In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Marines headed to Africa to fight Ebola outbreak, ansel12 wrote:
I said we, America, we are the ones that tell the military where to go and what to do.

“”We are using engineers and Seabees, and supply and aviation logistics people, we are building 17 treatment centers of 100 beds apiece, and a 25 bed hospital for the health care workers to be treated in, and will be moving great amounts of supplies and materials.””
Since when is an airborne unit composed of seabees and engineers ?
First, why do you repeat the thread information in your post?
Second, when I posted “We aren’t sending 3,000 CBRN military people because that isn’t the mission.
Most of this is about construction and logistics and moving supplies, and teaching classes to produce up to 500 native medical helpers a week.”
“We are using engineers and Seabees, and supply and aviation logistics people, we are building 17 treatment centers of 100 beds apiece, and a 25 bed hospital for the health care workers to be treated in, and will be moving great amounts of supplies and materials.”
What do you think that I meant? Do you think that I was excluding all others, or that the headquarters element coordinating the operation could not be from the Air Assault Division, the 101st, which hasn’t actually been an Airborne Division since 1968, and which is sending 700?
