You apparently don't have much faith in our military. I am sure they are just going over to lick the bodies of Ebola patients and just rush back here to infect their families and America. Makes perfect sense.

No need to get snarky I'm just saying even the doctors completely covered in hazmat suits are getting ebola. It's not that I don't trust the military - it's Ebola I don't trust. Quarantine the entire area. That's what kept it from spreading before, it was in remote villages and burnt itself out - send it more victims to feed on and it will continue to spread.

“Quarantine the entire area. That’s what kept it from spreading before”

The current confirmed outbreak area is about 120,000 square miles!!!!!!! If we took every member of our entire military we could not enforce a quarantine on an area that large.

Ozarkgirl, no offense intended. I am sure you are a great gal, as are most of the people here. While we rightfully despise much of what Obama has done, and rightfully question most everything our government does, it still surprises me how hatred of the governments crimes against us clouds the judgment of many. That surprise sometimes bursts out snarkier than it should, sorry. We SHOULD be concerned about our military personnel going over there. But I don’t think any of us has the information we need to be assured of safety to the level which we would like. But they have done this before. We face the risk of ebola coming to America whether they go or not. Hopefully their efforts will help stop the spread and save many lives. There are no guarantees for Americans safety either way. But the risk of a globally spread ebola pandemic seems a much greater catastrophe than the alternative.
