Brings to mind an old saying that goes something like this:
For those that fight for it, Life [liberty, freedom] has a flavor that the protected will never know.
The military may be an "organization" to some, but to me it was a SERVICE that I gave to my country, along with a blank check that stipulated my ALL, including my life if required.
The malaria medicine was considered safe at the time and is still used over fifty years later, with no qualms. Interesting that politics has superseded science and now this medicine is no longer safe but actually considered by a few as dangerous. Excuse me if I see a glass half full to your glass almost empty (speaking to all the naysayers on here).

First thank you for your service.
It is still apparently considered safe for treatment of Malaria there is a major question is how safe/effective it is for the virus.
Unfortunately what should be purely a medical issue has gotten politicized. For me when the vaccine comes out will take the advise of our primary care doctor. Hopefully we will not need treatment for the virus
