Maj Gen Dunlap on the mandatory vaccination imbroglio

Over at Lawfire you'll find an informative and thought-provoking piece by Professor and Major General (ret) Charles J. Dunlap Jr. -- well worth reading.

"What could Congress’ repeal of the military vaccine mandate mean for morale and discipline in the armed forces?  Should those who were separated for failing to obey vaccine orders be reinstated?  These and related matters were raised by reporters recently, so this post aims to give you a perspective as you decide what you think the answers should be."
