I just don't think that's feasible.

Washington is just swimming with unfeasible solutions these days.

Didn't stop you guys in the Summer of '09 when I was Air Force BMT.

I contracted the Swine Flu there.

You want to how the Military handled that? I went to sick call, they gave me some Motrin, a kiss on the head and told me to quick screwing around and get hell back to my frickin' flight!

What about army bases? Send them all home too? How about just quarantining the sick, feeble 70+year old sailors instead?

America needs to come to grips that we’ve been attacked

And the Navy sounds like it wants to run away.

We handled the Pearl Harbor situation a little differently.

How about just dropping some tests off for the ships?

How vulnerable do you think ships were of getting sunk during WWII?

War is hell. And maybe we are continually at “war” with our “enemies.” It never ends.

Thank God for our leadership and soldiers who are brave in spite when it gets scary and dangerous.

One wonders if these bureaucrats have ever considered that the Nayv may need to fight a war someday?

Just think how many lives could have been saved if we hadn’t started that reckless, dangerous Revolutionary War against the British.

Has anyone bothered to ask him why he is the “former” Navy Sec, and why anyone should care what he thinks???

Yet, he feels comfortable enough to say this. Unbelievable.

Maybe the US needs a swift kick in the arse to remind us if what we take for granted is indeed important. Maybe we have had it too easy for too long.

“I’m not sure when, but America needs to come to grips that we’ve been attacked (intentionally or inadvertently) by a weapons grade virus created in a lab in Wuhan, China.”

Then we need to make the bastards pay dearly for it.

yes, tests and meds... these should be the youngest, healthiest people in America. Herd immunity would be good for the military.

if this a war instigated by the Chinese then they have won.

Huh? Won?

You're not French, are you?

We're all French, at least those of us living in Blue states, we have been ordered to surrender.

With this leadership, hell yes or soldiers will be running for shelter and our basements in lock down with the rest of us.

We need to grow a pair.

He can and likely will be made uncomfortable to talk like this. He is naive if he thinks there will be no repercussions for this.
