America is one sick country.

So, the religion the Navy Seals in question follow feels it's alright to kill people which is part of their job if need be but not prevent illness or death? This is the same GOP Go-To judge who wanted to gut Obamacare. See you in appeals.

since when in the military are we allowed to deny any shots given to us? it's been 30yrs since I served, but when did they change the rules? I can't imagine telling them I don't want a shot that they required to go overseas.. or imagine in basic training asking 'what's that shot'

Compare this to the 100 or so ex-marines that were just discharged.

'O'Connor has become a 'go-to' favorite for conservative lawyers, as he tends to reliably rule against Democratic policies'

They're against modifying ones body but I bet they 1. Workout and 2. Have modified bodies with rounds

I find it hard to believe that those 35 Seals don't have any tattoos or other 'body modifications'.

Yes your honor I have no issue droning people but the one more vaccine the military wants to give me crosses the line!

I can’t believe this asinine judge is doing this. I got so many vaccines when I was in the military that I lost count. How is the military supposed to maintain good order and discipline with this BS?

35 Navy Seals who are utterly unfit to serve.

Their religion was OK with the 15 or so other vaccinations they've had, but not covid vaccine.

One judge can over our Defense Department? Wow. That is power
