An Army officer and former health official was convicted last week of flouting Covid-19 rules in the first-known court martial of its type, officials said.

The officer, 1st Lt. Mark Bradshaw, who had served as an Army Public Health Center headquarter's company commander at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, was convicted in military court April 29 of refusing an order to telework and reporting to his office without submitting to a Covid-19 test or otherwise furnishing a negative test result, according to the Army Times.

Col. Yevgeny Vindman, the top lawyer for Army Communications-Electronics Command, which oversees Aberdeen Proving Ground, said in a statement on the day of Bradshaw’s conviction, the case was the first where a high-ranking officer was found guilty of disobeying orders around coronavirus’ restrictions.
“Proud of the prosecution team at Aberdeen Proving Ground,” Vindman tweeted. “Secured a first in the nation conviction at court-martial of a lieutenant who failed to obey lawful orders re COVID mitigation measures. Guilty on all 3 counts. #orderanddiscipline”

The other evil twin blows it out his kale hole.

...He was told to stay at home and get very little work done? Why would anyone refuse to do that?!
