That pretty much sums up my feelings exactly.

This is true. If a dangerous deadly flu were to break out there really is absolutely nothnig the military can do. The only thing to even slow something like this down is to vaccinate or give that one flu medicine.. (i forget the name of it.. ... .. hrm... tamiflu i think) and even both of those can be ineffective. In this day and age, with something like a flu virus, quarantine is pointless/useless.
