The Supreme Court on Friday gave the Pentagon the go-ahead to consider whether some members of the elite Navy SEALs are vaccinated against COVID-19 when making operational decisions. With three justices noting dissents, the court temporarily blocked an order by a federal trial court that U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar said would commandeer “the Navy’s authority to decide which servicemembers should be deployed to execute some of the military’s most sensitive and dangerous missions.” The ruling came over the objection of a group of SEALs who oppose the Navy’s vaccination policy on religious grounds; the SEALs had argued that what the Navy really wants is “permission to engage in hostile tactics designed to coerce” the SEALs “into disregarding their religious beliefs.”
In August 2021, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced that all active-duty members of the military must be vaccinated against COVID-19. However, the Supreme Court’s ruling on Friday affects only the Navy’s ability to consider whether the SEALs and other members of the Naval Special Warfare Command are vaccinated when making personnel decisions – for example, about whom to deploy and where. The government had not asked the justices to allow it to enforce other aspects of its vaccine policies that the SEALs are challenging and a trial court in Texas had also blocked, such as allowing it to discipline or discharge unvaccinated servicemembers.

When will the Courts and the Military start to follow the Science?
I thought RATs hated people who killed seals....oh, that was the other kind of seals. Sorry
I suspect they will put them on a one way Chinook like Obama did with seal team six . Rebellion will not be tolerated by globalists
That is different from courts being able to prevent someone from being discharged or otherwise suffer a specific loss of rank or service time pay and benefits.
The DoD decides what medical protective posture is needed for overseas deployments. If they say the COVID or any other shot is required for deployment then that’s it. For example, I was was also ordered to take the PB pill in the GW even though it was an experimental drug and effed up a lot of people. A waiver can be given but the rules for protection of the force takes Precedence and the medical requirements of the country they are deploying to are also factored in. The law that says you cannot give experimental drugs to soldiers applies to CONUS/non-deployed service members.
So it is likely the Seals and the support staff not vaccinated are not going to deploy until the HPCON posture changes and the hard rule for taking the vaccine is lifted.
Nothing like castrating our armed forces eh.

If you are not allowed to debate it, it isn’t science!
Exactly right, because only an unvaxed SEAL can transmit covid... no, wait... only an unvaxed SEAL can catch covid... no, wait...
I know, it's because training an 'operator' is super expensive, and only an unvaxed SEAL can die from covid... no, wait...
You simply cannot have the courts getting involved in decisions regarding the assignment of military personnel. Far too many decisions in the military are time-critical, and giving courts the authority to insert themselves in those decisions would be a damn disaster.
So though I disagree with the military policy regarding assignment of unvaccinated personnel, I do agree that it must be the military's decision to make. Not the courts.

Too many seem to think that following orders is optional.
Well. That’s at least a few that won’t die fighting King Brandon and the Banana Republic’s wars.
And maybe a few that won’t turn the guns around on Americans for refusing government mandates.
Good old rapey boy Kavenaugh to the rescue again. What a dud. And after how hard conservatives fought for him.
The military members believe they are slaves, kneel like slaves.
They are not. They are humans with the rights.
The more that kneel to authoritarians the less I trust them. As a veteran with an active duty son, lost my son in law in Iraq before I could even meet the father of my grandchild, I can say that.
There go the Seals. They were an amazing force.
all over a virus that nearly every single military person, who are in great physical condition usually, would survive just fine. Gee what are the military gonna do with flue’s each year? Refuse to allow people to remain unvaccinated should they choose to be?
“So though I disagree with the military policy regarding assignment of unvaccinated personnel, I do agree that it must be the military’s decision to make. Not the courts.”
And when the treasonous military flag staff sides with the enemy, then what?
If we're at the point where all the flag officers are loyal to the enemy, then it isn't going to make a damn bit of difference who the courts put in charge of individual ships or units anyway.
The issue is basically competency, and courts would be simply horrible at deciding who should be in command of individual units, or who should be in each kind of unit, etc..
Okay, you’ve reasonably and successfully argued that the courts shouldn’t be involved in selecting convoy admirals and COs of combat divisions. What’s the proper solution to rid the military of Obuma’s woke weenies in command positions?
