What is it about these threads that brings out all the angry guys?
I didn’t say that it was biological warfare, but it is an infectious disease threat to the United States and to the world, and to Africa.
The Army is going in to try and help end this outbreak, and keep it from breaking out in mass, limit it’s escape, to at least individuals rather than floods of refugees. This is the 26th outbreak of Ebola since 1976, the Army has always been involved to some degree and in this largest outbreak, the Army involvement is it’s largest effort to date.
The Army is who detected and handled most of the Ebola outbreak in the Unites States in 1989.
As far as being in Africa, the Army is all over Africa, it is an area of operations for them, they have bases and stations in well over a dozen African nations.
“I didn’t say that it was biological warfare, but it is an infectious disease threat to the United States and to the world, and to Africa.”
SO any time infectious disease breaks out anywhere, the Army should be there?
If the Army were sent to set up a perimeter to prevent people from spreading Ebola, I might agree. But that’s not what they are there to do, is it?
“The Army is who detected and handled most of the Ebola outbreak in the Unites States in 1989.”
Ah..in the United States? That’s not in Africa, is it?
Do you know the real reason the Army is in Africa? I’ll bet you can reason this one out. I’ll give you a hint: It has nothing to do with protecting the USA

I don’t know - maybe if you lay out a few more ridiculous arguments and red herrings all will become clear.
