Not unlikely actually, if you know much about the US Army.
It seems interestingly timed with a discovery of a creature that can live without oxygen, and this virus just happens to fuck up peoples' blood oxygen level by damaging the lungs.
Inject your troops with something that decreases need for higher blood oxygen-level and they should be mostly unaffected by something like this (as well as being able to possibly breathe underwater)
Nice, just a theory of course. But if we did do this, it would be hilarious watching anyone try to fight back against us, because they'd be gasping for air after a brisk walk lmao
Whatever you believe nobody cares Whatever it is you think you know Don't give a God dam Reality is bullshit Reflection is a concept Based on your own fucked up ideal
Don't call it part of your faith Another way you justify hate
Voices shouting under water Drown you out, steal your air Blinded by their own illusion Through a crooked looking glass
Army of theives Blood on their hands Lightning, fire and brimstone They'll say whatever they can Conspiracy theories, Arrogant trash They prowl alone and trvel in packs
[Chorus]
Vocies shouting in the water Drag you down, steal your air Dissolut, Diabolic Snake oil salesmen everywhere [x4] People of the lie
Whatever you believe Nobody cares Idol worship, made of fantasy Don't push your deity on me
Reality is bullshit Reflection is a concept Based on your own fucked up ideal [x4] People of the lie
