In my non-medical opinion, the simple instructions that the troops are getting to protect themselves against ebola are probably reasonably effective. The problem with ebola, particularly in Africa, was that people probably weren’t even getting minimum instructions to protect themselves against ebola.
As an analogy, the Constitution’s prohibitions on the federal government’s powers are relatively simple and can fit on two pages, citizens easily reading the two pages in minutes. But as a consequence of widespread ignorance of the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, just as with the widespread ignorance of the simple rules for preventing ebola, just look at the political problems and injustice that blissful ignorance of the Constitution has caused in the states.
I’m sure this question must have been asked before, so forgive me for asking it again. But we have a national medical service, complete with uniforms. Why then are we sending soldiers to fight an epidemic disease? Maybe we should send our uniformed national medical service to fight ISIS.
We have a medical service that does large construction projects in foreign lands, and handles large logistics and supply missions?
Apparently we do now.
Not that anyone else can see, what are you talking about?
I’m not sure what I could have said differently to make it clearer to you, or the anyone else you’re speaking for. Trying again, in other words, I’m saying that we should be using our armed forces for armed forces kind of jobs, like killing people who behead our citizens and have declared war on us, and that we should be using our medical services for medical missions.
Read post 16, the military is doing what they are trained to do.
Are you under the impression that we are sending infantry over to give shots and take temperatures?
I have read post 16 again. Read post 26 again.
So far you are clueless on what our troops will be doing in Africa and why it is exactly what they do, and instead seem to think that they will be doing work that they don’t do, and you want civilian medical people to become combat troops in the Middle East.
Perhaps you are so busy being cutesy, that you aren’t making any sense whatsoever.
How could you call me clueless after I’ve read post 16 twice now?
Military has ability to build infrastructure and run hospitals why?
Now you want to know why the military can build things, and can have hospitals?
No, I want you to know why the military can build things and run hospitals.
And that's he crux of the issue.
These troops are NOT supposed to be treating the sick or coming in close contact by plan.
But Liberia is one giant, seething cauldron of Ebola puss and sh!t. You can't help but get some on you.
When US Soldiers start dying of this, and they WILL, I hope somebody is able to smuggle out pictures of their suffering for posting on the internet.
the tried and true way to not get ebola in liberia is to not go to liberia
You aren’t making any sense, but go ahead and tell us why the military can build things and has military hospitals, something that we all know, but perhaps don’t know the origins and history of
It's called "combat engineering."
Nobody can build infrastructure like roads, hospitals, dormitories, water and power utilities as fast as our military.
The military also runs 54 military hospitals, and vastly more clinics, and of course wartime field operations.
Wife just did her training...77 pages from the CDC. It was convoluted and retarded.
What "implies" that?
