Hundreds of Navy SEALS are risking being blocked from deployment after failing to get vaccinated, according to a lawyer and pastor counseling them.
As reported by Just the News, the number of SEALS involved in the dispute with the Pentagon amounts to as many as a quarter or more of all active members, a loss that could impact military readiness.
Some SEALS were given a deadline to get 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,” R. Davis Younts, a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force reserves and a lawyer representing several of the operators, said.
“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 have 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 [the] vaccine mandate compliance deadline they have been given,” he continued.
Similarly, Pastor Jeff Durbin, who has been ministering to the special operators for weeks, said between a quarter to a third of all active-duty SEALS are involved in the dispute with the Pentagon, including some who already have COVID-19 immunity because they recovered from the disease.
“There are hundreds of Navy SEALs who have not been vaccinated, do not want to take the vaccine, or who have had and recovered from COVID and have the benefit of natural immunity,” Durbin told Just the News.
“A large number of SEALS that I am speaking on behalf of are facing the very difficult decision that even with a legitimate religious exemption that is based upon their commitments to Christ, the Gospel, God’s Law, and the Constitution, they will no longer be Navy SEALs.”
“They are essentially being asked to make a decision between their commitments to the lordship of Christ and their careers as Navy SEALs,” he continued.
“Our country should be very concerned about what this would do to military readiness. Losing hundreds of Navy SEALs because of their legitimate and sincerely held Christian beliefs could be devastating to us as a nation.”
[ZH: Fox News' Tucker Carlson commented on the situation last night: “To be clear, in case you’re wondering if this is in response to some kind of crisis: We don’t believe a single Navy SEAL has died of COVID. These are some of the healthiest people in the world, the Olympic athletes of the military. Many of them have had the virus and recovered, meaning they have more natural immunity than the vaccine could ever provide.”
“And yet, as of tonight, we’re hearing that hundreds of Navy SEALs face being fired imminently for refusing to take the shot,” Carlson further noted.
He continued, “Keep in mind there are only about 2,500 active-duty Navy SEALs, each of whom costs at least a half–million dollars to the U.S. government to train. Imagine the effect on our country’s military readiness. It’s horrifying. If you love the country, you would not do this. You would also not disable our hospitals by forcing our nurses to resign because they don’t want to take the shot.”]
Bite your nose to spite your face
Gee, ya mean they won’t have to be deployed overseas by a questionable administration and can just stay at home training and drinking beer?
America is in grave danger with the Joe Biden family.
I hope no one volunteers for the military. Make the Democrats re-instate the draft and we’ll see how unpopular that is going to be for them.
So the choice is: Get the fed.gov vax, and be allowed to put your life at risk for woke generals, bubble-dwelling stupid bureaucrats of globalist institutions, and a DC elite that otherwise hates you
Or not.
Yep, that’s looking like it’s that choice.
If I were a SEAL, I’d choose “Or Not”.
As much as I hate to lose my taxpayer investment into their training... I think it is time they retire and join the civilian workforce as security consultants, security forces trainers, etc. There are probably any number of small security outfits (sub 100 employees) that would love to have their expertise.
“America is in grave danger with the Joe Biden family”.
No, Biden is a stooge and puppet. They throw him some crumbs and he’s happy.
Biden’s Globalist Masters are the danger and they’re doing a good job of it.
Not only that but they can provide the leadership skills necessary for those small groups of resistance with the SHTF.
The SEALs should hunt down and neutralize whoever was the stupid bureaucrat WHO GAVE THE ORDER. He could have an “accident”.
The Pfentagon
Messing with our defenses any way they can
+ 100000000000000
My way or no way.
Comrade
Joe Biden
Sounds like something of the book "Term Limits", by Vince Flynn:
"What if America's leaders were held accountable for their broken promises -- and made to pay for their corruption?
Vince Flynn brings to life a chilling scenario of Washington under siege -- in the provocative, edge-of-your-seat political thriller that stormed onto national bestseller lists."
It's a good read.
Since the upper echelons of the Pentagon are traitors, and proudly telling the world about their treason, these guys should refuse the vax on principle so they won’t be deployed to serve under scum like that.
they are literally not at risk due to their age and physical condition
of course, if they allow themselves to be vaxxed there’s a very high probability of heart inflation that will compromise their readiness and ability to deploy in the future.
ivermectin works fine. Japanese health ministry released reports showing it’s impacts. massive. should be the common treatment in the US
That's beyond stupid. It's treason.
