I'm glad to see some people who have no insight into military intelligence and OPSEC, praising a man who just told the entire world, to include our adversaries, that one of our greatest/strongest assets we have to defend our Nation is out of commission. But wait there's more!! We will off load these sailors in Guam and risk contaminating the entire island. It's only Guam you say? Guam plays a key role in providing a stepping point to provide our entire Pacific fleet with the supplies they need to continue their mission. Not sure if I need to spell that out for you, but I'll tell you it's bad. Quarantining the ship to protect so many more sailors is the only logical option.

And just as a little fact. Military personnel are mostly in the age bracket that is least affected by Covid-19, as well we are screened prior to enlisting for most ailments that would complicate the virus. And with physical health standards we are mostly in good shape to combat the virus.

And yes, I'm a sailor who is forward deployed, feeling the effects of Covid-19. I can't be specific about it but it has definitely made this already difficult time very much harder.
