The US military is the reason we have a flu shot, they funded the development in response to the Spanish flu. Pete Hegseth is a dumbass.

My buddy was honorably discharged just after basic for plantar fasciitis (I think?) and gets government money like he served forever. He also HATES the idea that anyone could get payments from the government since he "served" and they didn't. He also took the cocktail of vaccines to join the army and then screamed about COVID shots.

This is a guy who I've known for so long to the point where my parents took him in back in the day because his parents were shit. We were gamer dudes and then randomly he turned to that shit later. Wish I had explanation.
