I know there’s always talk of bioweapons, but warzones are also a melting pot for diseases, especially in a modern war where soldiers are more likely to survive wounds that would’ve once killed you outright - Those same wounds are the perfect breeding ground for all kinds of disease.
Pair that with our lax intl’ response to antibiotic resistance (which is probably even less of a concern to doctors in warzones) you have a powder keg of pandemic proportions ready to blow.
Yeah, I’m not exactly surprised superbugs would breed in conditions where soldiers are stuck sitting in trenches for years. It’s not exactly a sanitary environment. If we see these kinds of bugs breeding in hospitals that we actually try to keep clean, it’s almost certain they would easily breed in a war zone.
