In a groundbreaking development, three lawsuits with the potential for a class action suit are being filed on behalf of former United States service members. The service members, represented by attorneys Dale Saran, Andy Meyer, and Brandon Johnson, allege they were unjustly discharged or prevented from drilling, causing significant financial loss, as a result of the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate policies.
According to Breitbart, the lawsuits, which are currently in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, could involve backpay claims totaling billions of dollars.
Saran, a retired Marine, emphasized the massive scale of the compensation, telling Breitbart, “It’s worth billions. That’s just flat-out. That’s what it is in backpay. It’s billions of dollars.” This statement underscores the potential magnitude of the lawsuit’s financial implications for the Department of Defense.
The court, with its roots in the Reconstruction Era, is known for handling cases of illegal discharge and pay-related grievances in the military. Saran explained its unique role, saying that the Court of Claims is where service members can go when they have a claim and say, “Hey, I was illegally discharged, or the military did something to impede my pay.”
According to Breitbart, the lawsuits allege that 80,000 to 100,000 service members, including both active-duty personnel and reservists, were impacted by the Biden administration’s actions. Saran detailed the lack of due process in the cases, noting, “They were basically [without] the benefit of any due process. No boards were held. They didn’t hold any administrative separation boards; they didn’t hold any hearings. They didn’t do any federal recognition boards; none of the administrative or judicial procedures were used. They just flat-out did it.” …

The boyz in the Pentagon screwed up apologizing and begging on their hands and knees for those people to come back. This is going to cost the U.S. taxpayers dearly. ROTFL. What do y’all think of the job Pedo Joe has done so far?
He’s done GREAT!
...for the WEF and Chy-na.
Billions.
If every member got $100,000, it would cost between $8 billion to $10 billion.
Military ping.
Better spent on them than on Zelensky.
After this trial settles, the remaining members of the military who were strong-armed into getting the shot should sue for mental anguish compensation.
...and what are the dead ones gonna sue for?
Absolutely 💯%
I’d much rather the money go to our deserving troops than to the sleazy oligarchs in Ukraine.
What pisses me off about this is why we ALL have to pay when the Democrats are the culprits.
These guys were screwed over and justly deserve compensation.
But take it out of the Democrats butts!
Not Mine!
I suggest taking monies from Education, HUD, DOJ, and Commerce eg to pay the bill.
I can live with that.
Well. We already have a sunk cost worth BILLIONS of dollars paid out to the Ukraine. I say take whatever they’re planning on giving out again is to pay out the settlement to the ones where we really had an interest in.
Name one thing this gooberment has done that made things better or cost less. I'll wait for an answer.
A government by the consent of the governed. The governed are all fools for putting up with it. I can offer nothing for it but bitter contempt.
As a covid vax recusant myself, I would love to see this lawsuit succeed... and I’d love to see our military people who resisted (or were bullied into vax) take the powers that be to the cleaners. BUT I can kind of see SCOTUS ruling that the POTUS’s constitutional “commander in chief” status can’t be 2nd-guessed by the courts. In other words, the President’s orders to the military, no matter how absurd or irrational aren’t the court’s business. I hate that result, but can I imagine it finding favor with the court’s majority? Yes, I can.
Take it from the Zelensky piggybank fund.
He doesn’t need our money, we do.
The screw up wasn’t asking for them to return—it was making them get a shot or get out. Payback is hell as we used to say in the military.
If proven, their families can sue for damages and wrongful death. Civil suits also have a lower threshold of certain kinds of proof.
