The Supreme Court is giving the Navy a freer hand determining what job assignments it gives to 35 sailors who sued after refusing on religious grounds to comply with an order to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
The high court in a brief order Friday sided with the Biden administration and said that while the lawsuit plays out, the Navy may consider the sailors’ vaccination status in making deployment, assignment and other operational decisions. The group that sued includes mostly Navy SEALs.

I have a hard time contemplating a military where you can't be deployed because of some of your "beliefs" about being vaccinated. Did I want some of those vaccinations the military made me get, heck no but they were necessary to be able to do my job any place in the world at any time! Don't like it, get out, don't whine and sue.

How does this constitute a win? If I understand this decision, the Navy can limit the deployment of 35 of the most critical of our military.
