SEATTLE - Four military recruits died in the past year and thousands others were sickened by a flu-like virus that the military once had a vaccine program for but abandoned to save money.
The respiratory virus now infects up to 2,500 service members each month - 1 in 10 recruits -- at the nation's eight basic-training centers, according to a Seattle Times' analysis of military health-care records.
More than three decades ago, the Pentagon commissioned two pills to ward off the adenovirus, but defense officials abandoned the program in 1996 as too expensive, after military budget cuts the paper reported.
