On the bright side they'll be too weak to kill people

The guy who dines of lobster and crab and feeds troops slop is worried about war-fighting capabilities? This man is absolutely incompetent.

How does the flu vaccine weaken our war fighting capabilities? He needs to be made to testify about this under oath

I mourn no soldier that dies to this, but I mourn the thousands ans possibly more of innocent people that will die from their sickness. Killing overseas and now at home

The troops will now be known as the Flu Fighters.

Hegseth becomes a national security threat. @angrystaffer.bsky.social @demgovs.org

Pete trying to defeat the flu.

How, pray tell, does getting a flu shot weaken our “warfighting capability?”

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE STUPIDITY!!!!!!!!!!!

What a fucking idiot! Flu season is gonna be brutal for the military

Practicing “lethality, lethality, lethality” — on the troops instead of the enemy. Bold new strategy: downgrade force protection, then call the consequences freedom.

Stupid lush

Stop tetanus shots too. Nobody needs them. Lol

Spanish Flu. 25 to 50 million deaths www.goodreads.com/en/book/show...

So when the next Covid variant hits and you don't have a "war-fighting capability", what then? Manzanidiot.

Scraping money into the billionaires' pockets wherever they can find it.

🎶 don’t know much about history 🎶

Its usually a good idea when you have people living in close quarter with each other to give viruses freedom to circulate

Did anyone ask him to explain how flu shots weaken the military

www.bbc.com/future/artic... Article from March 2, 2020.

You have to understand where he is coming from. In his mind "flu" is code for "hangover" and you don't get hangovers if you just stay drunk. It has been working for him for years now. Little bit of coke to balance it out, no one will ever know.

Too bad for millions there was no flu vax in 1917….

New band that cancels gigs due to rampant flu infections just dropped: Flu Fighters

Fucking idiot.

For a guy with a massive hard on for soldiers, he sure does want to kill a lot of them.

🤔 The flu tearing through troops like wild fire sounds like something that would weaken war fighting capabilities.

How does a flu shot weaken anything…? Hegseth is dumb as a fucking stump

'...at the height of the American military involvement in the war, September through November 1918, influenza and pneumonia sickened 20% to 40% of U.S. Army and Navy personnel.' Download the article before he bans it for not being able to do a pull-up. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

At night all the enemy has to do is shoot at the coughs.

Is immunity weakness now? Like what the fuck is this full grown dumbass pile of garbage even talking about?

Getting very sick with the flu to own the libs.

Hexbreath is a saboteur. Kinda like his boss.

Does this include small pox? George Washington's Continental Army would like to have a word.

He made the announcement in front of a painting of Washington crossing the Delaware. Recall what else Washington did to help ensure victory in that war? We are lead by fools. www.nps.gov/articles/000...

. It looks like Trump is delivering another catastrophic blow for Putin. I wonder how Trump got that idea to cripple US troops. . united24media.com/latest-news/...

Having to relearn why we do things is the admins guiding mission.

* Putin has invaded the United States of America vis-a-vis Donald Trump's Fox News Appointees Administration of Cosplay unqualified loyal stooges. Russia or China or even North Korea could take advantage of the present disarray of the american government with a nuclear first strike. *

Yes, as influenza has long been considered a performance-enhancer for war-fighting capability.

What a fucking nutter.

"Warriors" with the flu. Huzzah!

Like, this is grimly funny to anybody who has ever read a history book - these goons are speed running the End of Empire

ffs - seriously, ffs

If sickness is ripping through a confined environment how effective are they at doing their job? Republicans are empty-headed performative zealots who know nothing of the world and shouldn’t be in charge of a McDonalds fry station, Exhibit 3,712

I suggest the ideologically ignorant Hegseth get up to speed on US history where George Washington ensured his troops were inoculated against smallpox during the Revolutionary War. It may have saved the revolution. historyofvaccines.org/blog/washing...

Because nothing makes you want to get out of that trench and fight more than having flu …

Not requiring feels more like a weakening of our military. Be interesting to see the flu/sick rates next year, especially with all the wars they are starting. Hopefully servicemembers get it anyway, but wouldn’t be surprising if this backfires.

Probably the only likely explanation

No lies detected 😃

Clearly he hasn’t watched the the Ken Burns American Revolution series. George Washington watched his troops vanish from illness

Loser military for a loser country.

god he's such a fucking loser

Standby for news like this: ‘We’re receiving reports that over 600 service members on Aircraft Carrier (insert name) are currently sick with influenza. We’re hearing the vessel does not have enough fever reducing medication or buckets on board to accommodate this level of illness’.

