Here is my pledge.

Sounds to me like they're practically doing the first-line triage. Not "non-risky" at all.
This is designed to infect our troops and render them incapable of fighting.
Here is my pledge.
Hey, the SEALS protecting Benghazi were safe, right?
If we get some more Ebola victims being admitted to hospitals in the US, don’t be surprised if some of the health care workers stop showing up for work.
Ebola will save them an average of $2500 a year.
The IRS didn’t target Conservatives...
the hand gel they sent the first wave over with will, no doubt, prevent any from being infected at all.
/s
that’s all the special gear they gave them. freaking hand gel. makes you totally trust every word out of their mouths on this, or anything else.
frankly this is a whole exercise in keeping a lid on everyone and seeing how long it can be done.
Did generations of GIs training for Nuclear, Biological, Chemical warfare really think that it was all about nothing?
Do people think that International Islamic terrorism is not going to attack our military and nation with biological agents at some point?
The military better be able to handle this mission, or we are in worse trouble than we know.
Obama’s Disaster number ? How many Obama disasters are there so far I lost count ?
Hey, that’s good news, because more than 300 health care workers have died from it, and I’m not sure the army’s stuff is going to be any better.
300 is 10 percent of 3000, as in 3000 troops. It’s rare you can use the word ‘decimation’ and really mean it in a prophetic sense - as in, “I predict our forces in West Africa will be decimated by the virus, if we are lucky.”
“U.S. Troops Fighting Ebola in Africa Will Be Safe: Pentagon”
In other words, someone has already contracted it.
and are already trained to deal with major crises, including nuclear disasters, said U.S. Army Gen. David Rodriguez
Man I am glad I had that excellent nuclear disaster training before the Government sent me to this shit hole Country to fight Ebola said no soldier ever............
No one over there is worth one of our troops’ lives. I am surprised that no commander just told Obola to go F himself.
This is a criminal misuse of military fighting men. They are trained to kill people and break things. What does a grunt know about fighting germs???
Any bets how long it takes until the first soldier is infected? Or how many will be infected?
We live in Opposite World.
Whatever they say, we reverse it for the truth.
Our troops are being used as guinea pigs....again.
After all this time you still think we are sending in 3 or 4 thousand infantry to stand around and watch?
I am so sick of the lying. I know for a fact I am not alone.
A few dozen U.S. troops will have direct exposure to potential Ebola patients by running testing labs in Liberia, the head of U.S. Africa Command said for the first time today.
While most of the 4,000 troops authorized to deploy to the west African country won’t have direct contact with victims of the virus -- as Pentagon officials have previously emphasized -- three or four specially trained personnel will run each of as many as seven testing labs, Army General David Rodriguez said at a Pentagon news conference.
“They are specifically trained to do that,” Rodriguez said of the lab personnel, which he called a “specialty element” of the larger force. .
Lab personnel will wear full protective gear, he said.
Three labs already have been set up in the country to respond to the epidemic and the military has received a request for four more, Rodriguez said.
Most of the troops in Liberia will focus on logistics, training and engineering support and won’t have direct contact with potential Ebola victims, he said. Troops are helping to build treatment centers. ,P>The U.S. mission in Liberia, which may last for about a year, is likely to cost about $750 million for the next six months, he said. "
