Personally I believe we’re asking for big trouble by sending in thousands of airborne unit combat troops to a country known as Liberia. Which according to some functionary appointed by “Obama The Magnificent Incompetent” are being sent there to help construct infastructure for a series of Ebola health clinics.
Liberia is a country created by former American slaves who’s capital,Monrovia,is named after an American President James Monroe. According to a report I heard from a local conservative talk show host which I could be wrong,(and truly hope so) reported. “The city has only 7 or 9 public toilets, and a mere 26 miles of fresh water piping.”
Right now the country has just gotten through a bitter civil war and seems to be the current epicenter of the Ebola outbreak that btw started after an infestation of caterpillars. I mention that because Sierra Leone where the epidemic originated from had the same experience.
Here is some of the other krap that is going on there;

While it’s obvious we gave this effort by former enslaved American citizens to return to the continent they were taken from meger attention and support following its creation than what should been given.
While heaping praise on those who volunteer But denying that option to our forces. Under present circumstances we should be circumspective of the assistance we offer. Certainly sending combat units not equipted with the knowledge, training, or backgound to do what is needed. Placing them in harms way in an area where the likelyhood of contracting a deadly disease is pre eminent simply because it suits political symbolism is madness.
So you still think the 101st are Airborne, and that we are sending in thousands of them?
