A trio of House Democrats is calling on President Obama to allow U.S. troops in West Africa to provide direct care to Ebola patients.

The Obama administration has already committed around 4,000 U.S. troops to help fight Ebola in the affected West African countries, but they are performing tasks such as building treatment centers and training local providers, not directly providing care.

Reps. Keith Ellison (Minn.), Karen Bass (Calif.), and Barbara Lee (Calif.) want to change that.

Meanwhile there are some 21 UN peacekeepers already under quarantine there.

They aren’t stupid - they are malevolent.

Just wrong in so many ways. These folk did not sign on for this.

The Public Health Service is better equipped to do that.

Do Ellison and Lee want out troops to get Ebola?

This - among many reasons - is why I would advise anyone to RUN away from military service.

Absolutely stupid thing to do. They aren’t trained for it. Now if we send them over there to set up a perimeter around quarantine camps where we put those that are infected then it makes sense.

Why don’t we send these geniuses to Africa to share their wisdom with Ebola sufferers?

I have a better idea. Why don’t these three idiots hop on a plane over to West Africa and lead by example? You can bet that’s not going to happen anytime soon.

Now, that is prescient. The malevolence of the rat regime has no limit, no boundary, no taboos, it is evil unleashed on America.

Send those 3 clowns over and let them care for the patients if they are so concerned.

” This - among many reasons - is why I would advise anyone to RUN away from military service.”

Exactly what Obama wants.

Demoralize

Destroy

That’s just brilliant. Have soldiers with no medical training risk death by caring for Ebola patients. I guess for Dems it’s not enough that many of them already risked death in Iraq and Afghanistan.

You will find this hard to believe, but there are FReepers who want our military involve with Ebola as train for bio-weapons. I don’t understand it, but they are certainly adamant about it.
