A decorated one-star general who served his country with distinction now faces the potential end of his military career by December 31st, as deep-state holdovers within the Department of Defense continue their relentless campaign of COVID-era retaliation against service members who stood firm on principle.
Brigadier General Christopher Sage finds himself caught in bureaucratic crosshairs despite President Donald Trump's return to the White House and his administration's stated commitment to ending the persecution of military personnel who refused the controversial COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
A Pattern of Punishment
The looming deadline represents more than just one officer's fate—it symbolizes the continued stranglehold that Biden-era policies and personnel maintain within the Pentagon. Despite the change in administration, the machinery of punishment continues to grind forward against those who exercised their constitutional rights and religious convictions.
"There was a sentiment in the Army during my career that was often heard among officers about how responsibility works for those selected to be unit commanders, the senior figure in every military unit upon whom all authority and responsibility ultimately falls."
This principle of command responsibility, long held sacred in military tradition, appears to have been weaponized against leaders like General Sage who made principled stands during the pandemic hysteria.
The Deep State's Grip on Defense
Conservative critics argue that the continued persecution of vaccine mandate resisters demonstrates how deeply entrenched Obama and Biden appointees remain within the defense establishment. Despite President Trump's electoral mandate to drain the swamp and restore accountability, career bureaucrats continue executing policies designed to purge independent thinkers from military leadership.
The treatment of General Sage and others like him sends a chilling message to current service members: toe the ideological line or face career destruction, regardless of who occupies the Oval Office.
Time Running Out
As the December 31st deadline approaches, supporters of General Sage are calling on the Trump administration to intervene directly and halt what they characterize as an unconstitutional witch hunt. Many veterans and military families are watching closely, viewing this case as a litmus test for whether the new administration can truly reform a Pentagon that appears determined to punish patriots while promoting progressive ideology.
The question remains: Will President Trump's defense leadership act decisively to end this Biden-era persecution, or will the bureaucratic deep state claim another victim in its war against traditional American values within our armed forces?
