Please pray for the safety of our troops and their families.

Ms. Pham, the nurse at the Dallas hospital received all kinds of safety training. Remind me what happened.

More insanity from the idiot in the White House.

To him our military is cannon fodder.

If I didn’t know better I might think Obamabola’s hidden motive in sending our troops to an Obola-infested part of Africa is to facilitate its spread throughout the United States upon the troops’ return. But I know better.

We have no business getting involved in this. Shut our borders down now!

No US troops!!!!

What is our exit strategy?

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Let’s hope the military is better at safety “protocol” than the CDC is.

QUESTIONS:

What if an individual soldier misses movement, (I think that's the term), and just doesn't go?

Less than honorable discharge?

Leavenworth?

I know it's improbable, but what if all of them just don't show up? Again, just axing a couple of questions. I don't see how this is in the job description or in the oath.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

This is beyond stupid.

[NYRepublican72]

Why is Present Obola doing this?

1) We don’t need to be there. Let the locals handle it.
2) We don’t need to put our troops in harm’s way for this.
3) It puts those of us stateside at risk when our troops inevitably come down with Ebola and are airlifted here for treatment.

But then again, stupid is as stupid does.

[dfwgator]

What could possibly go wrong?

[Noamie]

I read that they got 2, half-days of training.

Great.

The Airborne are precisely the wrong people to send. Back in the 90's, Canada sent our 1st Airborne to Somalia on a humanitarian mission. What ensued was a total disaster. Our Airborne were trained to be our first line of OFFENCE. These soldiers were highly trained killers. They were not nice guys. Why they were sent on a humanitarian mission is a lesson in stupidity. After an unfortunate incident there, the 1st Airborne was totally disbanded. What a waste.

One of em gets it...end of Obola.

Go To War With Ebola , only a Liberal Democrat could say that line

[G Larry]

As noted here:

The “preparedness” will be totally inadequate.

[Pollster1]

'Ebola is a different problem set that the division hasn't (faced) before,' said Major General Gary Volesky, who will soon head to Liberia along with soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division.

No "boots on the ground" in Iraq for the war our troops understand. Three thousand pair of boots on the ground in Liberia. Obama is both a moron and evil, and I have trouble telling whether stupidity or malice is his dominant trait.
