The explanations of the Ebola outbreak in 1976 don’t mention the US military. If you happen across some treatment of the subject that is more extensive, then please post the link on free republic. It might help those of us who have serious doubts about DoD involvement with thousands of troops.

The doc might have meant ‘involvement’ by ‘big footprint’ rather than deployed soldiers.

In any case, you are concerned that the outbreak be stopped and you see the US military having the expertise to do that. If you were president of Liberia, would you give them authority to quarantine an area and shoot violators? It would be a PR nightmare, but I would.

My bottom line, though, would be no boots on the ground. I would totally quarantine those countries as those of their neighbors not suffering an outbreak have effectively done....so far.

There you are with the lying again.

I thought I covered your first attempt, but here you come out with "thousands of troops" as though that was posted, no one said anything about deployed troops or thousands of troops in 1976.

Then you go into shooting people.

When you are so thoroughly dishonest, it just wastes time trying to post to you.
