President Barack Obama is expected to issue an executive order Thursday paving the way for the deployment of National Guard forces to Liberia to help contain the Ebola outbreak there, sources told NBC News.

The sources said that eight engineers and logistical specialists from the Guard, both active-duty and reservists, would probably be included in the first deployment. They are expected to help build 17 Ebola treatment centers, with 100 beds apiece. The sources said that no decision had been made.

If there was a coup, who would enforce his martial law? The Supreme Court?

Will Putin at some point be suggesting that comrade obama withdraw troops from Liberia?

IT IS AN UNLAWFUL ORDER AND THE NATIONAL GUARD SHOULD STAND DOWN.

Gee, I wonder if he’s going to try and punish Texas some more and send its national guard (after calling them up for federal active duty).

I have also been trying to do all I can to discourage young people from joining the military service, especially under this Usurping Commander in Grief!!! Barack INSANE 0zer0 hates our military and will do anything to destroy them so he can replace them with illegals(which he is presently doing) in which he will be putting guns in their hands! They will eventually in the very near future be under his command as his ‘Brown Shirt Army’!! To send our 101st Airborne is totally insane....What are they going to do but bring ebola back to this Nation upon their redeployment!! After almost 30 yrs in the military, our son is trying to get out on Medical Retirement and now the military will not let him retire out for at least 9mos!! Well under E0 by 0zer0, Guess who is up for possible deployment....our son who was hit by an IED with all types of disabilites that they refuse to credit him with!! But 0zer0 fired over 200 generals and other high ranking military that knew how to fight and lead against ‘Terrorist Warfare...even gave them ‘Pink Slips’ while fighting terrorists in Afghanistan!!! Not only that....our son is a single father of two daughters to rear!! We are praying very hard that he and his men will not be sent on deployment for this Ebola cause!!

You Betcha....With the National Guard out of the way....how can they protect our southern border (Although I believe that Gov. Perry sent the TX Guard to the Southern TX Border) and be here for disasters that are about to hit here!! Could this be is E0 “October Surprise”? National Guard would not be here to vote or protect, so he would most likely call by E0 for Martial Law, proclaim himself Supreme Dictator....in which there would be NO ELECTION Period then!!!

Questions:

Why are we sending US troops to Africa?

What is their specific mission?

Who is in command of this mission?

Who will provide the daily briefing to the press on the mission status?

Is this a joint-nation operation, and if so, what other nations are providing troops?

What protocols are in place for US troops who become infected with Ebola?

(Typed with angry face)

watch the resignation rate. The recruiting will totally stop.

That's one of the objectives.

Every one of you who've been helping him also have blood on your hands.
And the deaths of Americans will be on your heads also.
