President Barack Obama is expected to issue an executive order Thursday paving the way for the deployment of National Guard forces to Liberia to help contain the Ebola outbreak there, sources told NBC News.

The sources said that eight engineers and logistical specialists from the Guard, both active-duty and reservists, would probably be included in the first deployment. They are expected to help build 17 Ebola treatment centers, with 100 beds apiece. The sources said that no decision had been made.

You have no idea idea how dangerous biological threat are, indeed its not an exaduration to say that Biological threats are the greatest threat to the human race given our limited genetic diversity and fast pace of travel.

When you throw in irresponsible and incompetent leaders like Obama into the mix who refuse to even try to slow down and control travel as a means of helping to contain an outbreak then what you have is a very dangerous threat, capable of wipeing out more people then all the wars we have ever fought combined.

It would be worse than Guyana in south America.

Africa is an extremely dangerous and unstable place. Our own border patrol has proven incompetent at controlling a barron desert they how do you think they would fair against jungles and tropical rivers?

This crap of calling up the Guards for foreign deployments for every blasted reason under the sun needs to stop. The Guards are also a part of the individual states Emergency Management. They take a slightly different oath which includes to obey orders of the governor. If an emergency happens back home the help is thousands of miles away on a social mission to make some stinking narcissist politician feel like the worlds savior.

Yes, thank you so much!! Sorry for the late reply. I will share it with several interested patients here in Dallas. Since we office directly across the street from Presbyterian Hospital patients are very concerned and it is nice to share a positive story of triumph over this virus.

Is our military obligated to take orders to commit suicide?

What if they all refused?

My husband spent 26 years in The Guard. There is no way I’d let him go on this suicide mission for the likes of the satanic muslim in the white hut. A dishonorable discharge for refusing to go would be preferable to death by O’Bola. May he rot in hell for what he does to our troops and to America.

“President Barack Obama is expected to issue an executive order Thursday paving the way for the deployment of National Guard forces to Liberia to help contain the Ebola outbreak there”

You heard the man. He is sending US servicemen over there to get exposed to Ebola in the supposed name of “containing” the disease. He could have sent building supplies and tools, but instead he’s sending soldier boys and girls who could carry the disease back home. He could have just sent doctors, nurses and other health care people, who can actually do something about the disease, but he’s also sending GIs who can do little more than anyone already there is able to, except carry the disease home.

How many full HAZ-MAT suits are being sent along to protect our troops?

Or are Dunce-Caps now “deemed” to be just as effective?
