The plaintiffs, represented by attorneys Dale Saran, Andy Meyer, and Brandon Johnson, claim they were unfairly discharged or barred from drilling, leading to substantial financial losses due to the Biden administration's vaccine mandate policies.
As reported by Breitbart, these lawsuits, currently in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, could result in backpay claims amounting to billions of dollars.

Saran, a retired Marine, underscored the enormity of the potential compensation, stating to Breitbart, “It’s worth billions. That’s just flat-out. That’s what it is in backpay. It’s billions of dollars.” This comment highlights the potential financial consequences of the lawsuit for the Department of Defense.

The court, established during the Reconstruction Era, is renowned for addressing cases related to illegal discharge and pay-related grievances within the military.
Saran elucidated its unique function, stating that the Court of Claims is the place where service members can present a claim and assert, “Hey, I was illegally discharged, or the military did something to impede my pay.”

Breitbart reports that the lawsuits allege that between 80,000 to 100,000 service members, encompassing both active-duty personnel and reservists, were affected by the Biden administration's actions.
Saran highlighted the absence of due process in these cases, noting, “They were basically [without] the benefit of any due process. No boards were held.

They didn’t hold any administrative separation boards; they didn’t hold any hearings. They didn’t do any federal recognition boards; none of the administrative or judicial procedures were used. They just flat-out did it.”
One case of note involves former Coast Guard member Zach Loesch, who was praised by President Joe Biden for his bravery during Hurricane Ian but was discharged for not complying with a vaccine mandate, as reported by Breitbart.

The claims also encompass the repayment of enlistment bonuses, further escalating the financial stakes. Saran stated, “Not only did they throw them out — unceremoniously [and] wrongfully — now they’re…without a job instantly, no separation pay, none of that.

And instead, they’re standing out in the cold, and worse yet, here comes the government…here comes the debt collectors. Now you owe us money.”
Saran drew parallels between the current situation involving service members adversely affected by the COVID-19 vaccine mandate policies and his previous experience defending service members who refused the Anthrax vaccine in the late 1990s.

“I did some work on the lawsuit Doe v. Rumsfeld that shut down the anthrax vaccine,” he said. “And so…here we are, second go around again, 15 years in, and we’re right back at the mass vaccination of unlicensed vaccines like the government didn’t learn last time.”
