Tough one IMO.

Although the religious rights of enlisted are protected by the Constitution, a preliminary injunction against their Constitutional commanders’ current orders is a stretch.

The German soldiers who objected to exterminating Jews, gays, etc were probably told the same thing....”lawful orders by your constitutional commanders”....sure worked for them in their trials.

When I signed up for the Army, I didn’t sign up to have my religious beliefs violated. So no. A commander cannot force you to violate your religious convictions. This wouldn’t be an issue in a sane and rational world.
