Several hundred elite Navy SEALs are in danger of being blocked from deploying with their special operator teams by the Pentagon after failing to get a mandatory COVID vaccine, according to a lawyer and pastor counseling them.
The number involved in the dispute with the Pentagon amounts to as many as a quarter or more of all active duty SEALs, a loss that could impact military readiness since SEAL teams play an outsized role in modern military operations, their advocates told Just the News. Some SEALS were given a deadline this week for the vaccine and have sought a religious exemption.
"My clients include several Navy SEALs who are a small part of a large group of SEALs and other military members who are being asked to choose between their faith and their ability to serve our nation," said R. Davis Younts, a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force reserves and a JAG lawyer who is representing several of the special operators as a private lawyer. "They have been told that if they seek a religious accommodation, they likely will no longer be able to serve our country as Navy SEALs and been given an arbitrary deadline to comply with the vaccine mandate.
"My clients need time, and we are seeking at least a 90-day extension to vaccine mandate compliance deadline they have been given."
Younts said the Pentagon has put its threat in writing that unvaccinated SEALs, including those who get a religious exemption or already have natural immunity, will be forbidden from deploying with their teams, all but ending their special operator careers. Some were given a deadline of this week, he said.

It is not a vaccine anymore...there is. no reason for a healthy person to take it...
Gee, ya get shore duty?
OK cool.
This is so crazy it’s beyond insane....
You have to imagine this is going on everywhere in the military not just with Navy Seals...
I thought I read somewhere that a number of F-22 pilots are going thru the same thing...
God bless these men.
And damn the bastards forcing this.
Evil, just dripping evil. Hopefully they can be reinstated with a new administration. These leaders have been given over to a demonic mindset. Satan already knows his demise and wants to take as many with him as he can. Looks like he is getting close to his quota unless they turn around and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We all have choices.
Makes sense. You don’t want to have them give COVID to someone they’re sent to kill. Oh wait...
When you’re in the military the government owns you and can do anything to you. No way to fight this.
And the stupidity continues unabated... even with Xiden out ridig his bike,
On the upside they won’t be left behind on the battlefield by Gropey Joe.
I’d seriously consider retiring.
democrats have always hated the military because of their patriotism.
No way to fight it, unless it’s an unlawful order, contrary to good order and discipline.
Choice: Take the vax and be allowed to put your life at risk for woke generals, idiot bureaucrats, and a DC establishment that otherwise hates you.
Or don’t take the vax
Hmmmm
We can use them on the Patriot side.
They can just lower the standards for SEALs and replace them with women and trannies. Win/win from the ‘rat POV.
the civilian world is just as insane.
perhaps more so
so where do you retire?
"Vaccines, boosters and mandates are nonsense," said the chairman. He also pointed out, after 8 hours of testimony and data presentation, "The vaccine is killing significantly more people than it's saving."
Almost no one is willing to argue that point, and those that do are being shot down in court. What's a person to do? Increasingly, it seems the only way out of this mess is through to means no one wants to contemplate .....
Its a dilly of a pickle of a dilemma...
