Our troops mix in with the general population so if it goes out of control in the population it's going to spread through our troops.
"Defense officials say the "uptick" in cases at military installations has happened "largely around where we are seeing it in the civilian communities, so in Florida, in Texas, in Arizona, some parts of California," according to Thomas McCaffrey, assistant secretary of defense for health affairs.
The Air Force in particular is seeing a "hot spot" in San Antonio, where Lackland Air Force Base is located, according to an Air Force official. There is also concern about several Air Force installations in Florida, the official said."
What I wonder is since we have let this burn out of control will countries that have done a far superior job than we did, like South Korea and Germany, start having real issues if we send any replacement troops their way. I'm thinking they don't want any troops from the mainland US since our COVID control program has been so inept.
