Missionary work is preaching, teaching, healing, building, nurturing. We do not ask missionaries nor Peace Corp workers etc to kill or police areas and in the same divide we should not ask out troops to do missionary jobs nor nation build. There has to be a very necessary mental and physical separation between these two for both to succeed in their missions. One is for killing the other for healing. To do otherwise can bring significant mental health harm to those involve which I'm sure the Chaplian has seen way too much of.
This isn't telling a suffering nation you're on your own. There are world wide relief agencies both government and others which are private that are non military and should handle this. In the mean time POTUS tells nationals from these nations to come on to the United States for treatment and spread it around while our troops deployed there may never see their home again. There is no inoculation for this.
You really don't know what's been going on in regards to Ebola and Samaritan's Purse and DWB? The very reason that we are going in is because they were no match and were overwhelmed.
Don't you get it, they are already there and have been doing their best for all this time and losing and almost totally used up, they are not the cavalry, they are the Alamo.
We are sending the units over that will be doing EXACTLY what they do, Seabees and engineers will do construction, and logistics and supply people will do supply and logistics, and headquarters people will run a headquarters, and instructors will teach classes, and laboratory people will do laboratory work.
We are building 17 treatment centers with 100 beds each, we are building a 25 bed hospital just for the medial people, and we will be trying to train 500 medical helpers a week, and bringing in mountains of supplies and gear to those poor burnt out saps that you thought should be bailing us out.
