As Americans grow increasingly concerned about Ebola both here and around the world, I’ve been speaking with respected doctors who have spent most of their lives working for our government.
The concern they have about the Ebola threat to the American people is very real.
They have spent their lives making sure America has the right systems and technologies in place to prevent potentially catastrophic medical events, such as hemorrhagic fevers.
These doctors are not alarmists; they are patriots who have dedicated most of their lives to making sure that our nation was adequately prepared for an event such as this.

What is the “opposite” of “my claim”? What conclusion?
Wouldn’t it be easier for you just to post whatever your point it is, rather than all these little bits and questions?
I thought you were in favor of sending U.S. troops to Liberia.
Would you get to some coherent point about post 75, and quit wasting time with all these useless posts?

We need to know that our military is competent, so far we have learned that no one in the civilian sector, from the government down to local hospitals has a clue, or seems to have ever had any interest in this stuff, or to have taken it seriously.
Contrary to what so many here seem to think, the military has always been deeply involved in this kind of thing and being able to survive and operate in the face of not only infectious disease, but even weaponized bio agents and carefully planned and delivered threats.

Is it right for Obama to send troops to Liberia?
Why don’t you just read the thread, and then try to get to a relevant point.
If the government has no clue and has not taken it seriously as stated in your post # 5, then sending troops to Liberia is not a serious decision meant to help the situation.
Thanks for stating your opinion that took six posts to get to, I don’t know what it was in post 5 that made such an impression on you though.
Well, if you now agree that it appears to be very stupid to send troops to Liberia instead of banning flights, you can feel confident in your assessment.
What in the world are you rambling about?
Sending troops to Liberia was a stupid idea.
Just tell me what you are saying in your own words.
I’m saying his story contains important information; I would recommend researching it.
Well, who knows what you are trying to say, you won’t tell us.
Here’s my question...What have the countries of West Africa done with the billions of dollars the US has given them?...The infrastructure that the US military is going to provide should already be in place...
Ansel, just about every post between here and the end of this thread is one in which you are belittling someone or being rude, disagreeable, or negative. Your posts prior to this are largely the same.
Do you really want to be known as a troll?
All people are doing is disagreeing with our nation (president) sending troops to the ebola contaminated countries, disagree that this is a reasonable mission for them, and disagree that they will be sticking to some defined task of building buildings and an undefined task called “support”.
Folks say “ebola is not a legitimate mission for the US Army” and your reaction too often is to call them liars.
Lt Gen Boykin, former Delta Force commander, former Asst SecDef, and an extremely honorable man says that this is not the way to use our Army.
I trust his honesty more than anyone from this administration or anyone they’ve elevated in this army. Have you noticed how crazy his info on ebola has been? You can’t get it on a bus, but you can give it on a bus.
xzins you are determined to make everything personal since you don’t do very well on the topic, that is troll like, that post you just made and a huge ping list is troll like.
Don’t be a troll, just post on the topic and respond to our posts.
This post set you off on a tangent and you started posting at me, if you disagree with it, then why not say where, and this time don’t get off into pretending that it says that we have fought in bio combat.

Why not make some reasoned statement regarding it?
>> “By now there is no reason for you not to know what the mission is for those troops.” <<
.
By now there is no reason for you to continue misrepresenting your personal knowledge of what the mission is for those troops.
You’re blowing smoke as you always seem to do.
.
Wow, you jump onto the thread just to make a personal attack, and another strange one at that.
We know what the mission is because it is reported, where am I “misrepresenting your personal knowledge of what the mission is”?
The 101st will supply 700 soldiers to what will be 3 to 4 thousand, they are half of the first 1400, (the other 700 being mostly engineers).
“About 300 of the troops from the 101st Airborne will come from the division headquarters, and they will serve as the Joint Force Command for the mission.”
“A 101st Airborne press release issued Tuesday evening stated the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) Headquarters, Fort Campbell, will deploy as the Joint Force Command for Operation United Assistance in Monrovia, Liberia.
“Operation United Assistance is a critical mission,” said Maj. Gen. Gary J. Volesky, commander of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). “We will coordinate all of the Department of Defense resources in Liberia to support USAID and the government of Liberia to contain the Ebola virus and ultimately save lives.”
