While Obama’s plans stink tremendously as usual, there is a logical reason why the military needs to be concerned with Ebola as well as other dangerous pathogens.
That is biological warfare. Nefarious groups could potentially figure out a way to use it, and without a treatment or vaccine, use it on our troops.
With the nut jobs out there who have PUSADS (Permanent USA Derangement Syndrome), there’s bound to be a few who are trying it.
With the foreign enemy combatant in our White House (a prime case of PUSADS) there’s always the danger that HE is trying to use it. That’s what some of us are worried about.
It does make me feel better, though, to know that the Army has been involved in this kind of research for a long time. I’m glad that was brought out here, because it makes me realize that something I thought was fishy is really not fishy. That’s why it’s good for the theories, thoughts, suspicions to be voiced - so they can be weighed and found either worthy of attention or debunked.
