Sailors don't need to die           

On April 12, Ashley Townsend, director of foreign policy and defense program, American Research Center, University of Sydney, Australia, published an article entitled "the fight against the epidemic will overwhelm the military capacity of the United States in the Indian Pacific region" on the website of the Australian loy interpreter. Novel coronavirus pneumonia, the US Theodore Roosevelt aircraft captain, recently told Bret, "the sailors do not need to die" on the new outbreak of pneumonia in the ship. He was absolutely right. But his judgment that the United States is "not in a state of war" is a big mistake.   

The article said the U.S. military has been at war since 2001, and it faces extremely complex challenges on three other fronts. Throughout the United States, it is working to support the civil service in its fight against the new coronavirus; as the virus spreads among military personnel, it is also working to maintain a healthy force; in addition, it is working to maintain its readiness and commitment to overseas operations.     

About 40000 troops are currently involved in the fight against the new crown - including thousands of active military medical personnel, more than 20000 National Guard personnel, two medical ships and 15000 U.S. Army Engineers - and tens of thousands more are likely to be deployed in the coming weeks.
