"More than 4,100 service members have tested positive for coronavirus since the July 1, according to the Defense Department’s latest statistics, a rise of about 33 percent in the last 10 days. That is more than twice the rate of growth nationwide during the same period, 16 percent, as the U.S. more than once broke its daily records for new cases.
....


At the time, the Air Force had just seen a 44-percent spike over the previous week. Since July 1, cases have jumped 55 percent, putting that service at 2,395 total cases since March.

Once boasting the lowest-per-capita infection rate among the services, the Air Force’s recent rise in cases has brought it more into proportion with the size of the service. The Marine Corps, too, which had infections in the hundreds well into June, saw a 41-percent increase in its cases since July 1, for a current total of 1,770.

The Navy, which for months had the majority of the military’s cases, grew by 25 percent in the past week-and-a-half, to 4,591 total. The Army, with more than twice the personnel of the Navy and Air Force, has reported 5,311 infection, a 38-percent increase since July 1."...(more)

1. Lots of military voted for Donny Bodybags.

He clearly thinks of them as cannon fodder.

2. He also doesn't care if Taliban snipers pick them off one at a time

as a paid favor to Uncle Vlad.

3. Yup. And of course he knew, but even if someone believes he didn't, what is he doing about that NOW?

4. Because of this virus the military

is currently having a hard time getting recruits. All branches.
Good luck.

5. I believe it. My husband is retired military and they have limited our access

to the base. At first we could only enter the base one day a week. Then they changed it to 3 days. It has been like that for a long time. No sign of it changing anytime soon. They did a mass testing of all the active duty there. They were hopeful that they would ease restrictions. After they got the results they were not hopeful. Limitations are still there. This happened when Virginia’s numbers were going down. Now that the numbers are trending up (at least in my area..Hampton Roads) they will definitely not open up access. We have decided that we will not go back to the base. It must be pretty bad if they don’t want us there.

6. That probably says a lot about not social distancing and probably

few masks.
