Why is this a job for the US military?

I thought their job was to protect the USA from military threats, not do humanitarian relief. :-(

Just HOW is this going to work? Are our troops going to shoot everyone who has Ebola? ;)

Only those that try to escape government imposed quarantine zones or resist having their dead and dying forcibly evacuated to die and be cremated in imposed zones

However having watching many zombie movies I can tell that 3,000 US military troops versus a 20,000 or 100,000 or 1.4 million zombies won’t be a pretty picture
