To the editor:

My father was career Army. Before he was stationed to Germany, the whole family got shot after shot after shot. It was not voluntary. It was mandatory. The military does not want its members getting sick from diseases a vaccine would prevent. It especially does not want someone infecting others in their unit. It has more than a century of experience with diseases found elsewhere. Thus, it vaccinates the troops against those diseases when possible.
