffer financially, terribly, when they do the right thing, as have the outspoken physicians whose hospital privileges and medical licenses have been threatened and even removed, taking away their means of livelihood, too. However, the injections were just added to the U.S. Childhood Immunization Schedule. Many lives are at stake. If he has any inkling that his injury is causally associated with the injections, then *now* is the time to have the courage to speak out, trusting in God, though at a time when it is so difficult to do so. (Matthew 6:26-34.)
You speak from intimate experience with the military - this football player does not have the disciplined background that you have. Young people today have NO INKLING what it is to be DEPRIVED--they have been HANDED so many "things" without understanding the TRUE VALUE of ANYTHING. I see it everywhere in the millennials and Gen "Z"ers (BTW...doesn't the moniker "Z" denote the END of "generations"? I believe Jesus will be returning IMMINENTLY - I see so many predictors given to us in Scripture.
