While there are now avenues for some service members to be reinstated, few have expressed interest when compared to the tens of thousands no longer serving.<\/p>\n<p>After examining the COVID-19 reinstatement process for service members affected by the now-rescinded shot mandate, Stuart Scheller took to social media to share his observations. Scheller currently serves as Senior Adviser to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This week I examined the COVID-19 reinstatement process.

Time to move forward.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On July 28, J.M. Phelps reached out to Scheller, offering him the opportunity to clarify his comments. A public statement has not been returned.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Moments ago, I sent a letter directly to Mr. Stuart Scheller.

Because commanders are responsible for what their units achieve or fail to achieve, they must be held to account for both successes and failures,\u201d Miller added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy absolving commanders of accountability, Parlatore is also diminishing command responsibility.\u201d And according to Miller, \u201cThis not only weakens the role of the commander but also violates the principle that responsibility cannot be delegated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJAGs are highly educated and specially credentialed, and their legal advice is crucial, but their role remains that of an advisor,\u201d Miller shared. \u201cUltimate responsibility for command decisions\u2014including the lawfulness of their orders\u2014remains with the commanders.\u201d After all, \u201cCommanders decide, lawyers advise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why should all this be a priority for the Defense Department?
