I honestly can't tell, by the information posted, if most of these soldiers were in biological or chemical divisions. Only the last two specifically
say that. How would you find out?
In any case, what keeps bothering me about these deaths and many others listed in the beginning, is the seemingly instant death. One of the soldiers
was just ordering flowers for a fiance', one was in a training area for some reason, and others had been checked on for missing one drill. If these
people had been ill with the same strain of H1N1 we are seeing now, why were they not very ill for weeks? The only reasons I can come up with is
either a vaccine, as you stated, or the very early strain killed much more quickly. If they are all in biological or chemical divisions, than I
suppose it's possible for them to have worked on creating this bug and were afterwards threatening to go public, but that seems unlikely to me.
It may be interesting to look at the surrounding area to see how many of the early cases of confirmed H1N1 were nearby. I will check into that
today.
ETA: Ft. Hood is in Bell county. There are no confirmed cases in that county or any bordering county except Williamson county on the South. In
Williamson county there are 2 confirmed and 1 suspected case of infection. This information seems to rule out infection if the reported cases can be
trusted.
