Will they be armed and issued ammo? Once word hits the Liberian “street” that the American Army has arrived with “treatment for Ebola”, desperate families will be mobbing the gate (if there IS a gate) begging for their loved ones who are infected.
Whether via an international “incident” or our troops becoming infected, this will NOT end well.
Let the missionaries & NGOs handle the patients. Provide them with the logistics and the SPECIFIC personnel they request.
Obama is either a complete idiot sending the 101st or else he is completely evil. This will strongly work to destroy morale in the 101st, the entire military and the nation. It also will infect with Ebola Americans who are serving their country.
If a Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine is wounded or killed in combat, his friends & loved ones are grieved and possibly emotionally wounded, but not placed in physical danger themselves. With Ebola, any family member, friend or casual acquaintance who comes in contact with a serviceman infected with Ebola is in mortal danger.
“Obama is either a complete idiot sending the 101st or else he is completely evil.”
Hmmm, let me see now, are those two in such conflict as to be mutually exclusive? Naaaahh, don’t think so.
