"It's An Ideological Purge" A lawyer suing on behalf of nearly three dozen Naval Special Warfare personnel — including 26 SEALs — said the Pentagon’s refusal to grant even one religious exemption to its COVID-19 vaccine mandate threw doubt on the department’s real agenda. “It’s a purge,” Michael Berry, the lawyer for the Special Warfare personnel and a Marine Reservist, said. “It’s an ideological purge.” Weeks after the vaccine deadlines for four of the five military branches, none have said they’ve granted a single request for religious accommodations to forgo the treatment. At least 16,000 members of the Air Force, Navy, and Marines have filed requests, while the Army has not reported the total number of requests filed.
