The USA is very late at getting the logistical theater of operations going along the west coast of Africa. Whether or not boots are on the ground as direct attendants of people in need, boots must be on the ground, handling the logistical needs *for* the locals and medical people who are doing the work.
IOW, the locals and medical people *there* at the front lines ... need to look over their shoulders and see a ready supply of fresh water, protective gear, treatment of protective gear, and thoroughly efficient cremation plants - because no person, nor pet, nor animal, nor associated clothing of EBOLA victims deceased, should go anywhere but straight to these cremation plants.
Its war, and you have to kill EBOLA before it kills you. EBOLA cannot be left laying around in dead animals, dead people, dead anything - buried, because of nice thoughts and wishful thinking. BECAUSE, EBOLA comes back from the dead - which is why were having the problem, again. We must arrange things so that EBOLA cannot be dug up, again.
ISIL / ISIS will try to.
CDC Major Tom, Obama, and WHO keep refusing to stop Guinean, Liberian, and Sierria Leonian passport from flying.
It’s as if their are totally unaware of military air bridges which our folks do with elan an efficiency. Well Golf-Zero might have an excuse.
Given that, what is the real reason? A hanging offense I suspect.
