Maybe he wants Ebola in the US military. That would be a faster neater way to really weaken the military than the constant purges.

Name the number of groups in the government who have the transport capability, the familiarity as part of their standard training in hazmat suits, and who have a large supply of portable hospitals that can be deployed in hours...

And every single one you tick off which isn't the military likely should have their budget severely curtailed. I mean, really, the only group in our government which should be able to deploy a field hospital and do the basic staffing in hazmat suits anywhere in the world SHOULD be our military.

LOL, Jokingly I have been advocating sending Ebola into the mideast.

Here we have the president wanting to bring it into America’s military, to disable it in any fashion possible. Get rid of able men. Get rid of competent planners. If we can’t bankrupt it, disable it. Fill it full of gays and black rappers. Change the rules of engagement into “catch and release”.

Anything to diminish America’s might and abilities.

Can we get a refund?

The question before us is not IF our military can do it, it is WHY our military should do it?

Some people have bought into the whole “Global force for good” BS.

I want them to kill bad people and break stuff.

We have a war to fight President Obama. I know the folks with Ebola are black... and I know black people matter to you more than any other group. But for God’s sake we’re in a war...

Per the resident Ebola expert you have more to fear from a hangnail than Ebola.

Yesterday a knowledgeable person from a relief agency told me of a well educated and highly regarded Liberian doctor who, along with a Liberian-American, visited one of the Ebola treatment centers.

This doctor wanted to enter the ward and refused to put on gloves or a mask, saying, "Oh, there is no danger!" The staff refused to let him in. The two men left that treatment center and went to visit one run by another agency, where they were allowed into the wards.

One of these men then went to Nigeria where he died five days later. The other man returned to Monrovia and died after four days.

"Them hangnails can be killers!"

Ebola will actually make you more handsome and often make you incredibly skilled at trade and profit.

It is a beneficial thing to acquire.

“Lakeland stands ready to join the fight against the spread of Ebola,” said Christopher J. Ryan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lakeland Industries. “We understand the difficulty of getting appropriate products through a procurement system that in times of crisis favors availability over specification, and we hope our added capacity will help alleviate that problem. With the U.S. State Department alone putting out a bid for 160,000 suits, we encourage all protective apparel companies to increase their manufacturing capacity for sealed seam garments so that our industry can do its part in addressing this threat to global health.

I didn’t consider this (the Ebola outbreak) part of the current Cloward-Piven strategy, but now that you mention it - too convenient for coincidence? I looked but can’t find the article from earlier this summer that described how the disease appeared to be spreading differently this time - makes me wonder if it was “assisted”. The world sure is going to hell quickly - seems like all at once, doesn’t it?

Once again, the taxpayers are good for it.

“Army Colonel James Cummings, a doctor and director of the Global Emerging Infections Surveillance and Response System in the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center, said the battle against the virus since the outbreak began in West Africa in March focuses on trying to stop disease transmission.

“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.

Defense personnel provide a wide array of support to the Ebola-stricken African nations, from logistical help to guides for clinical management of the virus, Cummings said, adding the U.S service members “bring a level of excellence second to none, working in response to host nations and WHO in the most-affected countries of Sierra Leone and Liberia.””

I forgot to add something that you will probably remember when it is mentioned.

A part of the United States Army’s capability in breaking things and killing people, is an expertise and deep involvement in biological warfare.

Personally I’m not opposed to rounding up all the globalist scumbags who are all for sending troops over there and sending them instead.

There’s no amount of heroism they aren’t willing to risk someone else’s life for.

Geee.... you make it look like the US ARMY is deeply involved in this ebola virus situation, and has been for a long, long, long time.

was watching World War Z and I always wondered how a zombie epidemic in India spread to the US.

since ebola may be airborn it would be epically stupid to send DoD officers there and back here not knowing the nature of the virus.

darn, I think I’ve been watching to many zombie movies.
