COVID-19 vaccine: Being exempt; opposing the mandate; standing up

As a U.S. Marine Corps lieutenant colonel, I asked to speak to the Commandant of the Marine Corps.

Nothing in what I have published here is intended to represent the U.S. Marine Corps, the Department of the Navy, or the Department of Defense.
