The mil would be crippled for routine operations and training if they had to go full lockdown and quarantine every time covid got loose on a ship, barracks, field exercise, etc.

The mil itself could gut through it, but politically and bureaucratically they CANNOT infect a bunch of mil and then let them loose to expose civilian family, GS, contractors, etc. The problem isn't the mil itself, it's keeping it away from demographics who DO have at risk people.

I think the majority of mil covid deaths were older reservists.
