An Air Force Reserve officer has filed a discrimination complaint against the military's COVID-19 inoculation requirement, alleging she was fired from her job in the service chief's diversity office for seeking a religious exemption to the vaccine mandate.
Lt. Col. Brandi King told Just the News that over a period of weeks her superiors badgered her about whether she would seek a religious exemption, urged her not to do so, and even suggested she'd lose her prestigious assignment in the Air Force Chief of Staff's new diversity program if she followed through with an exemption request.

Perhaps the only case I won't feel sympathy about...
You shouldn’t have to ask for an exemption. Period.
I agree, but personally, I have no problem with attacking these things on every level ranging from religious exemption to forging documentation or hacking computer systems that keep records on vaccinations.
There have been some articles lately saying people shouldn’t do these things, that they should quit their jobs to make a statement. That sounds fine, but millions of people unable to pay their bills is going to hurt them, not the Leftists and their allies pushing mandates and such, so I disagree with that mindset.
Marine Addresses Vaccine Mandates and Provides Documents Showing It’s Unconstitutional
After this afternoon’s article from a Navy Officer who is challenging the COVID-19 vaccine mandate in the military, a US Marine Officer sent us information he had gathered on the issue.
This afternoon we reported on a Navy Officer’s information showing the COVID-19 vaccine mandate is not legal. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/11/marine-addresses-vaccine-mandates-provides-documents-showing-unconstitutional/
This is one case where I am fully on board with eschewing any legal or medical exemptions, and quitting a job or forcing a firing to make a political point.
In this case, it would be in everyone's best interests.
Although I’m religious and also very opposed to mandates, I don’t like the idea of a religious exemption. Firstly because a person should not to be religious to object to the mandate. Plenty of great secular reasons exist. . And secondly it opens the door to government evaluation of our religious convictions, and in a few steps may lead to regulating them.
“and even suggested she’d lose her prestigious assignment in the Air Force Chief of Staff’s new diversity program if she followed through with an exemption request.“
That is “prestigious“ in the USAF..
I believe you have a valid point. Why give government any opportunity to be judge and jury. We the people are supreme, not those who wanna be.
“...even suggested she’d lose her prestigious assignment in the Air Force Chief of Staff’s new diversity program if she followed through with an exemption request.”
It won’t go into the books this way. This is the military. They play by different rules that the member signs a contract to be on the team using and follow. The military is not interested in your personal needs. They are interested in the mission and what it takes to get it there. The people are a part of the machine and if they are not greased and ready to go, there is punishment already on the books to be irrigated if that is the fault of the person.
By refusing to take the shot, which she now has to do if she is to save face and honor the respect of her subordinates, she will be violating numerous articles under the UCMJ. This is not to mention her needs to be safe beyond those of other peers being unprotected from severe illness and being a greater risk to herself if she catches the virus that will cost the military additional money and a slot. She’d be better off resigning her commission rather than face the future possibilities she will be handed.

I had no idea the Air Force has a Diversity Office.
Do we have an Office of Enemy Death?
I vote that the Diversity Office be defunded until we have a fully funded Enemy Death Office.
Think about this, if what is reported as of 29OCT2021 is that FDA now says that Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 and COMIRNATY vaccines ARE NOT IDENTICALLY FORMULATED and are only analytically comparable, does this mean that Poopy Pants’ EO is an Unlawful Order and INVALID????? Does this kill OSHA power grab? My bet is that Poopy Pants ignores this and DOES NOT update EO Mandate.
Excellent point.
Thee we cominarty approval was simply a tactic to justify forcing the administration of the experimental/unapproved/EUA vaccines.
If not, then why not re-sticker the vials with cominarty? Because they don’t want to - imo based on legal jeopardy and disclosure requirements such as side effects and risks.
Let’s go Brandon!
Yep

Totally agree.
