Best Answer

Mostly because of the close quarters and often poor access to soap and water for frequent hand washing. There aren't exactly unlimited facial tissues in the areas where they work to use to contain coughs and sneezes as well as usual. Troops deployed to war zones may also not have immediate access to get a preventive vaccination in time at the start of the flu season before catching the flu.
