Hang on and hunker down as PC ism, the wet dream of the liberals, kills more Americans and costs us trillions of $'s.

Washington (CNN) -- In an unprecedented move to protect U.S. troops that might be exposed to Ebola, U.S. military commanders are being given the authority to quarantine troops for 21 days at a Defense Department facility where they will be monitored for signs of the disease and treated if they do contract the virus, a Defense Department memo explained.
The memo, which was obtained by CNN, spells out the details of the military's plan for the first time.
It does not reveal the location of the facility, but one U.S. official said it may be a site in the Washington, D.C. area. The quarantine will apply to troops evacuated from West Africa, if it is determined they have an elevated risk of exposure to Ebola.

Hang on and hunker down as PC ism, the wet dream of the liberals, kills more Americans and costs us trillions of $'s.
so there is no one in Africa capable of building treatment facilities ?
A) We shouldn’t be sending them.
B) Since we are, they damn well should be quarantined upon returning.
C) And they should not have direct contact with anyone suspected of being infected, despite a recent suggestion by Rep. Keith Ellison to the contrary.
I have 3 young relatives in the military now and all are leaving ASAP when their first enlistments are up and that is soon, thank goodness. All are leaving due to the fake president.

Or Fort Detrick
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Detrick
Fort Detrick is a United States Army Medical Command installation located in Frederick, Maryland. Historically, Fort Detrick was the center of the US biological weapons program from 1943 to 1969. Since the discontinuation of that program, it has hosted most elements of the United States biological defense program.
As of the early 2010s, Fort Detrick’s 1,200-acre (490 ha) campus supports a multi-governmental community that conducts biomedical research and development, medical materiel management, global medical communications and the study of foreign plant pathogens. It is home to the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC), with its bio-defense agency, the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID). It also hosts the National Cancer Institute-Frederick (NCI-Frederick)[1] and is home to the National Interagency Confederation for Biological Research (NICBR)[2] and National Interagency Biodefense Campus (NIBC).
Fort Detrick is the largest employer in Frederick County, Maryland.
I will be sending you a private message/answer.
We quarantine OUR military (that should not be there)
but not the Patient Zeros and terrorists?
Given enough time and budget they probably could create a safe quarantine and treatment facility large enough for the job. I doubt Obama will provide either. In that case I’d rather not risk the intellectual capital now present there.
I want to say, “are there ANY intelligent people in the administration at all?”
But we know this is all by design, we know he sent them there to specifically to endanger them, just that nobody is gutsy enough to say it.
They must be testing a vaccine with these soldiers.
The hypocrisy is staggering. We all know they must be quarantined, thanks to our “so called” leader, just for being there.
Instead,our military should be stacked deep all along our borders. Perfect time to close our borders(It even would be considered pc), with the promise of being shot. Like it always should be.
Active Duty ping.
Hey, just toss ‘em some X-boxes, junk food, and porn, and they’ll be good to go for 21 days.
It is stupid to send troops to West Africa when it is amidst a biological weapons attack.
Army Doctrine: Healthy Troops DO NOT enter contaminated areas. The basic component of force protection in a biologically contaminated area is AVOIDANCE.
Got that.
IT’S ARMY DOCTRINE. You AVOID the contaminated area.
(FM 3-100, FM 17-98)
Appendix B
SECTION 1 — CONTAMINATION AVOIDANCE
Avoidance is the most important fundamental of NBC defense because the best way to survive is to avoid being the object of an NBC attack. Avoiding contaminated areas minimizes the risk of additional casualties and the degradation of combat power caused by operating in MOPP level 3 or 4 for extended periods of time. In addition, the unit is not required to spend the time and resources needed for decontamination. Contamination avoidance measures include using passive avoidance measures, locating contaminated areas, identifying NBC agents, warning other members of the platoon as well as other units, and reporting NBC threats to higher headquarters. If the tactical situation does not allow avoidance, the unit must be prepared to operate in a contaminated environment.
Passive avoidance measures can decrease the possibility of NBC attack or reduce the effects of an attack already under way. Effective use of concealment, dispersion, prepared positions, OPSEC, and signal security lessen the chances of being acquired as a target. The scout platoon should continually analyze its vulnerability to NBC attack and take appropriate protective measures.
Attacks and contamination must be detected quickly and reported to adjacent units and headquarters elements. The scout platoon must have an effective method of quickly passing the alarm in the event of an NBC attack. The alarm can be passed by radio, audible signals, or hand-and-arm signals. The SOP should specify automatic procedures for employing detection teams and submitting the required NBC reports after an NBC attack or when contamination is encountered.
All movement routes and future positions should be reconnoitered for nuclear and chemical contamination whenever possible. Reconnaissance and quartering parties should be prepared to encounter, detect, identify, report, and mark contamination. By finding the location and type of hazard (nuclear radiation or chemical agent), the scout platoon can determine the best plan for bypassing, crossing, or operating in the hazard. The platoon must be prepared to locate and evaluate the hazard based on available information from fallout predictions (simplified and detailed), chemical downwind hazard predictions, monitoring data, and contamination overlays. Based on the situation, the platoon leader and parent unit commander must be able to implement protective measures specified in the SOP to minimize personnel losses and limit the spread of contamination.
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Do you think the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force considers Africa a "contaminated area", and one that they cannot operate in and must avoid at all costs, is that why you posted that snippet from an FM about a platoon operating in a contaminated area?

USAMRIID’s biological surety program is governed by a broad set of Federal, DoD and U.S. Army regulations and policies. The program, which enables us to safeguard both the biological materials we use in our laboratories and the personnel who work here, consists of four key areas:
The new USAMRIID facility, adjacent to the existing Building 1425, is currently under construction. It will expand the Institute's capacity to test products developed by our partners in biodefense research; incorporate newer technologies for developing vaccines, drugs and diagnostics; and better accommodate our workforce, which has more than doubled since the program began.
