Extensive and informative article from an expert.

Just “Shock and Awe” Ebola.

Nuke it from space, it’s the only way to be sure.

pRes_ _ent Obola is intent on establishing an aerial
gateway for the disease to all states, in case
the tuberculosis, IS, or EV-68 don’t finish the job first.

And if the outbreak is not stopped now, we could be looking at hundreds of thousands of people infected, with profound political and economic and security implications for me. So this is an epidemic that is not just a threat to regional security — it’s a potential threat to my security....”

My guess is it may degrade and wear down our military.

Enough is enough!

These are soldiers, military personnel, not medical personnel or aid workers! Use the right tools for the appropriate jobs.

Who is going to protect the troops while they are working to stop Ebola?

I wonder how many of these 3,000 will become infected? And, what will be the government's response to them when they return home? How long will they have to wait for treatment?

This is not how we should use our military personnel. Boots on the ground to fight the ebola virus. Air strikes against the dreaded ebolas. Why didn't we try sanctions first?

They can if they follow this Marine's plan.

I’m still skeptical about involving the U.S. military in this.

[Disambiguator]

They’ll have to go back to a .30 caliber battle rifle first. .223 is not adequate for fighting Ebolas.

I’d think this would be the perfect opportunity for the older Obama daughter to do some mission/outreach work. Let an Obama go personally to the Ebola-infected nations to work beside U.S. troops.

We have more “boots on the ground” in West Africa than Iraq.

The first good article on this operation that I have seen.

[Nachoman]

Methinks someone has created a hockey-stick graph of the projected ebola outbreak to stimulate massive funding for this “war”.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Can the U.S. Army Degrade and Destroy Ebola?

Well....yes.... if that is what you want.... But are you sure you want that?

Beware what you ask for.

We tried meals on wheels in Somalia. Somalia’s welcome wagon kicked our butt.

Don't agree with the view put forth in the article that airlines are wrong in limiting flights. To the contrary, the airlines are right in limiting travel to and from those countries. How do you think the virus is spreading, after all? If anything, it is irresponsible not to essentially quarantine those countries. Doing this and fighting the virus aren't exclusive of one another, deliveries of needed supplies can still be made via non-commercial air transport.
