Not to mention, their decisions can affect people and organizations other than themselves…

I think that the Navy has a right to know the basis of the religious exemption.

Yes, Chaplains have to deploy just like everyone else to situations where their may be very little medical staff.

WW

No more chilling then any other requirements that military members have to maintain to remain deployable.

I personally believe that “religious exemption” has been abused for this particular vaccine. It’s a convenient loophole that I think people are trying to exploit.

It will diminish the real meaning of a religious exemption moving forward.

Agreed.

If someone has been taking vaccines (and used other common medicines - both over the counter and prescription) and suddenly it is THIS vaccine they object to, well that says the objection isn’t religious its THIS vaccine.

Military have no freedom. Lol

They follow orders from POTUS.

Allan

Military Chaplin subject to the same orders as everyone else.

Allan

it’s hard to take your posts seriously when you inject “lol” all the time as though everything’s a flippant joke to you. but anyway…

they have the option to take exemption. this guy did but was denied at the highest levels.

for purely political reasons.

I want my military to follow lawful orders.

He tried the religious exemption route and was denied

End of story.

Alla

He must follow lawful orders. End of story.

Allan

he did

This is false and really overstated to make it fit on a bumper sticker.

It’s not that the military have no freedoms, its that the special nature of the military has been recognized by the SCOTUS as having situations where the restriction of freedoms in the military is warranted that wouldn’t fly in the civilian world.

WW

It’s pretty funny when you put military and freedom in the same sentence. It’s an oxymoron.

There is no freedom in the armed forces.

You follow lawful orders. And getting all kinds of vaxx is an order.

This statement is false.

Individuals have the option to request the exemption, the military is not required to approve it.

The choice to approve is the military’s, not the individuals.

WW

oh baloney

“taking” exemption is “requesting” it. seriously?

no one said otherwise

their decision was arbitrary

you know…

you can just reply in the thread with quoting yourself
