Zero. They&#8217;ve approved zero. Is anyone surprised?<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifezette.com\/2021\/12\/u-s-military-has-not-granted-a-single-religious-exemption-for-covid-jab-despite-receiving-over-12000-requests\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lifezette<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Despite receiving over 12,000 requests for a religious exemption from the COVID-19 jab mandate, the U.S. military has yet to grant a single one.<\/p>\n<p>WTRF reported that even though the vast majority of armed forces have gotten their shots, the lack of approvals is still creating tensions in the military as time goes on. Troops who would like religious exemptions have been left puzzled as to why they are even given this option, when they are seemingly impossible to obtain.<\/p>\n<p>The military chaplains have found themselves caught in the middle, having to find the balance between being compassionate and offering guidance along with the need to explain a complicated process that is being shown to be futile in nature.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>While Air Force officials initially said that religious exemption requests would be answered within thirty days, they were shocked to find themselves flooded with 4,700 requests, far more than any of the other military services. The Marine Corps has received around 3,100 religious exemption requests, while the Navy has gotten about 2,700 and the Army has received about 1,700. While some of the requests that were rejected were appealed, there is not much data available on that at this time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poetrooper sends in this article reporting on the shocking number of religious exemptions to the COVID &hellip; <a title=\"Military Has Not Granted A Single Religious Exemption For COVID Jab Despite Receiving Over 12,000 Requests\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=121083\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Military Has Not Granted A Single Religious Exemption For COVID Jab Despite Receiving Over 12,000 Requests<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":664,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[220,237,484,169],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-121083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-floggings-will-continue-until-morale-improves","category-big-pentagon","category-covid-19","category-religion"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/664"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=121083"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121083\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":121084,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121083\/revisions\/121084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=121083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=121083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=121083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
