I'd like Dem senator to ask this question: if a navy vessel is deployed to a part of the world that is prone to infectious disease, and there is a vaccine that protects against that disease, would you require all sailors on that ship to be vaccinated? If not, how would you contain the shipwide spread of that disease, and how does that contribute to readiness?

Like our adversaries, disease will be so afraid of Trump's unpredictable style that it will cower at the thought of infecting servicemen.

Great idea. He’d probably just say that he and Trump will always make sure that the enlisted people are safe and protected from disease in such a way as to never negatively impact combat readiness because he and Trump are committed to ensuring the readiness of all of our troops both here and abroad. In other words, politispeak for 5 minutes without actually answering the question.
