The Pentagon is sending as many as 1,000 more troops to Africa to help fight the Ebola virus.
The troops are being sent on top of the 3,000 President Obama has already ordered to help efforts in West Africa.

Mission creep
More troops are going to Africa....
Ping.
It looks like we’re going to need some more of those little, teeny tiny micro-bullets.
Can someone explain exactly what our troops are doing there? I understand concepts of humanitarian aid and all that, but is the military really set up to handle such a task?
The Politics of Personnel Infection.
To keep them from boarding flights to the U.S., I should think.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...
Obola continues to degrade the US military
with deviation them from their job.
Conclusion: Moslem Obola will protect his ‘son’, IS
and here there is bonus:
Obola brings Death to Americans
who now have lost their physicians ... due to him.
Those Ebolans are marching across the continent of Africa. No word yet as to whether the Ebolan prime minister as appealed to the UN for a “halt to the conflict.”
Do we have an exit strategy?? /sarc
We now have more troops in Africa than Iraq.
If I were the president, I would be sending these troops to the U.S. / Mexican border.....or should I say the FORMER
U.S. / Mexican border.
And, I would have sent those troops as soon as I lowered my right arm after taking the Oath of Office.
There is not any reason our military should be in Africa unless it is to kill terrorists.
I guess that I’m just mis-informed but I thought that this is what the WHO is chartered for.
If they were doctors ... maybe. But not otherwise.
They will not have direct contact with Ebola patients.
All this from a guy who said this recently:
OBAMA: The chances of an Ebola outbreak here in the United States are extremely low. We've been taking the necessary precautions, including working with countries in West Africa to increase screening at airports so that someone with the virus doesn't get on a plane for the United States. In the unlikely event that someone with Ebola does reach our shores, we've taken new measures so that we are prepared here at home.
Forgive me if these clowns in DC don't make me feel confident.
A fun “man on the street” interview question would be, “Do you think we’re right to go to war against the Islamic Republic of Ebola, or should we offer the Ebolans an open hand of conciliation?”
Any idea where these troops are stationed? Conservative state perhaps?
But we can’t stop anyone coming in to the country.
