Pentagon Confirms Over 1,000 COVID-19 Cases Among Military, Orders Bases To Stop Public Reporting

The Department of Defense (DoD) announced a grim milestone Monday — it’s total number of COVID-19 cases among US service members, civilian contractors, on-base civilian staff, and family dependents of troops has surpassed 1,000.

“Total DoD Cases (current, recovered and deaths) is 1,087,” according to DoD fact sheet released on Monday. The numbers are as follow:

569 military cases

220 civilian cases

190 dependent cases

64 contractor cases

The Pentagon said 569 service members have been infected, among these 26 hospitalizations, and 34 have recovered.

The remainder of total cases involve civilian contractors working on military bases and/or at the Pentagon, as well as dependents. This number is up significantly from Friday’s total DoD number of 600.

But it appears we are fast heading toward a near total reporting blockage in terms of DoD-wide cases, and specifically where they originate, and in what branches of the US armed services. As Stars & Stripes reports:

The Defense Department has ordered commanders at all of its installations worldwide to stop announcing publicly new coronavirus cases among their personnel, as the Pentagon said Monday that more than 1,000 U.S. military-linked people had been sickened by the virus.

The order issued by Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Friday is meant to protect operational security at the Defense Department’s global installations, Jonathan Hoffman, the Pentagon’s chief spokesman, said in a statement Monday. He said Defense Department leaders worried adversaries could exploit such information, especially if the data showed the outbreak impacted U.S. nuclear forces or other critical units.

This constitutes perhaps the clearest admission thus far throughout the crisis that the coronavirus pandemic is a serious threat to US defense readiness and national security.

U.S. Deploys Two Batteries Of Patriot Missiles In Iraq. More To Come

The United States has already deployed Patriot anti-air batteries to the bases hosting US troops in Iraq, AFP reported on March 30 citing US and Iraqi sources. The systems are reportedly deployed in Erbil and at Ain al-Asad base, which was hit by Iranian ballistic missiles in in January.

The US had been planning to deploy Patriot missiles in Iraq since the military escalation with Iran in the region, when Iranian forces conducted a missile strike on US bases in responce to US agressive actions.

The AFP has not been able to confirm whether Baghdad actually gave its nod to the deployment. However, two anti-air complexes are already on the Iraqi soil.

The report says that the first Patriot battery was delivered to Ain al-Asad last week, while the second one was being set up at a base in Erbil. There are at least two more batteries earmarked for the deployment in Iraq. However, they are yet to reach the destination, for now located in Kuwait.

Every un-American gun bill imaginable is in H.R. 5717!

federal license to transport gun and ammo

cannot buy ammo for another person, like your wife or brother

poor won’t be able to afford the license

background check reform: outlaw private sales

can’t gift your guns without paying transfer fee

7 day waiting period

minimum age for purchasing firearm and ammo – 21

you have to securely store your gun – one size fits all

extend gun free school zones – all schools and everywhere that students go

red flag gun laws

silencer ban

assault weapon ban

bump stocks ban

outlawing 80% guns – every gun must have a serial number

dealer reform- require dealers to use lock metal cabinets and safes and anti theft alarms, security gates, more

industry reform

30% tax on guns on top of sales tax

50% tax on ammo

gun safety initiatives (anti gun groups)

can only purchase 1 gun a month

“You really need to hand it to the Democrats. While the American people are concerned about their health and distracted by the coronavirus, the Democrats proposed the most sweeping anti-gun legislation in American history.”

“It’s like the old adage, and one Law Enforcement Today has been warning about…when politicians, especially liberal ones are holding something in their left hand, in this case the coronavirus, watch out what they have in their right.”

-Create a nationwide gun registry

-Universal background checks

-Seven day waiting period for gun purchases

-Ban almost all semi-automatic rifles

-Institute a federal magazine ban

-Implement national “Red Flag” gun confiscation

-Tax guns at 30% and ammunition at 50%

-Ban people under 21 from exercising their Second Amendment Rights (keep in mind, Pelosi wants to lower the voting age to 16)

-Ration guns by making it illegal to purchase more than one firearm in a 30-day period

-Force “Safe Storage” requirements on gun owners

-Ban home builds

-Ban suppressors

-Force FFL’s to spend massive amounts of money to comply with new “security requirements”

-Expand “Gun Free Zones”

–Establish a national database of gun owners

“That is not even the worst of it. FPB reports that HR5717 would require gun owners to obtain a permit from the government to purchase guns and ammo. In addition, in order to obtain this “permit,” gun owners would be required to submit to a live-fire exercise.”

Now the tricky part. How can one participate in a “live-fire” exercise if that’s a requirement to purchase a gun in the first place? This legislation basically makes it impossible to purchase a gun as a first-time buyer.

Think about this. The government is certainly not going to provide guns and ammunition for first-time gun buyers. See where this is going?

The legislation would also repeal the law which excludes product liability for firearm manufacturers when weapons are used in the commission of a crime.
