Troops lookin a little … tired, time for George to recruit some fresh ones

Washington required every soldier to be inoculated against small pox.

I'm shocked the left doesn't protest this. They hate everything else in our history.

Are they re-enacting the mandatory smallpox vaccinations?

It’s a good thing General Washington ordered his troops inoculated against smallpox. Was a vax requirement in force for this reenactment?
