Pentagon: 75,000 U.S. Troops, Globally, Showing Signs Of COVID-19 Infection

Word is seeping out of the Pentagon that globally, about 75,000 United States troops, are showing signs of possible Coronavirus infection.

The US Military has 1.3 Million Active Duty forces so there are still more than adequate numbers to meet out military needs, but it is a massive impact on troop strength.

Moreover, given this virus is catastrophically infectious, one can only wonder how many additional troops are already infected but not yet showing symptoms.

Would a potential adversary look to take advantage of us if our military succumbed to this virus?

Americans who own firearms should go out and buy additional ammunition, just in case someone around the world gets a stupid idea.(source)
