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]."
"As of today, no one has shown those symptoms. ... I’ve been here 30 days as of today,” he added. "And so they would be quarantined and then we would synchronize and work those actions so they would go back to the appropriate medical facility.”
Over 500 American troops are in West Africa, and according to Williams, none will directly be treating Ebola patients. However, he said that a select group of sailors will be handling mobile labs that contain bodily fluids of Ebola patients.
"I'm not an epidemiologist, but it's been shown that this disease is most manifest when handling bodily fluids--blood, other sorts of fluids, and there is no plan right now for U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines to do that,” said the general. “Now, the exception is the mobile labs that were here, and they are triple-protective.”

So, let me get this straight. The Liberians can come here for treatment but our young AMERICAN men and women have to be treated in Liberia? Houston, we’ve got a problem.

‘you want a travel ban, I’ll give you a travel ban”
punk
So we can restrict their flight back for 21 days but not a west african national?
“US Troops Who Contract Ebola Will Be Quarantined in Liberia.” You mean it’s a sure thing?
Thank you for doing that. This government is strikingly evil.
Probably a SEAL Team will handle that task.
Another Obama general speaks!!!
The actions of this administration have gone beyond criminal.
It really has gotten that bad that people have to die for Obama just to make his legacy look good.
I can’t handle this travesty anymore. I makes me sick.
But Judicial Watch: Obama Plans to Transfer Ebola-infected Foreigners to U.S. for Treatment.
O’s Treason!
Congress will justifiably bear the responsibility.
Not confusing at all. The President makes the first decision because he's a dumba$$ who hates America and wants score political points by "supporting" his brothers in Africa. A senior military commander is making the second decision, who loves this country and knows that the increased risk of spreading Ebola balanced against similar medical treatment (IV fluids and support care is all they can basically do, and it will be our military doctors most likely treating the soldiers and marines, not Africans) makes this the only sane choice.
May God be with our troops. They are trained to fight terrorists, not a virus! Is Dumbo going to send our doctors to Iraq and Syria?

How about instead of sending our soldiers over to begin with: we send Obama, alone, then see how fast travel restrictions happen!
