2banana, I totally agree. If this ships crew seriously think they should shut down an entire carrier group over COVID19, what will they do when facing a real threat?
If this was an enemy attacking, these men and women would do their jobs bravely. Look at conditions they proudly served in in Afghanistan and Iraq. They proved themselves.
But this isn't that. This is something their weapons and training don't cover.
If we can't protect the men and women who serve, then how could we expect them to fight the enemy?
If the ship's crew find out the upper ranks have 0% concern for their well being, what will they do when facing a real threat?
Would you prefer the U.S. be like the U.S.S.R in World War II. As an American, I say no way.