I guess that’s one way to end the war. Make everyone too sick to fight!

so like. what's the geneva convention's stance on doing biological warfare on your *own* soldiers?

100% certified Dipshit!

The freedom to swing your arm ends when your fist contacts the other guy’s nose. Soldiers may find themselves in situations with citizens who have compromised immune systems. Things like the flu may kill these people. Or hit their noses.

the new doctrine: vaccines are for pussies

Does that moron ever think before he opens that big wide mouth of his?

Yes because everyone knows sick troops perform really well in combat. 🙄

I bet they still PDP with all the vaccinations required for said deployment location. This looks very distractive to me.

Imagine being inside a nuclear sub during a flu outbreak. Monster nasty.

Hegseth is garbage. Absolute trash

1918 influenza pandemic and soldiers ⬇️

That doesn’t even make any sense. Mandatory flu shots don’t weaken anything at all.

When you are such a macho tough guy that you retreat from getting a shot.

stupid *and* a drunk is a terrific combo

wut.

This is what happens when you put the dumbest motherfuckers possible in charge of everything. I will NEVER forgive people who voted for this

Sweet. Can't wait to see a bunch of sick sailors and soldiers in the Strait of Hormuz too unwell to do anything but curl up in blankets dreaming of hot chicken soup while Iran takes our lunch. Great thinking all around, dipshits.

Soldiers can be ordered to go on a suicidal mission for any number of reasons but sending them to the medic for a vaccine is "overreaching" 😒🙄

That killed more people than the war

Antivirus programs are for sissies. Real warriors fight malware and cyber attacks with bare sweaty hands. 😉

Yeah well Washington was a woke beta cuck, Trenton. 😜

In no way do viruses weaken war-fighting capabilities. If Anything having soldiers puking and shitting themselves STRENGTHEN war-fighting capabilities and mission readiness!

Two of my father’s great-uncles died on the flu, same day, 100 miles apart while fighting in France during WWI. But sure, over reach. I’m sure dead soldiers can fight those wars.

Wait until he sees what a flu epidemic will do to the readiness of the troops.

What a 🤡. Wait until he finds out that our "war-fighting capabilities" can be made inoperable by a virus.

Americans should not be allowed into Europe. Look what happened in 1918 with their Kansas flu. Friggin millions died. Makes me so mad.

Is having lots of soldiers sick at the same time good for readiness?

How does more sick troops make us stronger

I’m not a doctor but having raised kids and knowing how quickly germs are shared, won’t not requiring the flu shot just let the flu run rampant, and you know, WEAKEN OUR WAR FIGHTING CAPABILITIES WHEN EVERY LAST FUCKING WARFIGHTER (hate that fucking name btw) HAS THE FUCKING FLU?? MAYBE?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Did jeff write this headline? 😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣

Are helmets optional? Boots?

In what way does having fewer service members sick weaken the force?

Are there situations where military members need to be in close quarters, which could lead to flu outbreaks? File this under the logic of "I'm not getting wet, so I should throw away my umbrella."

Just what one wants in a military - riddled with disease and racists.

Our troops deserve better than this and he should be fragged.

Because troops with the flu are great at fighting wars.

Wait until he sees how a flu outbreak in a unit will weaken the warfighting capabilities. He's such a goddamned idiot.

Way things are going, might be an idea to download and save it.

Not to mention the millions that died of flu thanks to our soldiers carrying it over there.

He wants to return to the days when rum was standard issue.

A whole bunch of member of our military not ready for duty because they are sick with an easily preventable disease will also weaken our war fighting capability

Who needs disease prevention anyway? #cretin

And he’s doing remarkably well!

It's not just a job, it's a petri dish of communicable diseases. Will soldiers be required to provide their own ivermectin?

The West made the covid pandemic political. Now all healthcare is. This was inevitable. The Epstein class are eugenicists. If you're not 'working' or 'consuming', which makes them richer, they have no use for you. Resist. #WearAMask Get your jabs - there never was anything wrong with vaccines.

He’s such a dipshit

The Republican Party is an existential threat not only to the nation, but to humanity. It must be completely demolished by any means available.

So the new weapon on everyone elses shopping list. The Flu. Easy to spread, easy to catch, cheap and easy to make. 🤣😂 The US is run by idiots.

So when a large number of troops come down with the flu and are unable to fight, I’m sure Kegbreath has reserves in the background ready to step up😂🤷‍♀️

He'd have to be able to read. 0_o

Why would he need to when it obviously only affects Hispanics, not his proud white Anglo-Saxon warriors? It’s not called the Saxon Miasma!

Disease has killed more "warfighters" than weapons have. I think it is hard to quantify, but I'd wager it approaches 10x deaths from actual combat
