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.

The Pharisees who refused to vote for Romney have a lot to answer for. They made Obama President.

And the ones right here on FR are proud of it.

If anyone even doubted that Obama hates the US military then this should be a wake up call.

That is a hopeful thought Norm, to elect men of principle, honest and good. Unfortunately, few are allowed into the club or step forward. We have seen how the Tea Party candidates have been roundly squashed by the machine. We have also seen the Tea Party turn to commercial fund raisers, a shame.

We have at least two generations who have been non-schooled in principle, honor and good. Any hope of their becoming turned to this will be by a significant emotional event, a harsh one.

To quote Laz of today, “Comfort is the enemy of courage.” It also appears to be the enemy of right, honor and principle. Aren’t those just other words for courage though?

because they’re not going to be in contact with any of the people,” the commander of U.S. troops in Africa said.

Followed by:

They’ll be housed ... in Liberian Ministry of Defense facilities

And:

Their health will be monitored on their way in and out of camps.

Just yesteday it was reported they would be caring for patients. Nina and Ameber were more protected and look at what happened.

All we can do is elect enough of them to disband the club. That requires sacrifice on the part of the voter. they have to have principles and be willing to stand behind them even if it means the chance of losing.

For the tens of thousands of hours wasted by all of us on this issue it all comes doen to very very very simple math. Contrary to the RINO fand constant assertions, votes only go to those for which we cast them. voting for Daffy Duck does not result in a Barry vote.

that being the unarguable truth, we have to vote for conservatives. Last election proved some of us are not doing the RINO thing ever again, ‘no matter what’. So, that being the case, combined with the many who came to realize the futility of RINO voting since, A rino simply cannot win without us. We have to vote for them.

Now since enough of us will not, The Republicans can either run people we will vote for or lose. The RINObots can either vote for conservatives or lose. They better learn. We do not care. We WILL NOT vote RINO. So they have to join us andd vote conservative unless they want the dems to win.

Math shows that will happen in 2016 if they do not vote with us for a conservative. Logically they should because they SAY is all about winning. So with our vote and their vore a conservative becomes president.

All they have to do is join us. It could not be any easier a solution, nor any easier an equation. They SAY they are conservative and we ARE conservative. There WILL BE conservatives on the primary ballot. All we do is vote together and we win. Simple.

Or they vote rino because they are frauds and lose. But they have been told and we have proven we will do it. And we will do it again. And again. Because we do not vote RINO.

"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."

Exactly! Why would people expect them to wear a full hazmat suit to build hospital? That makes no sense. If they were working as doctors inside of a hospital with ebola patients - that would be a different matter altogether...but even the doctors working there now take off their hazmat suits when they leave those buildings.

Ah, C’mon, you awready know that answer. That’s about enough to dress the beltway crowd up well enough to get to their “secure facilities”. ——And that should make the whole bunch super easy to track down.

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.

How do you know this? Do you have a link? If this is true it's an outrage...

I have no idea why someone should wear a hazmat suit working amidst an ebola infected area around people of undetermined infection.

It makes no sense!

Yesterday’s news was they would remain in Liberia for treatment if they came down with Ebola.

Read your source again, this is the first paragraph.

""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.""

I will say that many of us took a beating here for almost two months for saying that American GIs should be allowed to come home for top medical treatment.

No need. I’m sure the new shelter that was built under the White house a couple years back is sealed tight.

Are you suggesting that everyone inside these countries should be wearing these suits at all times? What about in Texas - should everyone there be wearing them as well? What about Ohio?

Are you suggesting soldiers sent to ‘fight ebola” are doing so by remote control? If you ‘fight’ something to ‘contain’ something, you sorta gotta be pretty close to it. Doncha think?

No, obviously you do not think.

How many of these troops are hell bound to get Ebola?

When will we rise up and demand our country back?

Maybe we need to send our good journalist talking heads all there with these troops and make them wear the same gear. If we could turn the media against this order we might stand a chance.
