So just what is it that 3000 soldiers could do over there battling a disease that 3000 peace corps volunteers (with sufficient funding) couldn’t do?
So Obama wants to expose at least 3,000 military troops to this deadly disease to then bring it home to their families and friends which will spread the disease nationwide here.
US to send 3,000 troops to Ebola danger zone as Obama administration shuffles military’s mission in Africa
“The Fox News Channel reported on Sunday that the U.S. military’s emphasis on Ebola prevention, driven by President Barack Obama, has stretched thin most if not all of its other missions.
A senior military official told Fox that General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at a recent meeting that ‘the Department of Defense’s number one priority is combating Ebola.’
The network’s source commented that ‘we don’t need to be taking planners away from the CT [counter-terrorism] mission, and that is what is going on.’
Defense spending is down 21 per cent since 2010, the first fiscal year for which the Obama administration presided over the federal budget.
But the president is insisting that the military carry much of the burden in Africa.
