CBS 60 Minutes: Fighting an unseen enemy: How the military is protecting itself from the coronavirus pandemic
The U.S. military is changing its procedures and training to combat the spread of COVID-19. David Martin reports on what's being done to protect those keeping the country safe.
Anyone joining the United States military takes an oath to defend the country against all enemies foreign and domestic. Safe to say very few of them had coronavirus in mind when they raised their right hand. By latest count, some 60,000 servicemen and women have been sent into action against this new enemy.

Question is do their 5 viewers know? Or care?
ReplyDeleteThere are 1.3 million people in the US military. There is one dead. The casualties are massive.
Maybe Trump should ask Macron for the white flag so the Us can surrender to Xi, Putin, or Elliot Carver (of CNN?)
