The defense secretary described the vaccine requirement, which he lifted in April, as an “absurd, overreaching” mandate.
A major flu outbreak has sickened nearly 160 troops at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas less than two months after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that U.S. troops would no longer be required to be vaccinated for the flu, defense officials said.
The outbreak at the base in San Antonio raced through an Air Force Basic Military Training wing, where new recruits sleep on bunk beds in open bays and share meals at large communal tables.
A trainee in his sixth week of basic training died after falling ill on Friday and being taken to Brooke Army Medical Center, the Air Force said in a news release. It was not immediately clear whether the death of the trainee, Keon McDaniel, was related to the flu outbreak.
This is why you don’t put a fox news host in charge of the military
Ok, you say that now but no one could’ve seen that having a talking head as the Secretary of War Crimes was a bad thing to do!!! No. One.
It’s never been tried before. It could’ve worked out tremendously!!!
It’s just like having an egotistical narcissistic pathological liar and failed reality TV star as a president. No one could’ve known it was a bad idea to do that…twice. (FUCKING TWICE???)
Hey, maybe the first term of incompetence and blatant corruption was just a blip, and the second term would go much more super tremendouslier than the first.
Other than Ronald Reagan then It’s not as if the american people had any knowledge that voting in famous idiots was a bad thing!!
(/s. Just in case)
