A problem with not having the troops vaccinated is that there ae many countries that will not allow unvaccinated people past the border. Unvaccinated travelers arriving from Armenia, Azerbaijan, [...] United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, most of central America, or the United States must present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result conducted within 72 hours prior to travel. It would put a huge cost on the US government to secure those tests and places the troop on a non-worldwide status.

Nice equivocation there, whitney69!

"Troops" are treated differently than mere "people" or "travellers." Different rules apply.

“Different rules apply.”

As a whole, troops are sent in to accomplish a couple of things not just an attack. Such things as support for the ally we are entering with an intimidating show, secondly to place a foothold of a location to muster an action if needed, and thirdly to actually engage.

So most of what we go in for is not to fight, but to assist. And unless there is all out combat where are going into, the fear of this illness has put a lot of new rules for us to abide by. Just playing the game. But those new rules can sometimes step on old ones.
