Lessee, we train the Army and the Marines to kill people, and break things, and we use the Peace Corps to teach hygiene and sustenance. So I think our Nobel Peace Prize winner picked the wrong group to face the Ebola menace.
We train the military in a great number of specialties, they are the ones we are using on this mission.
We are not sending over units that don’t fit into the mission.
Our military does have people who are trained to deal with agents like ebola.
I’m sure there numbers don’t even begin to come close to the several thousand troops that are headed into harm’s way.
