Brilliant! All those men and women living in close quarters, in extreme promiscuity, will be able to infect one another in a second! Praise be to the scientific genius of Pete Hegseth and his "warrior" ethos.

Absolutely insane management of our military. We have given in to anti-science idiocy over maintaining a strong fighting force. Hegseth is the most incompetent and malfeasant man to ever serve in this critical job. https://t.co/7C5flNgtLs

The excuse to be against the Covid vaccine is “it’s new and untested.” The excuse to be against childhood vaccines is “their brains are still developing.” There is no excuse to be against the flu vaccine. You’re just stupid https://t.co/RpoNBOvHzs
