Unvaccinated soldiers are unfit to serve.

Hegseth is unfit to lead.

I think it increases your likelihood of getting sick, which means it increases your chances of being unfit to serve.

But there's no inherent unfitness associated with it, ie it doesn't make one any less of a soldier/marine/sailor/airman.

It's just short sighted stupidity for someone who is too stupid to be anything but reactionary.

Curious ... There are 24,000 troops at Lackland, or 0.6% caught the flu ..... how is this "major"? Its less than the general population which is around 5-20%..

Of course, this f*&^ing idiot opens his mouth without an ounce of knowledge behind it.

Do those 24,000 troops live in one large building with one exposure exposing them all? No, it doesn't, dumbf*&^.

But I supposed you're too stupid to notice that the cases are localized in a single wing of recruits. Why? Because one of them had it and exposed the rest of them in common areas and sleeping quarters where it effectively spread.

Why would the Air Force bother to reinstate a CONTROVERSIAL policy even "temporarily" if it did not affect military readiness?

Because base brass are smarter than the drunk idiot leading them?
