Cadets in the Air Force Academy are being told they cannot graduate and have to repay tuition costs if they do not get the covid vaccine.
From WORLD. Cadet Nathan Suess was looking forward to graduating from the Air Force Academy. After four years of intense academics, physical fitness, and military training, he would be a commissioned officer able to serve his country — just like his parents, Matt and Dana Suess. On May 11, that dream was put in jeopardy, as he and several other senior cadets were issued letters of reprimand over their refusal to obey an order directing them to take a COVID-19 vaccine.

Like all airmen, cadets are subject to an Air Force vaccine mandate issued last year. Nathan and the other cadets objected to the vaccines for religious reasons. In his request filed in November 2021, the first class cadet listed two religious objections: the use of aborted fetal cell lines in the development of the vaccines, and his unwillingness to participate in what he regarded as deceptions and untruths associated with the efficacy of the vaccine.
Three days before Christmas, Nathan’s request was denied. His superior officer cited the “compelling governmental interest of mission accomplishment, including military readiness, unit cohesion, good order and discipline, and the health and safety of all cadets.” A similar fate met his appeal, denied in a Feb. 23 memorandum. It asked Nathan to check one of two boxes: one indicating he would begin a vaccine regimen, the other indicating he would resign….
More than 200 of the 4,000 Air Force Academy cadets submitted requests for religious accommodation, according to Dana Suess. No religious accommodations were granted. Ultimately, facing pressure, virtually all cadets agreed to accept the vaccine. Of the four remaining, one resigned to attend another graduate program, Dana Suess said. Another cadet being treated for cancer agreed to accept the vaccine in order to retain military healthcare benefits, The (Colorado Springs, Colo.) Gazette reported. That left Nathan and one other cadet as the holdouts.
Mike Rose, an attorney in Summerville, S.C., representing Nathan Suess and cadets from lower classes said the controversy came to a head last week. Cadets were called to a meeting with the academy’s superintendent and told they would not graduate if they did not take the vaccine. They were also told they would be thrown out of the military and have to repay approximately $165,000 in tuition costs. Nathan would also be required to stay in the military until Aug. 1, forcing him to reschedule a planned June wedding.
Rose said that given the impending May 25 graduation date, he anticipates filing a lawsuit challenging the Air Force’s actions within days. He said the challenge would be rooted in the discriminatory treatment of religious objectors in the military, where officials have routinely denied religious claims but granted thousands of medical and administrative exemptions….
Two federal judges have already issued orders temporarily putting a hold on the disciplining of service members who have declined vaccines on religious grounds….

It is totally Wrong to be forced to get the dangerous shot. Many scientists and doctors know what is in it and it all toxic!
I am continuing to pray for All who are mistakenly pushing it including all ministers of the Gospel.
Government of and by the people is Gone!
I am no longer praying for US government, but asking God for a way out of it in a peaceful and timely manner.
Inasmuch as these shots (they are NOT vaccines) are unconstitutional, WHY are we citizens not DEMANDING that Congress take action against the Department of Defense in not granting the religious exemptions. Our Department of Defense is no longer acting in the best interest of our country and our men and women in the military and legal action needs to be taken.
Father ..
Protect OUR Men & Women from this “INJUSTICE!”
JESUS Name Amen!
Father, I ask that you would intervene on behalf of these young men. May they be allowed to graduate and serve with honors. May the Lord about the vaccines be revealed and may these young men be protected.
Jesus, we pray that every plan to implement global control, including the plans of the World Health Organization, would be frustrated, destroyed, and come to nothing. Preserve and reinstate all of our freedoms, in every nation, island, country, etc. worldwide
Father, we tear down this evil alter of vaccine mandates that usurp the religious freedoms of our brave servicemen and women. We declare your justice and ask that you would be their Advocate. Overturn these rulings. IJN.
Satan is running the military., Satan is running our federal government, Satan is running our Healthcare System, are hospitals an emergency care Systems, Satan is running our schools, Satan is running our arts media and entertainment, and Satan is running our churches.. we cannot appeal to Satan.. But we must appeal to heaven period.
If the Lord does not build the house-,the Builder labors in vain.
Once a person..or group-, has decided to allow their thinking to be reprogrammed-,.. especially in view of-, areprogrammed thinking.. that is not connected in any way to a Godly Foundation-, but rather that flaunts evil in the face of that same Foundation.. these weary conversations are moot in the face of a bronze hardened devil’s heart. The idea of trying to rationalize or appeal to those who stand with the hater of our souls.. that being Satan.. is only an exercise in futility. The fact that an entire Institution that is sold out- that being the leadership in the military-,should be the indicator that the approach to this, the stand against this, needs to be completely re-engineered.
It is one thing for a soldier to dedicate their life in obedience to serving their country-, and The Lord..and in that, giving their life or laying their life down. It is another thing entirely to submit to being injected with poison and dying for no reason.. a torturous death which does not Institute Freedom.. Does not act as a service of guaranteeing freedom.. And is completely meaningless and useless.
These young men and women should not be required to do this- and the only way around it is to find another career.
As tragic as that is.. Human life is worth saving-.. if the soldier is not going to be in service to their country- as healthy and voluntary service men and women.. but rather subjected to being tortured as slaves.
The only way that the leadership of the military is going to change their minds-, is if God intervenes.
The only prayer worth praying is-,..
Lord God Almighty if you will change the hearts and minds of the military leadership that has been taken over by satanic globalist forces-, then our young men and women can fulfill their careers in glorious service to their country.. Otherwise Lord-, if you do not- then Satan is running the show and these men and women are being tortured to death and dying needlessly.
We will continue to pray that you will deliver our military and it’s young men and women who are dedicated heroes..from this godless satanic torment- in the meantime we hope you will relent from this punishment.. have mercy on these cherished young men and women, and if any Mercy is still available in this life from you Lord ..in any way- please immediately depart from this ridiculous concert of foolishness in which we try to talk sense into Satan’s minions who are now the military leadership- who are dedicated to killing all of our children and all of our young men and women- in the service.. and have no intention in confessing the truth that our young men and women are being poisoned.. and let them realize that it is not only realistic and approved of but a much better idea to take their training and skills into another field where they can be retrained into a life of fulfillment and joy in serving you elsewhere.. Let all of our young men and women immediately depart from any branch of the service and stop this foolishness. It is not worth them sacrificing their lives for nothing in the face of a lie that nobody will admit.
In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen
Please Lord God…these mandates are unconstitutional and therefore should be null and void. Please help all these people in our country that choose not to be vaccinated to get the legal help they need to correct the injustices at the hands of our tyrannical government in the name of Jesus. Amen
If the U.S. citizens cannot find an effective way to network and act effectively to convince the attorneys general and judicial system of every state in this nation, we as a sovereign country will have given up our freedoms and safety forever!!! Extremely strong prayers and fasting are needed because we have already lost a lot of our freedom. The New World Order will only get worse as citizens will be spied on and forced to surrender our liberties.
I pray for our military will have the freedom to choose not to vaccinate.
Our military should be honored and defended.
