Unbelievable. Troops from the 101st Airborne Division will not receive full protective Hazmat suits for their mission in West Africa. They’re being sent to West Africa – but won’t get full protective Hazmat suits.

Write your congressman. They should be able to stop this destruction to our military
Make it stop.
Obama works FOR us
Obama needs more human smallpox blankets for his brave new world.
At least, when the 101st and 81st dropped in at Normandy, they were armed to the gills and could at least see, hear, feel their attackers.
This is unconscionable. The people that send them there like this should rot in hell.
They are in daily contact with the people in Liberia. They are staying at local hotels and eating local food. We no longer expect to get the truth or a logical explanation from our Govt and that includes the military political officers.
Common sense tells us that our troops run the risk of being exposed to this disease. So this wise latino general is just covering for the regime.
So I wonder who the 160,000 hazmat suits were meant for?
I get the feeling Obama is taunting we the people with his actions. I actually believe anymore the theory that he IS trying to start something here with we the people.
One theory I’ve read is he is trying to get we the people to demand impeachment to promote “his people” to get off their duffs this election cycle, and vote to keep the Democrats in control of the Senate.
He’s obviously trying to stir up Ire for a reason.
Oh they’ll be fine. I read right here on FR that this is all crap. It’s not that contagious.
You’re just trying to spread panic for your right wing aganda...RACIST!
Obola works for us? Where have you been for six years? He works for Obola and against the United States. He hates us.
Don’t write, call and scream at the top of your lungs. We have noting to lose.
If I were a terrorist who hated the United States I’d be feeling pretty smug right now. I might even go out and enjoy a fine fall day and play a few rounds of golf in celebration of my good fortune and cunning.
Please call congress and tell them that we must be deadly serious about containing Ebola by strict quarantine within the United States and from infected nations. This is our right and our duty and it is THEIR duty to protect US.
Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121 or Google your congressman or senator and get his contact information and call him / her office directly. You can also call or go to their local offices.
I believe decisive response is urgent because you can’t put this Ebola genie back in the bottle once it gets out. It is a fire, it consumes all the fuel it can get and the fuel is people. The only way to stop a fire is to block it from the fuel or cool it with water. A vaccine or medicine to treat Ebola would be the water and we don’t have reliable, enough or any.
Every possible measure must be taken to stop the spread before draconian measures are imposed. What is being done now is sloppy. We are walking a dangerous road. The threat is blossoming by the day if not hour. Almost every hour there is some new Ebola development and none of them are good. This is a serious and potentially deadly event. Unchecked it could destroy or weaken the United States and facilitate our destruction by others. It has that potential for every country and that is why so many are responding with such strict quarantines. These consequences, no matter how small the probabilities, demand a full effort and significant response.
Ebola is being spread here in the United States right now. First Texas, then Ohio then? Terror is an excellent weapon. It disrupts, confuses, paralyzes and destroys a society. Many others and we on FR have speculated that terrorists may spread Ebola. How do you that remember 9/11 feel right now compared to what you felt then? Do you want to gather your loved ones near you to protect them? I do. Even more than I did on September 11, 2001! Isn’t this passive response by this administration accomplishing the very same things a terrorist would want?
When something is being done that makes as little sense as what Obama is doing there has to be some other reason. I leave it to you dear reader to draw your own conclusions as to the reasons.
What is happening now is insane. It makes no sense at all. For example the head of CDC says: “Stopping travel from Africa won’t do any good because you have to get people into Africa to fight Ebola.” “You can’t get Ebola from an infected person on a bus but an infected person should never be on a bus because he can infect others.” “Blocking travel from infected countries would damage their fragile economies.” What about ours? What about our safety? What about resources we have paid for that should be protecting us?
Even the most despotic dictatorship in Africa has acted to protect his nation by strict quarantine and stopping travel from infected countries. Even CDC, the UN and WHO advocate and credit strict quarantine for nipping the spread of Ebola in the bud at the source in places like Senegal and Nigeria where both have had faster and more successful outbreak controls than we have had here. 35 countries have stopped travel of people from infected West African countries. It is so obvious even a child could understand it so why is it OK for people from infected countries to travel here?
I will post this message and keep posting it until someone stops me.

What exactly is the mission of the 101st Airborne and how are they suited for the mission?
(and heaven help us, mixing airborne and Øbola just hit me with the irony stick)
It should be the Peace Corps Volunteers going to fight Ebola instead of our 101st Airborne Division.
The 101st soldiers are going to be the Headquarters element
The 101st will supply 700 soldiers to what will be 3 to 4 thousand, they are half of the first 1400, (the other 700 being mostly engineers).
“About 300 of the troops from the 101st Airborne will come from the division headquarters, and they will serve as the Joint Force Command for the mission.”
“A 101st Airborne press release issued Tuesday evening stated the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) Headquarters, Fort Campbell, will deploy as the Joint Force Command for Operation United Assistance in Monrovia, Liberia.
“Operation United Assistance is a critical mission,” said Maj. Gen. Gary J. Volesky, commander of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). “We will coordinate all of the Department of Defense resources in Liberia to support USAID and the government of Liberia to contain the Ebola virus and ultimately save lives.”
Unfortunately you’ll be calling the very people that refused to do squat and stood silently by for weeks when he started this fiasco. So don’t expect much.
Well, I guess electing principled people did matter afterall.
Yes, I believe nobody is this stupid without it being intentional. Obola hates us and all the United States once almost universally stood for. He is taking this as his time for vengeance against all groups who have wronged him during his warped and perverse upbringing.
This is terrorism and he is a terrorist.
A water balloon or condom filled with Ebola tainted liquid could cause a lot of damage in the hands of a few anti-American crazies that manage to get within throwing distance. And we thought EID’s were bad....
One source I checked claimed Liberia’s Muzzie population to be around 12%.
Of course not. Obama is an outright enemy of America; you expected normal behavior?
There is only one punishment for terrorism.
Why would they be wearing full hazmat suits?
The hazmat suits are only for when you are doing something that calls for you to put one on.
He's been taunting us with this kinda bullshit for the last six damn' years!!!!!
