Exclusive–General to Be Forced Out of Air Force Over Stance on Biden Admin's COVID Policies

A decorated fighter pilot and one-star general will be forced out of the U.S. Air Force on December 31, even after the Board for Correction of Military Records (BCMR) found that he was unfairly targeted due to his opinions on COVID mandates. Jon Cherry/Getty Images Brigadier General Christopher Sage is one of many service members who are still fighting to keep their jobs or get them back after the Biden administration zeroed in on those who dared to question its vaccine, masking, or quarantine protocols. What makes his case particularly rare is that a Pentagon official overturned the BCMR’s ruling that he was a “victim of an injustice” in a shocking decision that has been devastating to Sage, his wife, and five children. An order that Sage’s attorney says was signed by President Joe Biden’s autopen officially removed him from a promotion list, giving him just days before he will be forcefully retired from the military after decades of service. While stationed at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, and working at Ramstein Air Base in Germany for the Allied Air Command (AIRCOM), Sage spoke exclusively with Breitbart News on Monday. “For three years and 10 months, we colored inside the lines. We followed the appeal process,” the 31-year veteran said. “We appealed it to my chain of command, and they took no action against me. We appealed it, ultimately, to the BCMR, and we won... It just seems like every time we take two steps forward, we take three steps back. And here we are at the eleventh hour, and we finally decided it may be time to make a little bit of noise here, just to try to get the senior leaders’ attention.” The debacle started back in 2021, when the one-star general was on his seventh deployment. He arrived to be a wing commander at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base (MSAB) in Jordan. COVID-positive airmen were being quarantined in a structure surrounded by barbed wire. Appalled at the harsh treatment, Sage ordered the barbed wire to be torn down and relocated the infected airmen to VIP quarters with in-room bathrooms so they could recover with dignity. That was the first major time he pushed back on the base’s pandemic policy. He went on to end redundant COVID testing - which was not even required by the Air Force or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) - to allow maintenance personnel to remove their masks when working outside in the hot desert, and to become the first Air Force deployed commander in the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) to reopen the gyms. When airmen who were forced by then-Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to get COVID vaccinations brought up concerns of myocarditis and fertility issues, Sage voiced them to the Air Force’s medical “experts” who told him that the jab was 100 percent safe. A complainant on base reported Sage’s aforementioned actions to an Air Force Inspector General (IG) investigator back in Washington, D.C.,...
