The notion that a flu vaccine must be mandatory for every service member everywhere, in every circumstance, at all times, is just overly broad and not rational. Our new policy is if you, an American warrior entrusted to defend this nation, believe that the flu vaccine is in your best interest, then you are free to take it. You should, but we will not force you because your body, your faith and your convictions are not negotiable. Your health. It's common sense. (01:11–01:22)
