I predict a lot of people are about to purposefully start failing PT if it's actually going to lead to being kicked out like this is implying and not just limiting re-enlistment.

This another step to get the military to only have members that are willing to act on illegal orders for the god king. Same reason they are removing FBI agents for things they did 5 years ago.

I hope that the people who are principled enough to leave, are also principled enough to finally fucking resist.

Its not necicarily being principled that would make people do this. A lot more people want out because they don't like being in the military than the people who want to leave for purely ideological reasons.
