Meh. He’ll save on the salary of a pile of others he plans to remove.
It's an interesting question for Canada, isn't it?
Before the Trump Tariff Tantrum, I was all in for an integrated American/Canadian equipment standard with manufacturing of heavier equipment in the south and more emphasis on smaller item and munitions in the north. I've been trending more and more towards a complete Canadian and comprehensive industry. It doesn't matter to me if it's a US pattern tank or IFV, as long as it is completely manufactured in Canada under licence. We've reached that with the bulk of the ships, I can't see why it can't with the whole range of army equipment. It works in Australia. If the US won't see that our way then I'm sure the South Koreans won't balk at it.

The vaccine mandated was overturned over a year ago and troops who were discharged were to have their records corrected and were eligible to rejoin the services. The response was tepid.
We - many years ago - also had an issue with vaccinations. One aircrew refused the anthrax vaccine IIRC. It was a national story.There is the additional issue that notwithstanding the law passed by Congress re the Covid case, the US military, like ours, still has the issue to contend with that vaccinations have, over the last century plus, significantly reduced the rate of death by disease amongst troops deployed to countries and conditions where strange and uncommon diseases flourish. Vaccination has generally been implemented by lawful orders of the chain of command. Individual soldiers risk their own health and their comrades when vaccinations are refused. This issue has become a dog whistle one for the health sciences deniers that permeate the right.
That was the Kipling standing court martial in Winnipeg. I played a small role in that. Kipling's counsel, Jay Prober, subpoenaed several high level folks as witnesses including the CDS Gen Maurice Baril. I was hired as a civilian counsel for Baril by the DOJ to have his subpoena quashed which I did successfully.
Reconsideration firing alright, reconsideration STOPS ....

That's the problem. The anti side has all sorts of academics, celebrities and politicians to trot out; including now one in the US Cabinet. Maybe they need a few million dead or permanently disabled from resurgent infectious diseases. I vote for vaccination records at the border.
I suppose one can. One legitimate concern with the Covid vaccines was they lacked the long-term trial process.
All you need to do is take a walk in a cemetery from the 1920s or earlier. The amount of children and young adults in there is mainly due to lack of vaccines. Smallpox, TB (TB is a huge one), Spanish Flu, etc. Society is a victim of our successes on the vaccine front, they were so effective we fail to understand why we need them anymore.
Yes, it’s a healthcare decision. Like all healthcare decisions there is comfort levels and personally assessed risks. Just like how I believe in the effectiveness of vaccines but also support the rights of others to make decisions for themselves, in the words of a particular movement, ‘my body, my choice’.
Exactly. Also things such as mixing vaccines which our government recommended and pushed despite having the manufacturers recommend against that and having no actual data supporting the process. We were the world’s Guinea pigs which is something I am never going to forget.
Our government treated people like conspiracy nuts for daring to question the science.
