Saying that "All internal efforts to rectify recent criminal activity within the Armed forces" have been "Exhausted," more than 200 military veterans and service members signed and published a "Declaration of Military Accountability" on January 1 over the Department of Defense's its enactment and enforcement of the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Invoking the Declaration of Independence in a declaration of their own, the current and former members of the U.S. military state that America has reached a point in its history where it is "Necessary to admonish the lawless, encourage the fainthearted, and strengthen the weak" as the "Affairs of our nation are now steeped in avaricious corruption and our once stalwart institutions, including the Dept of Defense, are failing to fulfill the moral obligations upon which they were founded."
Unlike the Declaration of Independence, the signers of the Declaration of Military Accountability "Seek no separation" as the patriots of 1776 did from Great Britain, "But through this letter and the efforts we pledge herein, we pursue restoration through accountability."
On the Pentagon's enactment of the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, the declaration states that "Military leaders broke the law, trampled constitutional rights, denied informed consent, permitted unwilling medical experimentation, and suppressed the free exercise of religion," actions that meant "[s]ervice members and families were significantly harmed.
Due to this lack of accountability, the 231 signatories to the declaration state their intention to "Do everything morally permissible and legally possible to hold our own leadership accountable" because they "As service members and veterans...feel particularly responsible for the DoD and, in according with our oaths...will make every effort to demonstrate by example how an institution can put its own house in order."
Signing "On behalf of hundreds of thousands of service members and the American people, while appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for guidance and purity of intention, mutually pledge to each other that we will do everything in our power, through lawful word and action, to hold accountable military leaders who failed to follow the law when their leadership and moral courage was most desperately needed," the declaration of their own explains.
"While all good things come to an end, we refuse to allow our nation to go quietly into the depths of decadence and decay," the veterans and service members declare.
