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?
Can you have it in your heart that others in the US military depend on the combat power of that aircraft carrier and its mission to protect their very lives?
And that the world can change overnight?
I have utmost respect for most in the military but not all. Not every active duty members deserve respect simply because they wear the uniform. As in all jobs, some are there simply for the $ and seek to do the bare minimum to earn it. It’s rather simplistic to say everyone in the military is somehow honorable no matter how they serve.
Regarding this virus, the active duty IS trained to operate in a biological attack. Plus, the concept of chain of command is something that is pounded into every service member’s head from day one. Got a problem? Work it through your chain of command. Don’t air dirty laundry to a media that is clearly out to sensationalize and frame every revelation in a way to best tear this country apart!
