The Pentagon's Acting Inspector General Sean O'Donnell dropped a bombshell on the Biden administration today.
You know all those religious exemptions the administration refused to grant?
Well, as it turns out, the IG says that may have been illegal.
Can't Do That
We all understand that when you join the military, you pretty much sign your life away to government orders.
The COVID vaccine was a different story, however.
This was a Gen1 vaccine for a virus that was really only dangerous to the elderly and those with underlying conditions.
I am not trying to downplay COVID… I have had it three times and I know what it does to people, but younger individuals in top shape really had nothing to fear.
Even so, our military was forced to take the vaccine or risk being booted out of the service.
While religious exemptions were taken, few if any were actually granted.
The DOD IG report stated, "The denial memorandums we reviewed generally did not reflect an individualized analysis, demonstrating that the Senior Military Official considered the full range of facts and circumstances relevant to the particular religious accommodation request."
The report goes on to say that the DOD is in "potential noncompliance" with the standards for reviewing such exemptions.
Of course, the DOD is saying that it did nothing wrong, but trhe IG also announced an audit is underway "to determine whether Military Departments are processing exemption requests for the COVID-19 vaccination and taking disciplinary actions for active duty Service members in accordance with Federal and DoD guidance."
I always said this would come back to get Biden, and it is.
The timing of this could not be worse for Biden, who had finally gotten some momentum, but inflation, this report, and the Afghanistan report are all hitting this administration hard.
