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?

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.”

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.

Apparently Dear Reader has found a use for the military. Beats the heck out of actually stopping people from these infected countries from flying to the U.S.

There is not any reason our military should be in Africa unless it is to kill terrorists.

From the article:

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?

Louise and her family couldn’t stay put for 24 hours. Multiply that by 100, 1000, 10,000 and we’ll be needing those troops back home. Of course, they’ll be bringing it back with them so maybe not.

How many of our service men and women will get Ebola due to inadequate protection?

Remember Obama in 2009?...

“I’m busy and [Speaker] Nancy [Pelosi]’s busy with our mop cleaning up somebody else’s mess — we don’t want somebody sitting back saying, you’re not holding the mop the right way.” [Applause] “Why don’t you grab a mop, why don’t you help clean up. [Then they tell me] You’re not mopping fast enough. That’s a socialist mop. [Tells Republicans] Grab a mop — let’s get to work.”

Witness today, Obama’s socialist mop spreading around the Ebola virus, Islamic Jihad and government dependency.

What happens if a number of the troops contract ebola?

Remember that this is not an impossibility because they will, sooner or later, come in physical contact with infected persons.

Some may be Al Qaeda agents trying to spread the disease. A mere handshake may suffice for transmission.

Where will the troops go to recuperate or die?

Just as in war, there are deaths and casualties.

So will there be in regard to soldiers who become infected.
