Anti-constitutional values are ‘eroding morale and it’s eroding our military’
By J.M. Phelps – WND
In 2020, Samuel Sell successfully fulfilled the requirements of Wright State University’s Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program in Ohio to become a commissioned officer in the U.S. Air Force. Shortly after, he was selected to participate in an experimental pilot training group at Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. But the prestigious opportunity would soon be pulled from under his feet, and he would be detained, handcuffed and facing court-martial – because of his Christian beliefs.
What happened? When Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s now-rescinded 2021 COVID-19 military vaccine mandate began to roll out, the young lieutenant refused to consent to any unapproved product with only an Emergency Use Authorization, while also requesting a religious accommodation as a Christian. Only EUA products were being offered, and nearly all requests for religious accommodation were being denied across all branches of military service.
Even before the mandate, Sell shared his views with classmates that the vaccine wasn’t necessary for those who had acquired natural immunity after recovering from COVID-19 – “natural immunity” being one of the most fundamental and universally recognized realities of Immunology.
