He hates the military. Always has.

Besides treating them like dirt, Hussein 0bama has just capped their pay once more. I suspect that there are quite a few in the military that HATE him. Most Veterans do also. I know that I do!

If you don't have the mosquitoes to carry malaria, you don't have malaria. It is a 'local' problem.

Ebola, on the other hand, is not so constrained.

And stop bringing those cases over here and putting them in our hospitals no matter how airtight they say they are!

I think Obama intends for our military to institute martial law there, hence his focus on the military. So not only will they be exposed to this deadly virus, I believe they will be used by the West African government to restrain its own citizens, who are not co-operating with the quarantine requirements.

If it becomes an issue, then you have to sell it as protecting black people. Because if it’s not quarantined, it’s going to spread in Africa first, and kill black people first.

You have to think that there is an evil ulterior motive here, or 0bama would want to just send money.

“their interests which are antithetical to ours”

Well most of ours anyway. Barry, his backers, and certain LIV’s fully embrace their interests.

You know it and I know it, but blacks will never get it.
It'll be just another excuse to loot ... nationwide.

The military fire bullets and break things. They are not a world health organization. This is way outside their scope and another Obama tactic to wussify the military.

Actually the military, primarily the United States Army, is deeply involved in disease and WHO, it was the Army that led such research and operations before agencies came along that could help them, The Army is deeply involved in research and seeking cures for Sars and Ebola, and has been involved in all Ebola outbreaks.

US Troops fighting an unseen enemy that is no direct threat to the homeland. That’s not what they were trained to do. Sticking our noses in other countries’ business again.

Why doesn’t he volunteer himself, Michelle and daughters if he is so concerned about West Africa?

They have more racial affinity to that continent.

And when the troops come home, the patriotic military families will be the first to get Ebola in America. The troops signed up to risk there own lives for their country, not the lives of their families.

They have millions of people in these countries that can be enlisted to help. We can give them aid, but its plain stupid to send out military over there.

Yes - for its own purposes. The military is NOT some UN world health org and has no business being over there

The Army is the organization that has always had an interest and involvement in infectious diseases, and it does work involved in world health.

“We had a large footprint in Africa,” Cummings said of the Defense Department’s response to the first Ebola cases reported in 1976 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly Zaire. Since that time, the Defense Department has answered numerous calls for assistance from the World Health Organization (WHO), nongovernmental organizations and ministries of heath and defense, he said.”

Doesn't sound like a good idea at all.Yes,ebola is bad...and likely to get worse.Yes,the West (including the US) can play an important role in fighting it.That role might involve sending in medical experts (VOLUNTEERS!) as well as funding local/regional authorities in their efforts to fight it.But sending US troops? No upside....breathtakingly huge downside.

Let Obama ask for VOLUNTEERS to go to Africa for this mission ; it’s that’s dangerous . NONE should be ordered to go there , to support his cockamamey ideas .
Like the push to give every serving Armed Forces member anthrax shots ....remember that one ? It was finally defeated after massive resistance .

When you are in uniform you cannot disobey orders ( so far) .We The People have to fight some of these fights for them

Thus the petition .

Good Americans needs to get as persistent and as visible as Code Stink does . THEN we might be able to affect things . Sitting at home at our computers , grumbling , accomplishes little .
Boots on ! Ready ? Let’s roll ....
