American service members will no longer be required to get a yearly flu shot under a new Defense Department policy described by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth as an effort to “restore freedom and strength to our joint force.”
Calling the Covid-19 vaccine mandate part of an “era of betrayal” that was now “over,” Hegseth said the Pentagon was discarding “absurd, overreaching mandates that only weaken our war fighting capabilities,” such as “the universal flu vaccine and the mandate behind it.”
What stage of imperial decline is this?
Theres a period in every basic training rotation where almost everyone in the barracks gets sick, usually happens around two-three weeks in, and there are always two or three guys who are straight up bed ridden and pass out risks
A day comes where one morning they have to bust out multiple vans to drive recruits to the base hospital or clinic. And this is a couple weeks after everyone has their shots, I can’t imagine the carnage that’s gonna hit some of these training rotations
Armies being a great place to start an outbreak has been a known thing since like…the first army ever more or less.
Didn’t the Spanish flu originated in some barrack in Kentucky before being brought to Europe with the American forces at the end of WW1?
