The U.S. military is always helping.
Here they are helping during the 1976 Ebola problem.
“”“We had a large footprint in Africa,” Cummings said of the Defense Department’s response to the first Ebola cases reported in 1976 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly Zaire. Since that time, the Defense Department has answered numerous calls for assistance from the World Health Organization (WHO), nongovernmental organizations and ministries of heath and defense, he said.””
The US military does not have a mission to go in and care for these patients.
THey have a mission to contain it and protect Americans. If they are asked to do a humanitarian run they do so without bringing harm to the US citizens.
it is the exact opposite of bringing these people into the States with active ebola infections.
This is against what the military does. Note that the company who brought them in is private, and the hospital is University. Neither are military.
Our military is not in the business of taking chances with the American public.
