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.

Why not enlist Chicago punks....they know how to throw down.
Thanks
Miliary acronysms are a PITA IMHO. ;)
Not to mention being the cause of many inter-servicr bar fights. ;>)
This is pointless. None of that will stop Ebola from coming to the US. Obama is out of his friggin mind.
watch the resignation rate. The recruiting will totally staop. This is madness.
Cherry, me, too!! I think I’ve convinced my 12 yo son that military doesn’t equal “cool”. To the best of my ability, I’ll work to keep my son from being cannon fodder for the world’s elites.
Civil Air Patrol may have to handle that if NGs get called up and away.
And televise it.
So how do we stop Ebola from spreading? It seems to me to be as dangerous as any terrorist threat that we face. For example, the 1918 flu virus killed more people worldwide than World War I. It was only killing 5% of those infected. Ebola is killing about 70%.
We could conceivably be talking about millions of dead Americans if we don’t stop this thing in its tracks. Every day that it is allowed to spread makes it that much harder to bring under control.
I’ve been trying to get my kid to understand that he needs to get out for about 4 years. I think he’s finally going to not re-up this next time.
Hopefully he doesn’t get caught up in this crap!
Send em to the border to build some decent fences.
NO!
I'm so glad I'm out of the reserves.
Nothing about fighting and defending the country but all about social and rescue services... well here ya go, time to pony up and be all that you can be to feel "good" about the national guard.
The military has turned into a rescue 911 and infectious disease experts.
yipee!
” The same National Guard he wouldnt send to our southern border. I know it is pointless to ask this, but Congress, WHERE ARE YOU?”
All they care about is lying low, and getting re-elected. The Repubs controlled by rich RINOS. The people be damned.
Seems balanced, no?
With the US military and National Guard overseas
getting Ebola, the First Undocumented Moslem by Fraud has
asked the “rebels” to come to America to guard
the Homeland and to act as nurses in all hospitals.
............... [/s is this necessary]
Your remark about not having the Guard available for emergencies applies equally to all other troops who might be sent on the Mahdi’s errand of insanity. They, too, will be unavailable for emergencies during any quarantine.
This is a job for the peace corps, but, probably, their Bolshie donor daddies won’t allow it.
