Your friend has valid concerns and yes the military probably did warn him correctly. I was 8 years in the service. I have done extensive research on the matter and things are not looking good. It is something that I would have said and did was crazy 1 year ago, but things are different and it is a real threat to the world. A Pandemic will mostly likely hit the world and 50 - 80 percent of us may be gone. But the smart ones who investigate and who have and open mind will remain. I have written an eBook if you are interested, check it out at: www.killerflu.net . It will explain what the flu is, what the h5N1 stains is and how it will affect the world if a Pandemic would happen, from preparing for it, how to avoid the flu, what precautions to take, latest research on prescription medications, what alternative antivirals to use and most of all what you can do FREE and what is around the house to help you survive. (This eBook will help you:
Understand what the Avian (Bird or H5N1) Flu virus is; How to prepare for a possible Pandemic; How to avoid becoming infected; Know what to expect after a Pandemic, How to prepare your immune system!) You may get some tips here: http://www.killerflu.net/sample_chapter_information. I priced the eBook at 9.95, so that everyone can afford it. However, if you would like it and you can not afford this price, email me at: eBook@killerflu.net and I will try to help you out with a free copy. Good Luck, April Kelley
