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.

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.

Why not make some reasoned statement regarding it?
AMEN. I’m not saying don’t help. I don’t think our troops need to be there on the ground in country.
But I have long been a staunch supporter of Jim's admonition that personal attacks...will not be tolerated.
Stop that sh!t.
Ansell, you have a mind, why go to the base?
We had gigantic fights in the olden days on this site, but we tried to keep it civil.
Don't get me wrong, ther were times when I screwed up. Big.
But I always came back to the principal that a fellow Freeper is AT LEAST thinking about SOMETHING.
