It would. Historically, disease has been a huge problem for militaries. That's why they give you like a dozen vaccines on day one.

As is tradition. The Spanish flu was the American flu.

Within days of the 4 March case at Camp Funston, 522 men at the camp had reported sick.[107] By 11 March 1918, the virus had reached Queens, New York.[108] Failure to take preventive measures in March/April was later criticized.[109]

As the U.S. had entered World War I, the disease quickly spread from Camp Funston, a major training ground for troops of the American Expeditionary Forces, to other U.S. Army camps and Europe, becoming an epidemic in the Midwest, East Coast, and French ports by April 1918

This approach is how the Spanish flu spread worldwide. US troops took it from Kansas to Europe and then 50 million people died. But I wouldn’t expect Kegbreath to know any history.

With full healthy meals im sure they will have the immune system required.

It's not incompetence, it's malice.

It would be if it wasn’t exactly what I have come to expect.

Wellllll lol

But trump replaced the top brass with sycophants.

So:

1. dont sit on any cushions at the VP's house.

2. dont touch anything at SecDef's

3. and do not inhale at what is left of the White House

"George Washington? The peanut butter guy?" -- Hegseth

One thing I think is going on is an unstated fascist eugenics project, where instead of helping people live they try to set up conditions where many will die. The white supremacists in charge believe that they can filter out the weak and inferior through disease, starvation, and other adverse conditions, leaving behind only the glorious genetically superior white Übermenschen like, er, Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller and RFK Jr. There is Nazi thinking behind much of what they do.

Doing this to your own armies in the middle of a war seems clearly stupid, but then so do white supremacist eugenics and starting a war with Iran.

We have to assume that it is focus group tested. So they are likely doing it because they believe it will win votes.

Is IQ of Americans really dropped that low

it was never that high.

The right realized that if they "yes and" the crazies their base and the crazies adopt each other's beliefs pretty easily so long as it's sold adversarially and with anti elitist tone. So yeah now a significant chunk of Americans are feels over reals about shit like medicine

Stupidity kills more people than bombs.

In the 70s, a paper appeared that linked DDT to reduced bird populations, triggering the US Nixon government to ban DDT. The data was 100% faked by Rachel Carson.

As a result of banning DDT, and estimated 100 million people died worldwide until DDT was brought back in 2000. Carson was given all kinds of awards, accolades and a bronze statue at Wood's Hole. To this day, people supported her "science".

Shit governments listening to shit fake scientists have killed more people than Hitler and Stalin combined.

The whole point of vaccinated army is to be the last level of support in the next flu pandemic.

and likewise covid will also run rampant too,
