Based 'cause it means fewer soldiers will be able to fight.

Cringe 'cause it's fucking stupid and everyone who physically can should get the flu shot.

Would be interesting to know percentage of them only get the Flu shot because it was required vs those that already get it even if they weren't military.

So in the event of a flu outbreak the drunk asshole in charge of the "Department of War" will be just fine with ~20% of solders bedridden and the loss of additional staff needed to care for them.

It should be no surprise that those willing to swear fealty to Trump are absolute morons.

Learned today that he never washes his hands doesn't believe in germs. Probably doesn't shower either.

Critical support for trying to ensure that long covid burns through the US military as much as possible.

It's scary that I, a housewife, know more about war than the "secretary of war". It's like they're trying to get as many men killed as possible.

It's probably too expensive now that they have all those colonoscopy procedures to do.

Are they looking for their heads?
