General: US Troops Who Contract Ebola Will Be Quarantined in Liberia
Breitbart ^ | Oct. 18, 2014 | Edwin Mora

If any American soldiers in Liberia contract the deadly Ebola virus, they will be quarantined, stabilized, and evacuated to a medical facility for treatment, said the Ebola mission commander, adding that the U.S. military hospitals that will admit potentially infected troops have not yet been identified.

“If, God forbid, one of these soldiers, sailors, airmen, or marine contracted this disease, as I mentioned, they would be stabilized, they would be quarantined, we would go through the appropriate protocols,” Maj. Gen. Darryl Williams, commander of U.S. Army Africa, said on October 16 while briefing reporters in the Pentagon by telephone from Liberia. “People would be attending to them in the appropriate PPE [personal protective equipment]."

Obama determines what Americans want, and does the opposite.

Yet we won't quarantine anyone here who's actually been exposed, nor restrict travel in any way.

I don't know how anyone could stand serving with this POS as CinC.

Personally I believe we’re asking for big trouble by sending in thousands of airborne unit combat troops to a country known as Liberia. Which according to some functionary appointed by “Obama The Magnificent Incompetent” are being sent there to help construct infastructure for a series of Ebola health clinics.

Liberia is a country created by former American slaves who’s capital,Monrovia,is named after an American President James Monroe. According to a report I heard from a local conservative talk show host which I could be wrong,(and truly hope so) reported. “The city has only 7 or 9 public toilets, and a mere 26 miles of fresh water piping.”

Right now the country has just gotten through a bitter civil war and seems to be the current epicenter of the Ebola outbreak that btw started after an infestation of caterpillars. I mention that because Sierra Leone where the epidemic originated from had the same experience.

Here is some of the other krap that is going on there;

malaria
While it’s obvious we gave this effort by former enslaved American citizens to return to the continent they were taken from meger attention and support following its creation than what should been given.

Under present circumstances we should be circumspective of the assistance we offer. Certainly sending combat units not equipted with the knowledge, training, or backgound to do what is needed. Placing them in harms way in an area where the likelyhood of contracting a deadly disease is pre eminent simply because it suits political symbolism is madness.

THAT is what I’d like to know. Why is ANYONE - at least actual Americans - continuing to serve this SOB???

There was a time when people had a sense of honor - now all the rats care about is their rat party.

Which bring up why would any actual American be so stupid to vote rat??? Hello Georgia and Kentucky, etc.!!!!

Yes you did. But then again, it’s not a surprise considering that people in politics need to argue and dismiss people as idiots, I am not surprised that stupidity results.

But the Obola administration wants to bring Liberians here for treatment.

Just outrage on top of outrage.

What are they going to do about their highly contagious corpses? And how will that go with strong military beliefs about “leave no one behind?”
