In an unusual move, the Pentagon announced that if a person became ill in Corona he would not be able to serve in the U.S. military. The US Department of Defense believes that patients who have recovered from the virus are also health-impaired and may develop respiratory-related illnesses during fitness exercises and complex combat, as part of their training process as combatants.

Doctors in the US Army have indicated that the weekly health air tends to scar and be damaged by the disease. Although, in most cases, it is a transient local injury, not one that reduces long-term lung function, but the US is not willing to take the risk that complications or problems that could not be anticipated are revealed. .

The US Army has not addressed the situation of the Corona fighters currently in active service. But it is inevitable that in many cases these will also be released from active service as a result of the disease.

In principle, the US military can appeal the recruitment bureau's decision not to recruit anyone, but even if a young man challenges the local corona virus decision, it will be rejected again because the Pentagon's order requires all levels.

An examination by Israel Today shows that the exceptional decision will not be adopted by the IDF, at least at the moment. Over the past few weeks, several hundred soldiers and security service candidates have arrived. Those who have recovered will be able to enlist as usual with the IDF, with a standard examination of their health.
