Ok i will take the bait. Why do we care more about people including non americans on non us cruise ships than American sailors with the virus? Over 100 sick people on that Navy ship.
100 sailors sick? or 100 sailors testing positive?
And with most that test positive never actually developing any symptoms, and of those that do, most will only develop symptoms similar to the usual flu.
And since when do USN ships not have medical evacuation protocols in place?
And should our entire military be rendered non-op during every flu season?
Do people allow themselves to be bent over a bench and punked bloody every time someone plays on their heart-string?
Semper Fi.
We dont. This is the only type of story about the military you will see. Its nothing but a slam and cant be used for anything except a slam.
All the cruise ships are mainly bitching and getting press because they have been told they can not tie up and need to safely wait out the quarantine period at sea. I was held from tieing up, delayed, or re routed more times than I can count over 23 years in service and 7 of those at sea.
Aircraft carriers have fully staffed trauma centers open 24/7. I am sure their medical care is at least up to single payer standards.
National security, that’s why. He had ways to act within the rules and chose to break them because he was impatient. He didn’t understand his place in the chain of command.
