WASHINGTON, D.C. - In what experts are calling a bold move blending bureaucratic bravado with kindergarten chic, over 200 active and retired service members have signed an open letter, titled 'Declaration of Military Accountability,' in the universally beloved font Comic Sans.
The letter, which demands accountability from the Department of Defense for enforcing the COVID-19 vaccine mandate on service members, has been described by many as "a visual assault on seriousness," and "the typographical equivalent of a clown car." The mandate led to the vaccination of approximately 98 percent of active-duty troops and the exit of nearly 8,400 vaccine objectors, but was dropped earlier this year after creating a myriad of controversies.
In an exclusive interview with Duffel Blog, conducted as he sipped from a 'Look at Me' mug, Brad Miller, the former Army officer who organized the writing and signing of the letter said, "We wanted to make a statement that couldn't be ignored. What better way than using the font usually reserved for bake sale flyers and lost cat posters?”. Asked for comment, a Department of Defense spokesperson texted both facepalm and eyeroll emojis in response.
“Hey hon, I think we got another invite to the kid’s talent show.”
