[Excerpt] So far, there have been 95 military deaths from coronavirus, with 412,766 who have had it and recovered, according to DOD statistics.
Mike Berry, a Marine reservist and general counsel for First Liberty, who is representing service members seeking religious exemptions, said in a statement to Breitbart News:
Losing nearly 270,000 troops would devastate our military. That’s more than twice as many U.S. troops than died during World War I from all causes, and almost as many as died in combat during World War II. Our adversaries are probably delighted to see the Pentagon eliminate more troops than they ever could.
Religious accommodation requests have only been granted for troops who were already leaving the military, according to Berry.
When was the last time the U.S. needed 270,000 soldiers for ANY military campaign?
As another Freeper astutely noted recently … every military campaign the U.S. has waged since the Korean War has been fought against an enemy wearing sandals on the battlefield.
