Gov. Perry Visits Troops Deploying to West Africa in Fight against Ebola

More than 500 troops from the 36th Engineer Brigade, 1st Medical Brigade and 85th Civil Affairs Brigade stationed at Ft. Hood are expected to deploy to Liberia by the end of this month. Approximately 200 troops stationed at Ft. Bliss, but assigned to aviation units at Ft. Hood, will also deploy. Their mission will be constructing facilities to be used in the housing and care of Ebola patients. The troops will not have contact with Ebola patients. The servicemen and women from Ft. Hood are part of a larger deployment recently announced by the Department of Defense that will send more than 3,000 troops to West Africa.

That info came from Breitbart and it was totally false.

Gov Perry did not oppose flight restrictions and in fact suggested to the Feds/Obeast that they should consider some type of ban.

I researched that as well as many others and there was no source for that. If you watch the video of his speech, you will see that he NEVER said that.
