The commanding general of the 101st Airborne Division and 700 of his troops will head to Liberia in late October as the military steps up its response to the Ebola crisis in West Africa, the Pentagon announced Tuesday.
The "Screaming Eagle" troops from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, will set up a headquarters in Monrovia, the Liberian capital, and will be joined by 700 combat engineers from several commands, the Pentagon said.
Once the troops have arrived, Army Maj. Gen. Gary Volesky, commander of the 101st, will replace Maj. Gen. Darryl Williams, as commander of the U.S. military response to the Ebola epidemic that has hit hardest in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. Williams will return to his post as commander of U.S. Army Africa, the Pentagon said.
Aid groups and officials in West Africa have complained about what they called the slow pace of the U.S. and the international community's response to the epidemic. Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon spokesman, took particular issue with published reports calling the military's efforts thus far "slow-footed."

Yes, Obama is trying to kill our troops. We’ll know more in three weeks or so.
King Obama will quarantine Texas before he’ll shut down air travel coming from ebola-affected areas in Africa.
0bama needs to stop all fights to/from East Africa RIGHT NOW! We better do this before other countries stop flights from Texas.
Instead he wants soldiers to act as infectious vectors importing the virus.
Even Chris “tingles” Matthews is against 0bama on this one.
I’m sure the market will love this.
Let’s all thank our feckless, sadistic, and malicious leader!
Why 'imagine' ? Here's the real thing. (you may need to change underwear after viewing)
In a time, when the single best division to send to fight ISIS would be the 101st, America’s only Air Assault Division, we are sending it’s CG and some element of it to wear decontamination suits in Liberia.
Abso-freakin-lutely amazing
BTTT!
What base in CA did Campion and his family escape from?
By 'coincidence' the bottom has dropped out of the airline stocks.
Enough said.

FOAD you mulim enabling, uneducating, bat eating morons.
To ask the question is to answer the question.
I don’t like this.
(not that I think they should be sent. )
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Remember when this subject first came up, they were going to be engineers and medical support types. How does the 101st enter into that equation?
I really think in this case, the CIC should be first off the plane.
Please understand. If your intent was to destroy the last bastion of liberty and freedom in the world, you would be doing exactly what Obama is doing. Every decision he has made and continues to make is to achieve that aim.
So, to answer your question, nothing is wrong with him, he has a plan that he is apparently carrying out with flawless perfection.
