And the CIC wants to send our military over there under the auspice of “support”

[Resolute Conservative]

I would have to disobey that order.

I wonder what the plan is to care for any U.S. military personnel who get infected while providing "support". Will they be evacuated to the U.S. like those doctors were? If so, will there be an isolation unit on the evacuation plane? Will they be treated in a field hospital?

And just how much good will one 25-bed field hospital really do? It's symbolic support at best. And it puts our men and women in direct danger of infection for nothing more than symbolic support. If, on the other hand, we were to launch a true, massive support program directed at truly stopping the epidemic, I could get behind that effort, as I do think Ebola is a direct threat to the U.S.A.

But a single 25-bed field hospital? Come on! Get real.
