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.

Not true. The military could prevent the mass population movements that help spread the disease.
Research how the Black Plague was spread. First started in one city, and from there on out it was spread by those hoping to avoid it... spreading it accross Europe and back to Asia. While the flu is effectively non-preventable at a local scale, the Military could provide a cork in order to plug the hole in the preverbial sinking ship.
Is this overstepping the bounds of the military? Yes.
Am I against this? Only if there no proper restrictions of time of action and who controls it.
