Without Accountability, A Settled Court Case Does Little to Address the Failure of the Department of Defense

Last week, a decision was made to settle U.S. Navy SEALs 1-26 v. Biden in favor of service members who refused COVID-19 vaccine injections on the grounds of religious objection. Was the decision a win for the sailors?
Jordan Karr, an outspoken advocate for military accountability, who served in the Air Force as an intelligence officer for nine years, recently posted her thoughts on X:
This is NOT a win for the Navy Class. It is a SETTLEMENT.
The discharged navy members are STILL discharged. No reinstatement. No backpay. No promotion. No accountability.
Discharge upgrades would’ve happened regardless- it’s an easy appeal to the BCMR.
