This is news is breaking as I type this post. In this article, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said, “We take freedom of religion and worship seriously in the military. It’s one of the things that we sign up to defend,” Kirby said. “And so it’s something that’s done very carefully.”

Given the uncertainties and anxiety associated with all of the talk of vaccine mandates, this is important an important development, and it may be useful to anyone facing a similar situation.

Score one for religious freedom.
