What took the Italian government so long to protest the presence of quarantined US servicemen on their soil?
The US does not want them on their soils so they just dump them in Italy?
Obama’s arrogance is just incomprehensible. It is like doing a bowel movement on your neighbor’s doorstep.
In this case, it’s the regional state government that went into this hostile episode. The Italian federal government guys haven’t said much. I think the local Air-Traffic-Control mechanism alerted the regional folks that the plane was coming out of central Africa, and that got them into place. They will use it for political purposes to churn up votes in the regional elections.
What I find interesting is that anyone from DoD who goes into the ‘hot-zone’ is supposed to go into a three-week quarantine deal, as the Pentagon has directed. This general and his team weren’t going to play that game. We should also note, that the pilot, co-pilot and crew...should also be forced each time they go through the ‘hot-zone’ to return and spend three-weeks in some quarantine deal. Of course, this would wipe out the Air Force operational and available crew numbers in a short period of time.
