it certainly shouldn’t be ruled out because of Coronavirus. We should not set the assumptions that dictate the size of our regular Army on a (thankfully) extremely rare situation such as an influenza pandemic. I am not saying that it might not/should not influence the discussion but it really shouldn’t dictate it.
