Military Members from All 5 Branches File Class Action Lawsuit Against the Pentagon for Vaccine Mandates

by Kyle Becker

The Department of Defense is now facing a major class action lawsuit over its Covid vaccine mandate, which forces service members, employees, and contractors to get vaccinated or face disciplinary action or even termination.

The class action lawsuit was filed by the Liberty Counsel in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. It lists President Joe Biden, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as defendants.

“Plaintiffs are United States Armed Forces servicemembers, federal employees, and federal civilian contractors who face a deadline under the Federal COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate to receive a COVID-19 vaccine that violates their sincerely held religious beliefs, and have been refused any religious exemption or accommodation,” the lawsuit states. “United States Navy and United States Marine Corps servicemembers have until November 28 to become fully vaccinated. United States Army and United States Air Force servicemembers have until December 15. United States Coast Guard servicemembers have until November 22. And civilian federal employees and contractors have until November 22.”

It is now being reported that the NAVY is threatening to force SEALs to pay back the money spent on their training if they decline to be vaccinated for COVID.

We’ve reached a point of unprecedented overreach. This is not how we should be treating those who served this country.

Biden Admin Threatens To Make Unvaxx'd Navy SEALs Repay Their Training Costs

I can think of few better ways to ensure that fewer qualified people will apply to join the nation's most elite fighting unit than the policy just announced by the U.S. Navy's COVID Consolidated Disposition Authority.  It has issued a directive that, as Hank Berrien reports, threatens "removing them from special warfare, reducing their salaries, and forcing them to repay training."

    7.a. and 7.b.: The Vice Chief of Naval Operations retains authority for non-judicial punishment and courts-martial. Involuntary extension of enlistments is not authorized on the basis of administrative or disciplinary action for vaccination refusal.  The CCDA may seek recoupment of applicable bonuses, special and incentive pays, and the cost of training and education for service members refusing the vaccine.

Since training a SEAL is very expensive, this amounts to financial ruin for the heroes who undergo incredibly harsh training and who offer their lives to protect us. ... Zero Hedge
