Nurses, doctors, orderlies, I could understand. What can troops do against a deadly disease besides catch it?

President Obola will wait until there is rock solid proof that ebola transmission is airborne. It will be too late then and 70M Americans will be at risk.

Obama’s actions are treason at the very least. It's almost as if the pied piper is leading our military to suffering, pain and a slow death. There's evil in our world, all around us. I sense evil in Obama every times he speaks. This nation will rebound. God Bless America and God Bless our Military.

If they are over there ....they are having to do with ebola. Ebola is not just gonna stay put. In fact, it could be that 1000 of our troops have already become infected and this new 1000 are casualty replacements.

Really? American military for a disease in the crap countries of Africa? Plus, American military ground troops to fight ISIS that his short sightedness allowed ISIS to develop? If the man had any balls or foresight, he would have insisted on a "forces of agreement" before we ever left the shit hole of Iraq. So many deaths and so many maimed and for what now?

Screw Iraq and their so-called democracy and purple fingers. The only way that sinkhole could survive is with a large American force presence. Compare and contrast leaving Japan and Germany to their own devices after WWII. Think what would have happened if we had just left...

This "community organizer" will go down in history as one of the worst presidents, if not the worse. He has appointed the worst advisers, and those that do advise as knowledgable adults, he ignores.

More of our sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, etc., will die and be maimed due to Mr. Nobel Peace Prize winner and his liberal half-assed attempts. THE only way to stop this new Islamic malignancy is to go all out as we did in Dresdan and Hiroshima. Kill them all. Sorry if their children get killed, but better theirs than ours, which has already happened and is coming again.

Western civilization needs to find its survival instincts once again.

It’s a feel good action to say that “We are doing something” All the military hospital camps by that many troops are not going to be enough given the large size of the outbreak, the insecure borders, and the lack of law and order in Liberia” You’re not sending enough medical help to a nation that can’t even keep itself effectively safe, and is practically in chaos. The politicians are going to cause potentially many thousands of additional African deaths with this puny contingent sent to Africa.

Obama is the man who set up an echo chamber in D.C.. He gets all his friends who mostly agree with him together, and they praise and adore him. At days’ end, the brain atrophes since you don’t have to think hard or try editing the ideas to get them into action.

I’m not sure it’s even possible to send them enough medical help. You’re right that the problem goes way beyond just this outbreak of disease, and into the country’s basic lack of infrastructure (sanitation, for example), education and law.

There was a saying among foreign aid workers in that part of the world when something went wrong, “WAWA.” It means “West Africa Wins Again.”

The best thing we could do would be to devote ourselves to finding either a vaccine against it or a drug that treats it successfully.

.

- These sub-human Muslims put explosives on Muslim children and women and send them out to blow up Christians, Jews, and Muslims - all in the name of Allah - but they do not subject themselves to danger and/or death.

- You do not leave baby Coral Snakes alive as their poisons will also kill in under 20 minutes. -You must kill all the Coral Snakes.

- Obama is soft on radical terrorist Islamics because he - like his African-Kenyan radical Muslim father is a “barack Muslim” - boots on the ground in Africa - but not in Iraq and/or Syria. You have seen Obama kneeling on prayer rugs in Islamic Mosques - You have seen Obama dressed in full Islamic clothing - You have never seen Obama entering a Christian church - in fact you have seen the Christian symbols covered over when Obama spoke there. Hmmmm...

- Obama plans to bring America down - Obama wants the USA to be “fair” and let other nations have equally potent and lethal aircraft, tanks (like Obama gave to ISSA), and firearms.

- Obama considers himself to be the new “Magic Caliph”; but leading Muslims from his ass as usual.

- Hiroshima and Dresden for Muslims should be the aim of America. No “30-year war” as Panetta has just said the USA faces.

- Leon Panetta must have wonderful security - he is facing being “suddenly Breitbarted” by Barack Hussein Obama Junior.

I agree. In this case, I think we need THOUSANDS of our troops to refuse orders to be deployed to ebola Africa as human guinea pigs to placate the whims of the boy-king Obut-boy. If 0but-boy wants to deploy anyone, he should start with himself & Mooochelle!

Why should our troops allow themselves to be used as guinea pigs for 0but-boy
