Navy Seals Seeking Vax Exemption Facing Intimidation and Harassment

[igs]

Aren't these the "troops defending our freedom" yet they can't even defend their own freedom???

Communists sure have some moxie.... damn. Patriots are recruiting if they desire a job where anything Covid is non-sequitur to the mission. The Republic needs them.

[B.J.F.]

Laughable….. any sign on bonus they received has already been paid out. Mine was paid out over my 5 years. Mine was 40k. As for training costs, it will be written off as a loss when they are separated from service. If they are separated.

Unless they do something bad, they won’t be separated. They might get an article 15 for refusal but cost of training is far to great to waste on saying goodbye. They can’t be easily replaced. Even at my fittest I could never see myself being able to do what they do. Attrition rate is extremely high and for good reason

These operators will rain from Black helicopters on the Capitol. Round up the imposters in the WH. Place them in shackles.

Escort President Trump back to the oval office.

It takes a lot of moxie to have murdered as many people as communism has murdered. They're just smarter about it now. You don't tell a group of people "I'm going to steal everything from you and then starve you to death or shoot you or chop you're head off." There's a risk of an uprising. No, you get the people to hate and fight each other while your plan is carried out slowly so there's little to no risk to the commie elites. The more demoralized and distracted the citizenry the better.

I know they have retained legal counsel. I have a buddy who is part of the legal mess.

best wishes for them.

A lot of SEALs will refuse to get the shot no matter what happens.

It would be nice if the SEALS used that training to go after "all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC".

[DaveInOroValley]

I heard these were the replacements:

[Deadon]

This is something. First it was get the shot or you're done. So a ton of the military said ok I'm done. Then it's well it will now be a dishonorable discharge. Ok I'm done. Then it's you won't he able to own firearms! Ok we're still done. Now it's you're going to he charged.

Seriously the government is playing themselves.

Vaccine mandate is a way to purge the military of anyone who has religious convictions. They used fetal material to create the vaccine.

The notion that someone is trying to intimidate a Navy Seal is pretty hilarious. Add to this that they are being threatened with having to repay the cost of their training.

It's almost as if these idiots have absolutely no clue how little they pay these guys. Where exactly do they think a Seal is going to get the money to repay millions of dollars worth of training.

That's the issue here. They can sue them, and while it may ruin their credit it isn't going anywhere. You can't get money from someone who doesn't have it. A good lawyer knows that, but most of those employed by the government aren't good lawyers and the few who are most typically are political hacks.

The BIG question is why does it cost millions of dollars to teach them to balance that ball on their nose? I suspect that the government is inflating the cost estimate here.

...don't assume that all of those former SpecOps types WON'T. There's a reason that Matthew Bracken writes all of those novels about precisely such a thing. SpecOps guys tend to be a very independent-minded group. Most are highly supportive of their oath to defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic, and they have the training to do so, especially if it becomes an "asymmetric" conflict.

These are the guys that the government REALLY doesn't want to piss off, yet here we are. It's almost as if they are trying to light off a hot civil war.

Government is getting desperate with the noncompliance. If it really was "safe and effective" you wouldn't need these tactics.

Agreed. Many progressives ask the strawman argument, "What if it was air-born Ebola?" If it was something that serious, people would be climbing over each other to get the shots. The issue is that it is decidedly NOT "air-born Ebola", so there are concerns about the side effects of the vaccine-not to mention the efficacy. We may have a vaccine that does little for most patients, but causes significant issues for some.

The problem with these increasingly strident demands is that they will push someone too far. The country is already "on edge" and each of these mandates pushes us closer to the abyss. I am actually quite surprised that the American people have held themselves in check this long. If you look at history, things rarely happen all at once. Even our own revolution (more of a civil war) wasn't an overnight issue, it was piling issue upon issue. It is only once we reach that "point too far" that things seem to suddenly snap.

I'm not saying that the Dems are trying to get people to snap, but if they were what would they be doing that is any different from now?

Yep, if we were facing airborne ebola there would be no mandates and few government restrictions. The people would have self locked down whenever cases appeared in their area. The people would be clambering for a vaccine or treatments.
