"I didn't see the military anywhere back in the 40's AND 50'S. When as a child we had TB,measles, mumps,polo,whooping cough,scarlet fever, flu, small pox, chicken pox, and I could go on and on with the listing. We made it. The local health departments had good control of any quarantines. Families and friends worked together to support the quarantined. Now this is just one small town that I lived in. But I bet this was going on all over the country. We didn't have chicken Little's running all over the place shouting "the sky is falling". Military must be kept out of any quarantine illness, except for possible medical help. But physical surround a town or city with tanks, Humvee, and arm solders is an act of war. This could led to very sad results. No! Posse Comitatus.MUST STAND AS IS AND NOT BE SCRAPED OR DELUTED!!!"


That was a time when men were men and people didn't have the "the government will take care of me" attitude".

Unfortunatly, all the expanding goevernment programs have accomplished their goal--most americans are now sheep in bug government's pasture.

Things do change mostly for the better but always at a price of big government. Your right family looked out for family. I pray that we will not see the BIRD FLU here in the US. It is a give me that we will. It will be bad. One can only hope that our Medical staffing (both civ/Mil)can see us through the deadly crisis.
